i miss this version on my spotify ngl EDIT: ITS BACK!!!

PUT THIS VERSION BACK ON THE ALBUM RN

Man this version is just so much better … that hook is just so innocent

This version is way better IMO, glad its still available

Appreciate this version while it’s here...

RIP To Kaycyys beautiful vocals on the hook...

I didn’t realize how much I loved this version until Kanye changed it.

KayCyy singing the chorus is so much better

the right version

this song. im bouta float

“You never realise the value of something until it's gone, hence why you should always appreciate the little things in life.” - RIP Spotify version

This version way better 🔥

Kanye removing KaCyy's part on this is just sad. It really made this song. His voice just really made the song as beautiful as it was. KaCyy did a lot of work on Donda just for a majority of it to be scrapped and thrown away. Now removing one of his only parts ...

“my life, it’s in his hands so I don’t stress I just pray and strategize”. His voice is perfect for that hook idk it just sounds so good 🥺

Kaycyy’s vocals completed this song. It was my favorite song on the album.

ironically, we have to keep listening to this version to keep his spirit alive

this will get even better overtime. his old albums have proven it already

The way Kanye recruits Griselda - a rap crew who primarily rap about the streets and luxurious life - on a song to reflect about faith & trials, without making them scale down their personalities is really dope. And KayCyy on the chorus is heavenly.

I’ll never understand Kanye man… why the hell did he drop KayCyy

KayCyy's vocals are the whole reason I put this on my playlist. We need this back.

This song is so underrated, everyone did their part

This album will be studied for years. The music literally makes me cry...

Lyrics [Intro: Kanye West & KayCyy] Ooh, ooh Keep my spirit alive Keep my spirit alive, alive [Chorus: Kanye West] More than anything You can take it all, but the Lord on my side Spirit won't die, die Oh, oh, my life Is in His hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize [Verse 1: Westside Gunn] Yo Flushed the work just in time and they raided, thank God (Thank God) Screamin' through the GT roof like ****, we done made it, thank God (Thank God) Hundred-round drum didn't jam when my shooter tried to spray it, thank God (Thank God) Couple thousand grams, got two thousand grands when we waited, thank God (Thank God) I was facin' fifteen and I beat it (And I beat it) Just spent about twenty up at Neimans (Up at Neimans) Did two hundred in a Demon (In a Demon, skrrt) I'm the illest **** and I mean it (And I mean it) My homie droppin' bodies for no reason (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom) Now his kids see him on the weekends (Ah) Got the baking soda for the remix (Remix) Millionaires on, I can see it [Chorus: Kanye West] More than anything You can take it all, but the Lord on my side Spirit won't die, die Oh, oh, my life Is in His hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize [Verse 2: Conway the Machine] Yeah, don't hate me, 'cause my heart is full of love No weapon formed against me 'cause I'm covered in the blood Layin' in the hospital when I got shot, fam Mama prayed for me, said she left it in God's hands, yeah So I'ma leave it in God's hands Everything I'm doin' now is God's plan Doctor said I wouldn't walk no more, now I stand Then I ran, here I am, Machine [Chorus: Kanye West] Keep my spirit alive, alive More than anything You can take it all, but the Lord on my side [Verse 3: Kanye West & Royce da 5'9"] Well, between a mix of bad schools with the fast food Bad had tools and a bad mood If you don't turn to a lil' Gotti, they gon' drain all the strength in your lil' body They turned me into a lil' Gotti, uh, yeah Not Wakanda but Wakanda is kinda like what we 'bout to make And who gon' make it? Kan', duh Who the squad? Donda Who the mom? Donda Who can see? Don, duh, get Don C Who needs practice? I don't do rehearsals And I don't do commercials, 'cause they too commercial Give it all to God and let Jesus reimburse you She said "You in the studio with who? I'ma hurt you" How I'm forty-two and you got a curfew? How nerves dictate how they gon' curve you? Quiet all the cordialness We walk in God's spiritual ordinance We know the Blacks, the orphans refused to be runaways Rebel, renegade, must stay paid [Chorus: Kanye West] More than anything You can take it all, but the Lord on my side Spirit won't die, die Oh, oh, my life Is in His hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize

Just here to cry over KayCyy being removed from this hook on streaming platforms 😭💔

The fact that Kanye is a popular rapper and is showing the word of God is beautiful . Amen

This version is definitely better

This album has made me cry a couple times now. Says a lot bc I’m very closed off when it comes to sad emotions but this shit hits me hard.

KayCyy killed the vocals and I honestly like it more than the new version. But Ye is someone tough to work with when it comes to making music, so there may be a reason for this change. Damn, I loved these vocals so much though. Not a major change, and I hope he doesn't change much anymore unless it's mixing.

Idk what Kanye is doing with the chorus but this chorus is what I'm listening to ...

The fact Kanye changed it to his voice instead of keeping KayCyy's made me sad as a Kanye fan, he is so good

I'm so pissed at Kanye for ruining the Spotify version

Ive cried to this entire album and im happy they added both versions of this song again ❤ i love this song

Whoever KayCyy is.. they killed it. This song slaps hard af and KayCyy’s chorus makes it imo

I know Drake has this album on repeat somewhere. He is inspired.

He shouldn’t have taken KayCyy off his hook is so unique

THIS IS THE ONLY VERSION. PUT KAYCYY BACK ON STREAMING

The earnestness in KayCyy's voice as he confesses his total dependance on God makes me so emotional.

I wonder why Kanye would take Kaycyy off his voice is literally meant for this song

KANYE JUST KILLED THIS SONG IM SORRY I LOVEED THIS VERSION MORE THAN THE NEWER ONE IM JUST GLAD THE INTERNET IS A THING CUZ YE... YOU KILLING ME WITH THESE PATCH NOTES.

i feel bad for kaycyy, he recorded multiple verses through out the album and none of them made it except this hook and kanye replaced it the second time lmao, now he's only on hurricane with those backing vocals

“The spirit wont die” probably the best verse and voice bro off the whole song wish it was longer with that verse

Griselda have been getting into the mainstream lately and I love it. Westside Gunn has a song with Travis on Utopia and now him and Conway both have a song with Ye. Still wish The Butcher was on here as well

I see we all love this version better. Peace and love to everyone tuned in… -2023

The intro alone takes me to a place of solitude & the energy to block all the ills of life & really think. Healing music 💯💯

This is not a commercial album, this is deeper than music,a masterpiece, Drake gonna have an extremely successful commercial album, but Ye decided to drop ART in your face,how can you measure talent... i definitely would have accepted the idea of Kanye not dropping this album, just a listening party, this is not for Spotify, this not for Apple music, this for you to have a vinyl at home 🏘️ with your whisky

Kaycyy representing the motherland on a divine level🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Words can’t describe how good this song is. That hook and the griselda verses go perfectly together

THE SUPERIOR VERSION. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM

“YOU CAN TAKE IT ALL BUT THE LORD ON MY SIDE” 🙏🏾

I give thanks to the lord for giving Kanye this craft to bless the world with!

Kanye is bringing me back to God. Thankful

Omg I love this version!! Me and my kids sing it when we feel down🤍🤍🤍🤍 bring it back please

This song hit different gives me strength to not relapse on my mistakes

Every single song on this album has me FLOATING in the name of the LORD

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back to my school. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

KayCyy's chorus >>>>>>>

The whole album is a masterpiece. Thank you Kanye, very cool!

This entire album is a great work of art

I'm so sad KayCyy got removed. He was the best part...

Westside gun really was smooth on this

KANYE IS THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME.

KayCyy‘s hook is so beautiful 🥺

So glad this version is back on the album!!

This KC ft waa soooo God, really not messing with the new kanye vocals

The album is a MASTERPIECE

love this - half way through the album

The version of this song on Jeen-Yuhs was FIREEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This version will be always the best

this is the OG. kaycyy you a Legend.

Rip KC :/ I love his chorus a lot better than Kanye singing it. I hope Kanye leaves this up

Maybe it's because i'm not used to it, but this version way better than the new one on spotify imo

Brings me to tears. Make me want to start praying.

when Conway says "don't hate me, 'cause my heart is full of love" i felt that, rlly an impactful sentence top 5 definitely

Why is this song so slept on smh..This gone age perfectly and I was here before 1 million views, a week after it dropped to say this..

this version is something else

KANYE BROTHER PLEASE IN GOD'S NAME BRING IT BACK I NEED IT

This album spirit won't die 🇿🇲🇳🇬

KayCyy has the voice of an angel

We don't deserve Kanye man. Thank you for bringing back KayCyy's heavenly voice ❤️❤️

Put this one back ye

one of the best on the album!!!

KayCyy's chorus sends shivers down my spine🖤

This is one of my favorite songs and when he removed this version I almost cried

So glad this version still alive 🙏🏾

“Don’t hate me cuz my heart is full of love…”

Keep my Spirit Alive & Come to Life will probably be overshadowed by Jail & Hurricane but real fans know that these 2 are the songs that are the true meaning of Artistical Perfection.

I am so upset this version is gone... Kaycyy carried this song...

Old version is fibnally back in the deluxe version, thank you Ye

All of the comments on this whole album are so positive, you can feel the spirit in here! I LOVE YOU GUYS, GOD BLESS YOU🙏

every song is a masterpiece

Thank you Kanye you helping me more than you know with your energy keeping my spirit alive thru these ruff times

Who’s here after Kaycyy announced that both versions will be on Donda Deluxe

29/08: Kanye West Jesus Lord 30/08: Uncle Noon Shimmy yo!

Song came on and immediately started getting emotional, and when that chorus hit I was tearing up. This song is the warm hug I needed man

I luv this version

Back again for this verison !!!

KayCyy is the entire reason i head back to this song a lot more than usual compared to other songs on this album. I dont get why it was removed for Kanye's rather mid vocals 🤦‍♂️

Truly, a masterpiece.

Yes..plz bring back old version!!!!

Kanye if you’re reading this you need to bring back this version of the song to all streaming services so badly.
