Chance The Rapper - Israel (Sparring) lyrics
rate meFeat. Noname Gypsy
(Verse)
Sparrin is trainin
Chain snatchin the slaves
But a rap song is a match in a cave
Dim lit, wet wick, wicked rappin its way
Drunk off of light, lies, laughin
Claimin asylum while shinin in shade
I can't stay silent, I go violent when my violets is gray
And my roses is black
Fuck the pharaohs and pharisees, Moses is back
I don't need to see a Sphinx to know they noses was black
I don't know one temptation that had Otis' back
Sparrin is trainin this a jumping jack
I'm the scariest jack in the pumpkin patch
Float like my jumper wet, stin like a bumblebee
I swing like a lumber jack, go back when I'm up at bat
They tried to label me a non-rapper
I'm an independent contractor
Card cracker, sparrin is trainin without the trainin wheels
You made it, you made it, you made it, yea, you made a deal
You played it straight, hated, graduated, waited, waited
You still a waiter still
Mice will always find out ways to steal
Picture me, fifth of Hennessy and the swisher sweet
Fake identity, 'till a plug named Trinity shoot me
"Wake up, wake up" like remember me?
Said one plus one make 3, and you fine to see
You ain't as grown as you finna be
You got them young nigga tendencies
(Verse)
Sentimental energy
I let the light in beside him, I stand like angel
Sparrin is trainin for an apathetic halo
Apologetic, non religious, consequential fable
Like good is good, the love in me is goodly or godly
But Bible say mistakes is necessary
So I Mississippi monologue to granny house
My soloist is sold out to attentive God
Cornbread on my table when I say my prayers
On airs, to stairs where shadiness is time to rest or manifest
Sparrin is trainin, I know they think me bumblebee
Afro Americano Sunny D
But bet I sting, no die
Sparrin is trainin
Jacob wrestled with God, in the desert 'till he broke him
And he blessed him and he rescued his heart
I struggle with love, I juggle my loves
I cuddle and coddle, ship wreckin' bottle, I huddle in hugs
Sparrin is training bra, Ramses watchin rainin frogs
Jigga watchin Damon, Damon watchin Wayans Bros
A tandem unicycle with two pilots in different maps
You givin back?
(I'm givin back)
Tit for tat
(Verse)
Synagogue and bottle caps
A body in the underpass says, where's my Jesus?
Pledge allegiance to the money now
We running down to kiddie parks where darker kids be casualty
Like come with me, to the museum
Excuse em, they know of what they do
(Verse)
Sparrin is trainin, don't let Denzel Trainin Day you
Sensei could catch a fade too
We be on that elegant, hela melanin
Barely, barely, since the crayons and jellybeans
(Outro)
And now you know Noname ain't never for none
(Ay yo, you know Chano ain't never for none)
And now you know Noname ain't never for none
(Ay yo, you know Chano ain't never for none)
Ah, and you don't stop
