Chance The Rapper Debuts A New Song 

It’s officially 2022 and here I’m still choosing to remain hopeful that this will become a full released track. 🥺

"Keep on tellin us we makin it up, the american dream may you never wake up" Powerful Chance

Anyone back after being bummed it wasn’t on the new album?

I was in the audience for this. They ended up recording it twice, and it was beautiful both times

not everyone has heard this song. but everyone who has, listened to it more than once.

The metaphors, biblical references, punch lines, and word choices are incredible. His pen game is next level.

I actually like the small mess ups and when Chance chokes up on his words a little. It makes this performance more natural and adds to the song instead of messing it up. The imperfections make it more perfect in a way.

It's 2019 and I'm still waiting for this to drop

“Have a dream and then never wake up” now that’s an Instagram caption

I never knew I needed a Chance x Daniel Caesar collab in my life. I want more.

It’s April 2020 there’s a global pandemic going on, and I’m still worried about when this song is gonna be released

This dude went says; "I really need a break, could really use a nap My daughter barely recognize me when I lose the hat You go so far, you hit a point where you can't Uber back The other day, I told a hummingbird he too relaxed" When you accent your rhymes at the end of your line but none of the words should ever rhyme but he forces them to with his tone. This man is Brilliant.

We need to protect Chance at all costs. Love you Daniel you're precious too.

Powerful.

you know it’s about to get real when Donnie reaches for that trumpet

Its February 2020 and this song still isn’t released.

" *i'm just gonna keep rappin'* *& y'all just keep clappin'* *& keep actin' like Flint got clean water* *& y'all don't got teen daughters* *& black friends & gay cousins* *y'all just don't say nothin'* *know that the day comin'* *knees bowed, tongues confessin'* *the last ones gettin' first dibs on blessings* " chance was speaking on some real shit . this is such a beautiful song. love the arrangement as well as the lighting .

2 of the most talented guys out there in the same song... wow

WHY DID HE NOT PUT THIS ON THE ALBUM LITERALLY TITLED "THE BIG DAY" THIS WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT OPENER/CLOSER

I feel Daniel Cesear is one of the many in my generation that has proved r&b is still alive. This collab with Chance had solidified the bond between Hip Hop & R & B / Soul. I see a lot of new generation hip hop heads saying Chance has gone soft. Guess y'all missing that essence of hip hop and our counterpart of r & b. A part of Hip Hop is POETRY. It's our men expressing themselves. We need that.

I love the authenticity and the beautiful imperfections of this performance, we just saw art being created people. Brilliant.

"You go so far, you hit a point where you can't Uber back The other day, I told a hummingbird he was too relaxed"

Hey Chance, I know you'll never see this but you kept me alive in 2016. Thanks man. Respect and keep on doing your thing.

They better send him that Grammy already

word play in this is incredible.

"The last ones gettin first dibs on blessin'" - chill bumps

When Daniel hit that "ready or not" I knew this song was the shit

This would easily be the best song on the album.

Speechless.

The 3rd Verse is everything. We love you Chance ✊🏾❤

It’s 2023 and I’m still waiting for this to drop.

When Chance said "The American dream may you never wake up" I was like 👏👏👏👏

I am am a 51 yr old woman and I am completely smitten with Chance! He brings tears of pride to my eyes...don't stop young man. The world needs you to keep articulating the nuances of our conditions...

LYRICS [VERSE 1] I get sad when I look at the stars They so pretty you can’t tell em apart You think they close but really we far And really they ain’t even that much closer to God Its much harder to sin naked I walked past apple trees and didn’t take it Thought about stone mattresses thin blankets Really long winter spent in a wind breaker I’m a temptation door knocker Down there on Lower Wacker I’m a… rich excuse for a father You just can’t tour a toddler She turning two, she don’t need diapers She just need a papa I really need a break Could really use a nap My daughter barely recognize me when I lose the hat You go so far you hit a point where you can’t Uber back The other day I told a hummingbird he too relaxed I did my worst, I did the work, I had to skip the label I go to church, they want a flick, I wanna flip the table I knew the worth before the birth when it was just a stable And now its just a fable And its just as fatal [PRE-CHORUS] First world problems that n****s make up Have a dream and then never wake up When so much turns to too much Have a dream and then never wake up [CHORUS] The day is on its way It couldn’t wait no more Here it comes (here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not) The day is on its way It couldn’t wait no more Here it comes (here it comes) Ready or not, here it comes [VERSE 2] I think my lil cousins want they cousin back The automatic quarterback that doesn’t rap They know I used to drive to Hammond for the roman candles Lied about coming back, the last straw that broke the camel It ain’t really fun to hang out with me no more We can’t go to River East and hang at the beach no more Its messed up I made it this way and my feet so sore But its all down hill from here, I could teach snowboards I miss my mom, I miss my time I miss my prime In high school I missed my prom I ditched my date, I missed my beat Kissed my teeth, kicked my feet Hooped and hollered Now I just sip my tea Sit my ass on my ass Send my tweet, fold my arms Twist my weed If I had heard the news I woulda know what he say But the recliner on my chair is like an emergency break You know [PRE-CHORUS] First world problems that n****s make up Have a dream and then never wake up When so much turns to too much Have a dream and then never wake up [CHORUS] The day is on its way It couldn’t wait no more Here it comes (here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not) The day is on its way It couldn’t wait no more Here it comes Ready or not, here it comes [VERSE 3] Three verses, hell yes I still ain’t get my Grammy’s in the mail yet I just want my momma happy like a toy sale And to stay connected to the world like a long ass voicemail I hear the seams snappin’, And I’m the team cap'in No more knee slappin or shoe shining Or shoe signing till the dream happens Im just gone keep rappin’ And y’all just keep clapping and keep happen Like Flint got clean water and y’all don’t got teen daughters And black friends and gay cousins Y’all just don’t say nothin Know that the day coming Knees bowed, tongues confessin’ The last ones getting first dibs on blessings [PRE-CHORUS] Now these the first world problems that n****s make up Keep on playin’, we gone shake this shit up Keep on telling’ us we makin’ it up The American dream, may you never wake up [CHORUS] The day is on its way It couldn’t wait no more Here it comes Ready or not (ready or not) Ready or not (ready or not) Today on its way it was my way another day No more, no more The day is on its way, I cannot wait its hear to stay No more, no more The day is on its way it couldn't wait, no more

This is what the Big Day could have been. I've been following Chano since 10 Day, and this shows hes the same amazing artist as when he was 16 and 18. He's capable of creating amazing art. It's so sad the debut album was so poor when this is what he is capable of

Anyone else thought this would be on TheBigDay?

Good Lord this was glorious. Chance and Daniel work so well together. Daniel deserves every bit of recognition he gets. He has one hell of a voice. Check out his album Freudian.

Man I love me some CHANCE

Words cannot describe how this song makes me feel.

It’s May 31st 2020, I’m here after the riots. Needed this today.

Surprisingly good track. Lyrically it felt real and introspective like something off Acid Rap, but musically it's still got that gospel feel to it like something of Coloring Book. Although knowing Chance, the live version will probably be waaaay different than the official release.

love you chance

We need this chance back.

THE WORLD NEEDS THIS TRACK RELEASED THIS QUARANTINE!

Chance changing the image of modern Christianity in America to something much more positive, much less judgmental, much more peaceful and more accepting one step at a time. I'm thankful for someone that remains grounded and thankful like this among all the distractions today.

This song is beyond deep. Especially with everything happening today

2019 and I still get my eyes all teary every time I hear this song :""

Maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

"my daughter barely recognize me when i lose the hat"

Wow. Chance is everything the rap game needs right now. The passion, the emotion, the introspective reflection… he's well on his way to hearing his name mentioned with some of the greatest of all time.

Kinda sad this song didn’t make it on his new owbum

Still not out.... favorite Chance song of all time and still have to RU-vid Music it.

this collab is godly. WHEN EVERYTHING WENT WHITE I SWEAR I THOUGHT "this is what you see at the gates of heaven" LMFAOO

The other day I told a humming bird he too relaxed. Chance' s work ethic is insane.

I need this on my ITunes playlist like yesterday

Bruh, this is gives me such heavy feelings of nostaligia, such a good song... truly wish it was recorded and released into a full track

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 no words

So fire

2023 and im still waiting for chano to drop this

Still waiting for Chance the rapper to release this 🥹

everyone here complaining he's not acid rap chance anymore, he's changed with everything he's dropped so far, been listening since 10 day and seeing how he develops every time makes me so proud and glad he's not just stagnating like so many in this industry

Amazing song AND production design.

who else is sad this isn’t on the new album

This has probably been pointed out before but the background lights get brighter and brighter with each Chance verse, signaling that the day is coming

I got the chills when he said, "They know I used to drive to Hammond for the Roman Candles." Hammond is a city in Indiana over the state line, if you didn't know. Everyone comes here to get their fireworks. It's just warming to know such a beautiful soul is from right around the way from me. That's the South Side of the Chi though. So much talent that is never seen. This man is truly a blessing to the city.

Back for my daily viewing, anyone else?

THREE VERSES HELL YES

2021. We need this song released 😭

Everyone complaining about him not being acid rap Chance but look what happen he is a father now...won Grammys and using his platform to spread a positive message and this is a honest song what more

this was so beautiful I wanna cry

Well he got his grammys. 😤

2024 and still one of my favorite chance songs

Who else has already listened over 15 times

Chance's pen game is so fucking sharp it's hard to believe the dude is only 24

He's tired and a bit overwhelmed from the Fame and the drastic change to the mention of his name. I like the honesty.

summer 2023 and still waiting for this to drop

Do you ever find yourself in an inexplicable feeling of sadness? Like, you didn't want to feel this way and you need sleep or you need to focus, but it found you anyway. Stephen and Chance here to pick me up. Stephen and Chance here to remind me that things will be ok. Thanks for this.

DAMN

Who’s here after Chance confirmed this will be on his new album?

every year i come back to see how this song wasn’t released yet 🌞

for those that don't know Daniel Caesar I encourage you to look at his other music. his shit is fireeeeeeeeeee bro I highly recommend it and you'll be seeing more of him after chance is promoting him.

NOW THIS IS RAP! --- RHYTHM.AND.POETRY --- Thank you Chance!

This would have been a perfect intro to the big day. It’s a blend of old chance and new chance and he literally talks about the day coming

The day comin. Knees bowin tongues confessin. The last ones gettin first dibs on blessins 💯💯💪🙌

ok but can we appreciate Daniel Caesar too?

Finally Daniel Caesar is getting some exposure !!

Did no one notice Third Story in the back? So much awesome in one place.

There's so much to love about this video. The color changes. The simplicity of the song and set. A beautiful song that Chance still hasn't been released. Daniel Cesar. Third Story. All so beautiful every time I watch it.

Beautiful music

When he says "alright the spirits moving"💙

This just gives me the chills. I come back to this all the time. I wonder if I will ever have enough of this...

I’ve been listening to this everyday for the last two weeks … 2023

Lord, make me bold to speak the truth the way this man does

I get sad when I look at the stars They so pretty you can’t tell em apart You think they close but really we far And really they ain’t even that much closer to God god damn

If he brought this type of energy as far as deeper meaning behind the lyrics, introspective etc, tone for the album it would’ve been received well.

WHY IS THIS STILL NOT ON APPLE MUSIC ??? I NEED THIS SONG 😫😫

My man chance is actually talking about things that are about to happen but he's still finding himself but props to my man

Always find my way back to this video, to hear this song ( especially since it’s the only place I can find it) and took me almost 3,4 viewings before I realized the performance goes through the night into sunrise and finally light as the day approaches and is finally there... beautiful

Thinking we should just mass tweet chance for him to drop this. It's still my favorite song when I feel like I need motivation.

It's amazing too hear him progress as a person through his music
