Everybody
Chance Lyrics

Whats good good?
What is good in the world and in our lives?

And what's good evil?
What defines good and evil, and is there even such a clear distinction?

And what's good, gangstas?
What kind of good is associated with the gangsta culture and lifestyle?

And what's good, people?
What is the nature of humanity and what we consider to be good or bad behavior in it?

And whys God's phone die every time that I call on Him?
Why does it feel like God is not listening or answering when we reach out to Him?

If his son had a Twitter wonder if I would follow him
If Jesus was alive today, would people follow him as intensely as they do on social media?

Swallow them synonyms like cinnamon Cinnabon
Take in different words and synonyms as easily and effortlessly as eating a cinnamon roll

Keep all them sentiments down to a minimum
Limit emotional expressions and keep them minimal because of fear that it might become too much to handle

Studious Gluteus Maxim models is sending him
Attractive women are sending him nude photos regularly

Pics of they genitalia tallied up ten of em
He has received at least ten explicit pictures of women's private parts

I slurped too many pain-kills, down I'm off a lot
Having consumed multiple painkillers, he is high and disoriented

I got a lot off days but it ain't often that I'm off the clock
He has a lot of free time but rarely takes breaks

Ya Kna Wha Mean
You know what I mean

I got the Chicago Blues
He is feeling down and blue, reflecting the challenges of living in Chicago

We invented rock before the Stones got through
Chicago was producing rock before the famous British band, the Rolling Stones, became popular

We just aiming back cause the cops shot you
Aiming to strike back against the police force after incidents of shooting targeting black people

Buck buck bang bang, yelling 'Fuck Fox News!'
Making a reference to gunshots while expressing frustration towards conservative news media outlet, Fox News

Booyaka buckle up, mothafuck ops too
Get ready and brace yourselves, including the police

Ain't no knuckling up em young cause it just not cool
It is not cool to be violent or aggressive towards young people, as they have their own struggles to deal with

Nice to see you Father New Year
Greeting the New Year as if it were a person, with respect and hope for a better future

Middle finger Uncle Samuel
Showing disdain towards the government and authority

Shooting death with weighted dice
Life sometimes feels like a game of chance where losing and dying seem inevitable, despite efforts and precautions

And hitting stains on birthday candles
Experiencing setbacks and failures during otherwise celebratory occasions

I know somebody, somebody loves my ass
Feeling loved and supported by someone, who helps in overcoming personal struggles

Cause they help me beat my demons ass
This person has been instrumental in helping to overcome personal struggles and negative behaviors

Everybody's somebody's everything
Everyone has some value, meaning, and importance to someone, even if not recognized by everyone else

I know you right
I agree and understand the sentiment

Nobody's nothing
No one is completely or utterly without value, even if it seems that way.

I used to tell hoes I was dark light or off white
He used to explain his race as black, mixed, or light skinned, depending on the situation and who he was talking to

But I'd fight if a nigga said that I talk white
He would feel defensive and insulted if someone said he spoke like a white person even though he grew up in a black environment

And both my parents was black
Both his parents were black, despite his lighter skin or mixed appearance

But they saw it fit that I talk right
His parents taught him to speak properly, using appropriate grammar and pronunciation

With my drawers hid but
Keeping his underwear hidden or secret, possibly in reference to shame or embarrassment

My hard head stayed in the clouds like a lost kite
Despite being stubborn and lost in his own thoughts, he still felt aimless and directionless

But gravity had me up in a submission hold
Feeling stuck or trapped by the laws of physics and reality

Like I'm dancing with the Devil with two left feet and I'm pigeon toed
Feeling uncoordinated and awkward in life, like a dance with the devil where everything goes wrong

In two small point ballet shoes with a missing sole
Feeling like one's shoes don't fit properly and are inadequate or uncomfortable for the situation

And two missing toes
Feeling like there are significant parts of oneself that are absent or not functioning

But it's love like Cupid kissing a mistletoe
Despite all the struggles and shortcomings, there are still moments of love and joy in life

Like Cassius ducking the draft and now the fight is over
Referencing Muhammed Ali (born Cassius Clay) evading the Vietnam War draft and embracing his boxing career instead

The type to love from a distance not the type that told her
Preferring to love someone from afar rather than telling them directly, possibly out of fear of rejection or vulnerability

Spent three days on the rap, trash it and type it over
Putting a lot of effort and time into writing raps, but often throwing them away and starting over again

With babies on the block under arms like fighting odors
Having to deal with young kids on the streets, who can be bothersome and annoying like bad smells

Coppers and quotas
Dealing with police forces and their quotas for arresting people

Hold ya head like 2Pac had taught
Like Tupac Shakur's music and philosophy, reminding people to stay strong and hold their head up high despite adversity

Obviously they are on a come up
It is clear that some people and groups are trying to succeed and rise in their lives and careers

With better chances tobogganing in the fucking summer
Having better odds of succeeding at something difficult or unexpected, like sledding in the summer

Concoctions for the bad days and a condom for the good ones
Preparing for both good and bad times ahead, by being proactive in both health and happiness

All odds against we tryna get lucky
Despite facing tough challenges and obstacles, still hoping to get lucky and achieve success

Doper than Lucky
Being luckier or more successful than average, possibly due to hard work or good fortune

You're ending happy that's only a tugging
Achieving a happy ending or outcome will only come after much effort and struggle, like tugging on something to finally get it loose

Like Satan masturbating shit come hot
Dealing with the worst or most evil in the world, like Satan, can be unpleasant and burdensome

But y'all still love me ugh
Despite all the challenges and hardships, there are still people who care for and support him

How father time a deadbeat
Feeling like time goes by too quickly and never seems to be there when you need it

Maybe I'm adopted
Feeling out of place or not understanding one's own family or background

That'll explain why all of my shit been so timeless
Possibly an explanation for the enduring impact or popularity of his music and work

Nigga
Slang term used between black people in a friendly or familiar way

That's right
Affirmative response or agreement
