Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger
N-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
Man I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
I need you right now
Let's get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary, I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a fuck what they all say, right?
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask, 'cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real shit anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
'Cause right now thou hast forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake shit
So go ahead, go nuts, go apeshit
Specially in my pastel, on my Bape shit
Act like you can't tell who made this
New Gospel homie, take six and take this, haters
N-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now (me likey)
I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in the plans or not
I'm tripping, this drink got me saying a lot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me?
It's a thousand yous, there's only one of me
I'm tripping, I'm caught up in the moment, right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gonna do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Uh, baby you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
N-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now
You know how long I've been on ya?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since O.J. Had Isotoners
Don't act like I never told ya
Don't act like I never told you
Don't act like I never told you
Don't act like I never told you
Don't act like I never told you
Don't act like I never told you
Baby, you're making it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
N-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
I need you right now
You know how long I've been on ya?

The first verse of "Stronger" by Kanye West Feat. Pitbull talks about the idea of taking something and working hard to make it better. The repetition of "work it, make it, do it" towards the start of the lyrics signify this idea of constant growth and self-improvement. The chorus builds upon this idea of self-improvement, where every obstacle that doesn't kill the individual, only makes them stronger. The lyrics talk about how the individual needs someone to hurry up and come to assist them. They have been waiting for so long that they need that person immediately.
The second verse of the song depicts Kanye's lavish lifestyle, where he mentions going out with someone and doing what he wants to do. He talks about not caring what anyone else thinks about him, and he only cares about himself. He speaks about greatness and how people should feel honored in his presence. The lyrics also mention how he would do anything for a blonde girl as long as he gets what he wants. The bridge of the song talks about how Kanye has been waiting for the individual for a long while now and how the person shouldn't act like Kanye hasn't told them about his expectations.
