The Man Who Has Everything
Chance The Rapper Lyrics

What to get the man who has everything?
The singer is wondering what to give as a gift to a man who already has everything materialistic.

Tryna fit myself into a schedule and a wedding ring
The singer is struggling to balance their personal life with their commitment to their loved one.

Tryna eat everything I was raised, it come across my plate then I better swing
The singer is trying to make the most of their opportunities and is determined to not let anything go to waste.

Tryna turn confederate flags into confetti strings
The artist is trying to make a political statement by turning a symbol of hate into a celebratory decoration.

I'm tryna back up my baby mama like Kevin Federline
The artist is trying to support their partner like how Kevin Federline supported Britney Spears during their relationship.

Heard they got some nice-ass houses out there in Beverly Never leave where I came from
The singer acknowledges the appeal of materialistic possessions but still values his roots and where he comes from.

I just need me some stockings and the chimney they could hang from Photos so my kids can find out where they got their names from Christmas cards so gorgeous other families wanna frame one
The singer reflects on the importance of Christmas traditions and cherishing memories with loved ones.

Real talk, I need a front yard, a backyard A side yard, a side yard, inside bar, a dry bar Nine cars and a garage, and it's on hella acres I'm tired of people visitin', takin' the elevator Well, we'll keep the elevator
The artist desires materialistic possessions like a huge estate, luxury cars, and plenty of land, but also recognizes the need for privacy and seclusion.

Love me forever, that's all I ask of you Love me forever, that's all I ask
The artist values love and seeks unconditional love from their loved ones.

Don't gifts get re-wrapped? That shit could get sticky like tree sap I gave you free raps, that shit sound like free facts Which is 'bout as common as free Blacks
The artist questions the value of materialistic gifts and believes that giving something that comes from the heart, like a rap, is more valuable than a physical item.

Stuck like freeze tag from one of these random police stops Look like the treetops soon as the breeze stops And once the debris drops, the streets 400 degrees hot Please, man, we needin' some freeze pops
The singer alludes to the systemic oppression faced by black individuals through random police stops and the resulting chaos affecting the community, and expresses the need for relief.

What in the world for the man who has everything? Man, West Chatham Park could use some better swings Used to be disheveled, I went and shoveled everything Tell Santa to show up to doors he never ring He never ring
The artist realizes that the true meaning of Christmas is not materialistic possessions, but doing good for others and helping the community, like fixing a local park and bringing joy to those who are often forgotten.

That baby is a genius Don't teach him 'bout Santa 'til you teach him 'bout Jesus Don't take him out the snow to try to take him on beaches I swear it's enough leisure in this world to get lost What's the point of gainin' chicken if you lose all the sauce?
The singer reflects on being a parent and prioritizes values and morals over materialistic possessions. They also acknowledge the potential dangers of too much luxury and the importance of maintaining humility.

Lost the cold hard cash, they said, "Damn, that boy soft" Same niggas lost their souls in a fuckin' coin toss I guess I cleaned up, Santa don't miss no names but I miss Fatimah It's been a minute since I've seen her
The singer recognizes that being materialistic can invite criticism and negativity from others but holds onto their values anyways. They also express missing someone they once knew.

Them the type of things I hate to bring up, just like the prenup That shit be see-through like John Cena, Aquafina But like the Christmas tape there's things that I gotta get clear Like my papa ask the same question every year "What to get for my boy who has everything?" I said, "I'll take anything but everything," you know?
The singer recognizes the awkwardness of discussing sensitive topics, like a prenup, and the need to clear things up like the Christmas tape. They also revisit the initial question of what to give as a gift to someone who has everything, and offers the solution that they will settle for anything and do not need everything materialistic to be happy.

Love me forever, that's all I ask of you Love me forever, that's all I ask of you Love me forever, that's all I ask of you Love me forever, that's all I ask of you
The artist reiterates the value they place on love and asks for it to be given to them unconditionally.
