Father Stretch My Hands, released in two parts as Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1, and Pt. 2, is the second and third track on Kanye West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016). "Pt. 1" features vocals from Kid Cudi and Kelly Price, while "Pt. 2" features vocals from Desiigner and Caroline Shaw.[1][2][3][4]

Both parts of the song sample "Father I Stretch My Hands" by T. L. Barrett, while "Pt. 2" by itself samples Desiigner's hit song "Panda" and a sound clip from the 1991 video game Street Fighter II.[5][6] The lyrics in "Pt. 1" are mostly about models, while "Pt. 2" is more centered around confessions and Ye's personal life.[1]

The song is considered by many to be one of Kanye's biggest hits, particularly from The Life of Pablo. The track is known for its energetic beginning part with Metro Boomin's producer tag kicking off Kid Cudi's first chorus. A video for the song is tacked at the end of the music video for "Famous."[7] A reinterpretation of the song with clean lyrics was released as "Father Stretch" by the Sunday Service Choir in their debut album Jesus Is Born (2019).[1]
