Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The lyrics to Chance the Rapper's "NaNa" are a flurry of nonsensical images and rhymes that showcase the rapper's ability to twist language to his whims. He starts by introducing himself as "Chance the Ruthless" and then talks about taking mushrooms and acid to have "lucid" dreams that are "loosely based on music." He then goes on a bizarre rant about hoping someone gets genital herpes and lupus, suggesting his thoughts have turned dark under the influence of the drugs. He raps about shooting people with a "deuce deuce," a small-caliber gun, and buying expensive shoes and suits. He concludes the first verse by saying that people who don't accomplish anything use illusions to confuse Confucius.
The chorus is a simple repetition of the phrase "na na na," which could be interpreted as a meaningless phrase that contrasts with the complex lyrics surrounding it. The second verse starts with Chance making a pun on the word "acid," which he uses to describe both the drug LSD and his ability to destroy things with his rhymes. He talks about being so good at rapping that he could do it for work, and he dismisses anyone who criticizes him by saying they'll get "murdered" if they try to stop him. He mentions slipping on a banana peel and then uses that image to demand a Kit-Kat candy bar. He ends the verse by saying he'll eat anything, even like Idi Amin, a brutal dictator who was known for cannibalism.
The final verse is performed by Action Bronson, who adopts a gruff, aggressive tone. He refers to himself as "Bronsonlino," a mash-up of his name and the movie director Quentin Tarantino's surname. He boasts about having three Japanese women in his car and letting "trees blow," suggesting they are smoking marijuana. He then talks about his love for the East Coast and his team of female companions. He compares himself to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former action movie star, and says he likes to drive fast cars. He mentions having a gun and using it to shoot someone before disposing of the evidence. He concludes the verse by talking about his love for a woman with a cleft palate and a club foot, suggesting he is not judgmental about appearances.

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 😂

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.
