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
You don't know me stay the fuck out my mouth
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

    Imagine going from a song like this to the fucking Big day lmfaoooooo

  2. a.... s....

    A whole ASAP Rocky vibe,,, straight 🔥

  3. X.... T....

    sounds like a Larry Fisherman beat 🙏🏾

  4. P.... P....

  13. S.... L....

    The last verse was crazy - talking about looking through your iPod looking for some same vibes

  14. J.... G....

    This gave me chills

  15. P.... ....

    This beat is hard. Instrumental ????

  16. O.... D....

    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.

  17. J.... C....

    Imaigine Chance, Kid Cudi & Kanye West in 1 song!

  18. O.... ....

    This song is very eminem esk

  19. S.... T....

    Listening to the intro with headphones got me fucked up

  20. d.... ....

    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

  21. A.... G....

    His old style is oozing Eminem flow

  33. D.... B....

    Love that method man reference in that first verse

  34. w.... ....

    His voice kinda sounded like slim shady when he did "my name is" or "stan"

  35. A.... P....

    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..."

  36. S.... K....

    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.

  37. I.... ....

    Love this
