The True Meaning Behind 24 By Kanye West

Kanye West's "24" marks a continued commitment of the rapper's to bring God into his music. West collaborates with the Sunday Service Choir and they kick off the song with: "Dear God, make it alright / Only You can make it alright / Dear Lord, make it alright / Nothing else ever feels right," per Genius.

West then begins, with a message of renewal and resurrection. "God loves you / Love when He choose your steps / Gotta make it right 'fore you left / Gotta make it right before you— / Everybody wanna feel likе / Everything gon' be right/ New mе over the old me / Let it out, let it all out," he raps.

There's a sense of an individual being a work-in-progress in "24" under God's supervising hand. West and the Sunday Service Choir sing together: "Yeah, know you're alive and God's not finished / Know you're alive and God's not finished / I know you're alive, God's not finished / I know you're alive and God's not—." The song cuts here to sing about the devil as a lie. While "24" is essentially hopeful, there's a panicked sound at moments throughout the song.
