Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger
N-n-now 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
(Work it harder, make it better)
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
I need you right now
(More than ever, hour after hour, work)
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 Pastelle, on my Bape shit
Act like you can't tell who made this
New Gospel, homie, take six and take this, haters

If you made plans or not
If God put me in your plans or not
I'm trippin', this drink got me sayin' 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 trippin', 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)

The lyrics to Kanye West's song "Stronger" are about the need to work hard and push through obstacles in order to become stronger, better, faster, and more successful. In the first verse, Kanye sings about how he has been waiting for someone, possibly a romantic interest, and needs them to hurry up because he can't wait any longer. He acknowledges that he needs to be right in this situation because he can't afford to make any more mistakes. The chorus repeats the line "n-n-now that that don't kill me, can only make me stronger," emphasizing the idea that setbacks and difficulties can ultimately make someone stronger and more resilient.
In the second verse, Kanye raps about living a luxurious lifestyle and being respected for his talent and greatness. He also questions whether anyone still makes "real shit" in terms of art or fashion. The bridge of the song is a repeated refrain about working harder and faster, with the suggestion that "work is never over." The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the lyrics "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," suggesting that Kanye has been persistent in pursuing his goals and success.
