Father Stretch My Hands, pt. 3 (Original Version) 


Kanye West ft. Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, Desiigner 2016


This version of Father Stretch My Hands combines both of the official parts, along with an extended choir intro, and a reinstated Kendrick Lamar verse that was scrapped from the official album. I feel that the combination of all these elements together provide listeners with the fullest experience possible of Kanye's creation, and doesn't diminish it in any way. Each feature provides a new flow and interpretation of the melody, reattracting listeners attention's for the whole nine minutes.



Genre: Hip Hop / Rap

Particular lyrics

Everybody gon' say something

I'd be worried if they said nothing

Remind me where I know you from?


Sorry I ain't call you back, same problem my father had

All this time, all he had, all he had

And what he dreamed, all his cash

Market crashed, hurt him bad

People get divorced for that


Why I chose this song for this week

This song is the result of dozens of individuals including artists, producers, and choir members, coming together to create this behemoth of a song. Hundreds of hours of incredible efforts squeezed into nine minutes.
