His Brother and Fellow Griselda Records’ Artist, Conway the Machine, Takes a Similar Approach. for Instance He Harps Back to 2012 When He Was Shot in the Head. However, the Machine Is Not Focusing on the Permanent Damage He Suffered as a Result but Rather How He Feels His Mother’s Prayers, and God Actually Answering Those Prayers, Saved His Life. or Viewing His Disposition from a Different Angle, Conway Has Faith in God Because He Has Actually Been in a Situation Where He Feels His Life Was Saved via Divine Intervention.

Meanwhile, Whereas This Entire Piece May Have Been Kanye’s Idea, the First Half of His Verse Really Doesn’t Deal with Spiritual Matters. Instead the Main Vocalist Starts Off, Perhaps in Indirect Acknowledgement of the Nature of His Costars, by Seemingly Pointing to the Idea of Society Encouraging Young Men, Including Himself, to Adopt a Thug Mentality.
