11 Uplifting Lyrics From Chance The Rapper’s ‘Coloring Book’
Chance The Rapper is adding a little more color to the world this week. Last night (May 12), the rapper dropped his highly anticipated new project, Coloring Book. After dropping new songs "Angels" with Saba, "Blessings" on late-night television and “No Problem” featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz (plus the leak of “Grown Ass Kid” with Mick Jenkins and Alex Wiley), fans finally got their hands on the 14-track effort.
Before Coloring Book debuted, the hype of its impending arrival caused a variety of reactions. Someone is attempted to sell a copy of Chance’s very first project on eBay. That purchase might do some damage to anyone's back account as the 5 Day Suspension tape is priced at $4,000.
At Starbucks, Chano received free promo after an employee wrote the Chicago rhymer’s upcoming Chance 3 project on the bottom of every cup. “Every latte, coffee, etc. that I made today had this on the bottom or side of it,” the employee wrote on Twitter, showing an image of "Chance 3" written on a cup. “Spread awareness.” Even a Jamba Juice employee said she would follow suit.
Once the project finally dropped on Apple Music, the list of features proved it was well worth the wait. Kanye West, Jeremih, Francis & The Lights, D.R.A.M.,Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Justin Bieber, Towkio, Knox Fortune, Future, T-Pain, Noname, Kirk Franklin, Jay Electronica and Chance's cousin Nicole all share their talents on Coloring Book, which also boasts production from The Social Experiment, Lido and Kaytranada, to name a few.
Coloring Book feels like the gospel album Kanye wanted to make. It's spiritual, replete with monstrous melodies filled with joy and jubilation plus poignant lyrics. "Blessing" was an excellent precursor as the entire project is filled with plenty of mood-shifting words that will turn any fan's day around. Check out the most uplifting lyrics from Coloring Book.
"All We Got"

"Summer Friends"
Chance The Rapper Featuring Jeremih & Francis & The Lights"Now I'm the same way, over time all the time, every night, hey/Ready my blessing, now I'm ready how I wait/Never let a friendship get in my way/Never let a blog get in my way/Make the whole song do whatever I say," Chance
"Blessings"
1. "I don't make songs for free, I make 'em for freedom/Don't believe in kings, believe in the Kingdom," Chance
2. "I know the difference in blessings and worldly possessions/Like my ex girl getting pregnant and her becoming my everything," Chance
"Mixtape"
Chance The Rapper Featuring Young Thug & Lil Yachty"I ain't felt like this since the third drought, third Carter drop/Told my momma third grade I'd be in the third Barbershop/And you know momma got real worried when she heard college drop/But now I call the shots," Chance
"Angel"
Chance The Rapper Featuring Saba"I got my city doing front flips/When every father, mayor, rapper jump ship/I guess that's why they call it where I stay/Clean up the streets, so my daughter can have somewhere to play/I'm the blueprint to a real man/Some of these niggas toss they tassel for a deal man/I ain't goin' to hell or to Hillman," Chance
"How Great"
Chance The Rapper Featuring Jay Electronica & My Cousin Nicole1. "Here, for I will speak noble things as they trusted me/Only righteous, I might just shrug at the skullduggery/I couldn't stand to see another rapper lose custody/Exalt, Exalt, glorify," Chance
2. "I was lost in the jungle like Simba after the death of Mufasa/No hog, no meerkat, hakuna matata by day/But I spent my night time fighting tears back/I prayed and prayed and left messages but never got no hear back, or so it seemed/A mustard seed was all I needed to sow a dream/I build the ark, gently, gently, rowed my boat down Noah's stream/Sometimes the path I took to reach my petty goals was so extreme/I was so far down in the mud couldn't even let my light shine/But she was always there when I needed to phone a friend or use a life line," Jay Electronica
"Finish Line / Drown"
Chance The Rapper Featuring T-Pain, Kirk Franklin, Eryn Allen Kane & Noname1. "Me and my girl plan to stay to the end/Hope there never come a day where we be better as friends," Chance
2. "Yes and I need you to/Jesus rescue me/Come on, I need you to/Take me to your mountain/Hallelujah/So someday Chicago will be free/Someday we'll all be free/Be free," Kirk Franklin
"Blessings (Reprise)"
"Found warmth in a Black queen for when I get cold/Like Nat King, I'm doing the dad thing/I speak of wondrous unfamiliar lessons from childhood/Make you remember how to smile good," Chance
