Chance The Rapper - The Writer Lyrics
[Intro:]
Niggas try to come at me and shit like
On some like, I only write slow songs
And I only write...church and
How many of y'all are fucking with me with a pen, period?
[Verse 1:]
I'm a writer, probably as good as Elton John
But whats writing good for if it ain't helping moms?
I'm tryna feed Japan while seeing sights of Lebanon
And wiping away tears of girls that's getting felted on
I'm tryna get my felt pen on but the block is hot
My hands is questioning if I'm bach or not
If I'm 2Pac or nonexistent to these juggernauts
But I'm a architect an astronaut an argonaut
So hey, you, get off my couch
But I'm a writer you can quote it out loud
A false poet get my dough and I'm out
But here's an eighth of shrooms for your earlobe
A little rap wrapped in cigarillo
A little bit of Wu-Tang, mixed with some Henry David Thoreau
A little ponder theory you can ponder on your pillow
But this is for the day that your dad dies
Puffin' some reason all you hearing is sad sighs
You searchin' for nostalgia but sad and you can't cry
So you check your iPod in search for some bad vibes
From that rap guy, who raps over sad vibes
I wrote it in an hour dawg, don't know what your dads like
He probably was a great dad, he's probably in paradise
You want deeply in heartbreak and sadly I can't write, nothing
This is for those who wrote suicide notes
And all the hipster girls that was super fly dope
You looking at her nose what you do besides coke
You looking at her palms what you do besides dope
Nothing, life is but a supersized note
I open up my mind like suicide door
And grab a pimp cane and a superfly coat
Have they bobbing they heads to something stupid I wrote I hope

Chance The Rapper The Writer Comments
Imagine going from a song like this to the fucking Big day lmfaoooooo
A whole ASAP Rocky vibe,,, straight 🔥
sounds like a Larry Fisherman beat 🙏🏾
7th grade ……...
anyone here in 2019?
show some love <3 https://soundcloud.com/user-280409539/cold-summer
I know this is apollo brown, but does anyone know which exact beat ?! or know where I can find the instrumental ? I cant find it for shit
The intro is the original 8D music
2018♥️??
https://youtu.be/HywkTCYj6Ww
This mixes well with depression and emotional turmoil
Yo where can I buy that sweater
The last verse was crazy - talking about looking through your iPod looking for some same vibes
This gave me chills
This beat is hard. Instrumental ????
no one understood this song is from the perspective of a frustrated writer who dislikes the false weight people give to his lyrics simply because its "that rap guy who raps over sad vibes". I respect all of your feelings but you're kind of justifying his artistic frustration by only reading into the song what resonates with you.
Imaigine Chance, Kid Cudi & Kanye West in 1 song!
This song is very eminem esk
Listening to the intro with headphones got me fucked up
Can we talk about the fall off of quality Music from chance the rapper from surf to coloring book it's a completely different guy
Fuck man a beat can bring you right back
this is honestly one of the best apollo brown beats i've heard
fuckkkkkkkkk i forgot about this song
It’s 2018 and this shit gets me everytine
Why did the instrumental get taken down
Wow, this has to be one of Chance's best lyrically! Fantastic world play and alliteration for days!
Why am i just hearing this shit?!
This helped me sm and let out sm stress with my tears thanks chance ♥️
“Wipin away tears of the girls thats gettin felted on” made me cry
Love this track
In the beginning this song fucks with my ears
His old style is oozing Eminem flow
Love that method man reference in that first verse
His voice kinda sounded like slim shady when he did "my name is" or "stan"
My dad is still alive but has cancer, my mom died of cancer. That really hits me when he says the line "this is for the day that your dad dies..."
The first time I heard this song I started bobbing my head so, at the end, when he said, "have 'em bobbin' they heads to some' stupid I wrote, I hope" I spontaneously combusted.
Love this
Pretty sure I went deaf at the beginning
The stereo😍
Man it's been a good minute since I last heard this. Thanks!
What's the Apollo Brown beat?
was anyone else trippen or did i hear nosie in the beginnig comeing from left then the right and so on?
Am I the only one that's getting Eminem vibes?
Okay...guess I am...
What are juggernauts???
chance got me in tears..
i feel like he gets some lyrical inspiration from eminem, i can feel it in his words
it sounds dope with headphones
the beginning fucked with my ears heavy
this sounds something like Eminem would do
kill ass spit chance
This sounds like 10 days chance. I miss that. His best project to me hands down
but this is for the day that your dad dies//but for some reasons all you haring is sad sighs
Is it just me or is this chance's most underrated song? It's fucking beautiful
Listen with headphones
This is one of my favorite Chance songs and it wasn't even released.
The instrumental is Apollo Brown - God's Creation
"The crack in his voice at "I hope" is so much more powerful now that he's a star.
You did it Chano.
i really love this beat
anybody know any other songs or instrumentals like this one?
This is personally my favorite chance song
One cannot listen to this song without earbuds
probably one of the most underrated chance the rapper songs
Who still listen in 2017

Does Chance the Rapper know that Elton John didnt write most of his songs?! or am I misinterpreting the lyrics. Love this Apollo Brown beat.
Elton John also does write music

@FG "have them bobbin they heads to something stupid i wrote, i hope"
