, Kanye illustrates his restless fight with the Devil while glorifying God's perfection. Here, Ye plays the sidelines and allows production savant, Timbaland, to run point on "Hands On." The Timbo-produced track is a sharp contrast from his bouncy, bombastic style. For "Hands On," the producer creates a mellow, airy beat for Ye to air out his grievances.
