Chance The Rapper Lyrics
"Child of God"

Ah
Just do your thing, child
Just do your thing, child
Do your thing

Truth be told, I got the ball on a string
Carried the weight of the world
But it came with some handles
I drag it to the basket
Moses with the passage
Safely Lord God, please make an example
I try to break shackles
Now they ankles in shambles
I can't expect them to be grateful and thankful
They thought I had a manual like Hansel
Leave your plans in man's hands and it gets manhandled
Dancin' in the street
But I didn't panhandle
When I finally drop, make a pamphlet
Sell tickets, put that shit on FanDuel
OnlyFans and Fandango
Give me your ear like Van Gogh and it's candlewick
I mean, I mean, it's lit like a candlestick
When I'm fatigued like a camo fit
A rich man, the size of the needle that the camel fits
Walkin' to Jesus with my sandals wet

This world would make you second guess your first mind
Remember when it was your first day, the first time?
It couldn't have come at a worse place or worse time
And you remember that little voice with that rehearsed line
Just repeatin'

Do your thing, child (do your thing, child)
Do your thing (that shit hit, haha)
Just do your thing, child (do your thing child, oh jeez)
Do your thing (do your thing child, do your thing)

At every corner store, bodega, delicatessen
Stands a big head kid learning delicate lessons
Roasted for they clothes
Or they emotions or they roaches
Bullied by they friends, or they mamas, or they coaches
Half size, chastised, dolls with glass eyes
Talked down, tossed down, the world just pass by
Grow up to be saviors, surgeons, rabbis
The world should've capsized when God got baptized
The boat don't sink, the show don't stop
The weapons form, the load don't drop
The boat gon' rock, the foe's gon' plot
The rolls don't switch, the photo crop
The motto is "the more those hate, the more doors prop open"
The prince of Heaven was tempted
Told that He wasn't who He was
And they meant it
Never was there a path better cemented
So what they gon' say when
You at the Olympics or tryna attempt?

Remember when it was your first day, the first time?
Couldn't have come at a worse place or worse time
And you remember that little voice with that rehearsed line
Repeatin', it was sayin' (do your thing child, do your thing)

Do your thing (do your thing child, do your thing)
Just do your thing, child (do your thing child, do your thing)
Do your thing (do your thing child, do your thing, child of God)
Just do your thing, child
Just do your thing, child
Do your thing (power of God)
Do your thing, child (do your thing child, do your thing)
Do your thing (do your thing child, do your thing)
Just do your thing, child (do your thing child, do your thing)
Just do your thing (do your thing child, do your thing)

This world would make you second guess your first mind (ooh)
Remember when it was your first day, the first time? (ooh)
It couldn't have come at a worse place or worse time (ooh)
And you remember that low voice with that rehearsed line (ooh)
Just repeatin'

Do your thing, child
Do your thing (that shit hit, haha)
Just do your thing, child (do your thing child, jeez)
Do your thing (do your thing)

Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing

Child of God
