[Chorus: Kanye West]
Up from the ashes, into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life
I could tell you, he could show you
God in Heaven, shinin' on you (Ooh, ooh)
Through your message, now I know you
I come to you empty, free of my pride (Ooh)

[Verse]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
He ain't goin'
He ain't there tonight
We ain't goin'
We ain't there tonight
Love keeps growin'
Your love keeps spillin' over
I come to you empty, free of my pride

[Chorus: Kanye West]
Up from the ashes, into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life
I could tell you, he could show you
God in Heaven, shinin' on you
Through your message, now I know you
I come to you empty, free of my pride (Ooh)

[Outro]
I come to you empty

Kanye West

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
