Over a production handled by Murda Beatz, Chance the Rapper and TisaKorean detail their lavish lifestyles, reflect on their past, and make food puns galore.
It’s currently unknown which project “GRoCERIES” could land on, as the cover for the song poses a move away from the pattern and aesthetics shared by all the previous singles released by Chance in 2018.

The lyrics to Chance the Rapper’s “GRoCERIES” talk about a variety of subjects, from relationships to personal experiences from childhood. The song starts with Chance admiring a girl who he describes as “tender like a strip” and who came in with “drip”. He also mentions how she and her friends came to the show, making him feel a bit nervous. However, he then asks if she can do things as simply as lemonade, perhaps referencing how he wants things to flow smoothly between them.
The chorus of the song talks about how Chance used to be able to carry all the groceries in one trip, comparing it to how simply he can drink Minute Maid lemonade. The line “stiff arm a jit to get my lip balm” may refer to how he overcomes obstacles to get what he wants. Later on in the song, Chance mentions how he used to eat dinner with his aunts, how sugar was kept near the ants, and how he used to make Kool-Aid.
