Nana
"Chance The Rapper" Lyrics

Introducin' Chance the Ruthless
Introducing Chance as a fearless artist who doesn't shy away from controversial topics

Trip 'shrooms and lucy
Using psychedelic drugs to explore altered states of consciousness

Dreams is lucid
Dreaming in a way that is vivid, clear, and easily remembered

Loosely based on music
Drawing inspiration from various musical genres and styles to create a unique sound

Swallow my mucus
A reference to the unpleasant physical effects of drug use and partying

Hope your pussy get herpes and yo' ass get lupus
A vulgar insult directed at someone, calling for them to suffer from sexually-transmitted diseases and autoimmune disorders

Deuces Douches, deuce deuce I'll shoot ya (BANG)
Threatening to use violence against those who act in a disrespectful or threatening manner

Shoes might boot cha and a suit might suit cha
The right clothing can change a person's appearance and demeanor

They be on bullshit but they really don't do shit
People who talk a lot but don't follow through on their promises or boasts

They use of illusion could confuse Confucius
People who deceive and manipulate others with clever tricks and lies

Nasty, ashy, cigarette ashing, 'til my voice get raspy
The physical toll of partying and drug use on the body

Last week suspended
Getting in trouble or facing consequences for one's actions

Last night kissed Va$htie
Having a romantic encounter with someone

Parleyed with Ashley
Hanging out or socializing with friends

Always in the hallway, so I never been classy
Having a reputation for partying, being wild, and not conforming to traditional standards of etiquette

(Ha ha ha) Shut up
Playful and dismissive response to someone who is being annoying or trying to provoke a reaction

Acid acid, get it? Acid
Referencing drug use, specifically LSD (a.k.a. acid)

Melts through plastic, I spit fired
The intensity and power of Chance's lyrics and delivery

Pad my palette, talkin' paper
Using creative expression (music) to cope with the stresses and challenges of life

If this was work, I'd get higher
Preferring creative expression over traditional forms of employment or productivity

Pardon my mishaps, burp and get murdered
Asking for forgiveness for inappropriate behavior, while still being unapologetic and unconventional

Fart and get bitch-slapped, like bourbon mixed with jack
Being vulgar and violent in the face of disrespect or provocation

Lickety-split, Look it! He slipped on a shell
Using wordplay and humor to entertain and challenge listeners

From peelin' banana splits back
A reference to enjoying the pleasures of life, both physical and sensory

Give me my Kit-Kat
Being assertive and asking for what one wants

Don't break me off shit, batch, fack is you mean bitch?
Demanding respect and refusing to be taken advantage of or disrespected

Zan with that lean bitch, zan with that lean bitch
Reference to drug use and addiction

Zen with that chakra
Maintaining balance and harmony in one's life through spiritual practices

I eat it like Idi Amin, Ya Kna Wha Mean
Making vulgar and violent sexual references to shock and entertain listeners

Hit me back when that mean shit
Challenging others to match his level of intensity and willingness to push boundaries

It’s Bronsonlino
Introducing Action Bronson as a featured artist

With my hair slicked back, I look like Rick Pitino
Reference to looking cool and confident

3 Japanese dykes in my El Camino
Boasting about sexual conquests and exotic experiences

Lettin' trees blow, oh
Smoking marijuana and enjoying the high

I rep the East Coast, I got a team of hoes like Pat Summit
Praising the East Coast hip-hop scene and boasting about sexual conquests

I look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a black hummer (get to the chopper)
Making fun of himself and his appearance while still sounding confident and cool

I splash summer like a fast brother
Enjoying life and living it to the fullest

With a number on his back, ain’t no fumblin', in fact, I’m
Reference to being skilled and confident, with the ability to perform under pressure

Back, acid in my hat
Reference to drug use and its effects

Shoot then pass the gat, it's at the bottom of the river in a plastic bag
Alluding to criminal activities and violence

My new shorty got a gymnastic back
Boasting about his sexual conquests and the physical attributes of his partner

87 emerald green on a classic jag
Boasting about his material possessions and luxury lifestyle

She had the cleft palate, I ordered chef’s salad
Making fun of someone's physical disability while still enjoying fine dining

She had the club foot, with that little arm
Making fun of someone's physical disability to be entertaining or provocative

I couldn’t help but laugh, she ordered Chicken Parm
Being entertained by the quirks and eccentricities of others, even if they are seen as weird or unconventional

I had the full Bulls warm-up with the Pippens on
Boasting about owning high-end sports attire and gear

Suck my motherfucking dick, it's the young Randy Velarde
Using vulgar language and insults to assert dominance and control over others

Queens, baby
Shouting out his hometown and pride in his roots

Blow me
Dismissing someone, being vulgar and confrontational
