Nana
Action Bronson Chance the Rapper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Introducin' Chance the Ruthless
Trip 'shrooms and lucy
Dreams is lucid
Loosely based on music
Swallow my mucus
Hope your pussy get herpes and yo' ass get lupus
Deuces Douches, deuce deuce I'll shoot ya (BANG)
Shoes might boot cha and a suit might suit cha
They be on bullshit but they really don't do shit
They use of illusion could confuse Confucius
Nasty, ashy, cigarette ashing, 'til my voice get raspy
Last week suspended
Last night kissed Va$htie
Parleyed with Ashley
Always in the hallway, so I never been classy
(Ha ha ha) Shut up

Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
(Igh, igh, igh, igh!)

Acid acid, get it? Acid
Melts through plastic, I spit fired
Pad my palette, talkin' paper
If this was work, I'd get higher
Pardon my mishaps, burp and get murdered
Fart and get bitch-slapped, like bourbon mixed with jack
Lickety-split, Look it! He slipped on a shell
From peelin' banana splits back
Give me my Kit-Kat
Don't break me off shit, batch, fack is you mean bitch?
Zan with that lean bitch, zan with that lean bitch
Zen with that chakra
I eat it like Idi Amin, Ya Kna Wha Mean
Hit me back when that mean shit

Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
(Igh, igh, igh, igh!)

Introducin', It's Bronsonlino
With my hair slicked back, I look like Rick Pitino
3 Japanese dykes in my El Camino
Lettin' trees blow, oh
I rep the East Coast, I got a team of hoes like Pat Summit
I look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a black hummer (get to the chopper)
I splash summer like a fast brother
With a number on his back, ain't no fumblin', in fact, I'm
Back, acid in my hat
Shoot then pass the gat, it's at the bottom of the river in a plastic bag
My new shorty got a gymnastic back
87 emerald green on a classic jag
She had the cleft palate, I ordered chef's salad
She had the club foot, with that little arm
I couldn't help but laugh, she ordered Chicken Parm
I had the full Bulls warm-up with the Pippens on

Suck my motherfucking dick, it's the young Randy Velarde




Queens, baby
Blow me

Overall Meaning

Action Bronson's verse starts with him talking about doing acid, leading to plastic melting through acid, symbolizing the power of his rhymes. He speaks about going higher if this is considered work and asking for his Kit Kat, not to be broken off into a mere batch.


In the second part of Action Bronson's verse, he talks about his appearance, looking slick with his hair back, resembling Rick Pitino, and having three Japanese women with him. He mentions being passionate about the East Coast and having a team of women at his disposal. He keeps up his smooth appearance by referencing Arnold Schwarzenegger in his black Hummer, and his summer is always considered a blast as if running after a ballgame.

I love this song so much, the whole album is literally such a prize possession to me. Every time I hear this song all I can think about is how high Chance and Action must have been recording this 😂

@geezushasrisen

Bronson's verse on here is overlooked a lot. His wordplay and flow went perfect on this beat.

This whole mixtape brings me back to a special time of my life... in high school, really delving deep into new artists like Chance, starting my psychedelic journey with shrooms and LSD. Great memories, and everytime I hear songs off Acid Rap it brings me right back. Life is crazy bro.

@tetrahydro7353

Nigel Moye same here bro
