Kanye West & Ye – FATHER Lyrics : “FATHER” is a monumental and deeply personal centerpiece from Ye’s transformative 2026 album, BULLY, released on March 28, 2026. Featuring a high-octane collaboration with Travis Scott, the track serves as a “modern-meets-classic” exploration of legacy, protection, and the weight of patriarchal responsibility in the modern age.
Musical and Lyrical Architecture
Produced entirely by Kanye West, the song boasts a “high-fidelity” soundscape that blends distorted, industrial basslines with majestic, choir-led crescendos. Written by Ye and Travis Scott, the lyrics offer a “majestic and reflective” look into their roles as icons and parents, delivering a “dynamic and melodic” energy that has instantly dominated global charts. The synergy between Ye’s authoritative delivery and Travis’s signature atmospheric ad-libs makes this a “definitive milestone” for 2026 urban pop.
Visual Masterpiece
The music video for “FATHER” is a cinematic triumph, directed by Bianca Censori and produced by HAPPY PLACE. With choreography by Masha Cherezova and a “sleek and professional” aesthetic guided by Director of Photography Ayinde Anderson, the visual complements the song’s “rhythmic and aesthetic” intensity. From Renelou Pandora’s avant-garde wardrobe to Cody Fusina’s stark set decoration, every element reinforces the track’s status as a viral sensation and a cultural touchstone.
FATHER Lyrics
Give us love another day
And hear our prayers
Please, Lord, when, whenever we pray
Father, You’ve been, You’ve been good
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
You’ve been better to us
Than we’ve been to ourselves
Father
Know you wonder where the F we been (Mm, where you been?)
But I’m back to life like an Epi-Pen
And she still in the leopard skin
And I check me out, then check me in
See this coat, nigga?
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9th (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove up to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9th (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove up to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Father
‘Cause I look good, I smell good, I feel good (Yes)
And you sing good, and make love good
Know you wonderin’ where the F I been (F I been)
I been goin’ hard like a crack syringe (Crack syringe)
I been breaking bad, now I’m back again (Back again)
Gettin’ meal tickets, no raffling (Raffling)
You see these kicks, nigga?
Made checks off the right steps (Right steps)
More vision, these some Oakleys (Oakleys)
She used to be a lone star (Lone star)
Waking up to loose scenes (Loose scenes)
Bend it back for me (Back it up)
Back it, back it (Back it), bend it back for me (Back it up)
Back, back it, back it
Used to live up in the 7 (In the 7)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Always team Luther King Drive (King Drive)
Now it’s Malibu Beach (‘Bu Beach)
Used to be V Live (V Live)
Now I’m trapped at the Booby (Booby)
[Outro: Johnnie Frierson & Travis Scott]
Father (Yeah)
Help us now (Turn me up)
Father
(Damn, like I’ve been wanting to hear you, but damn, nigga, you can’t rob me)
