The song 65th and Ingleside is about Chance’s relationship with his child’s mother and fiancée.
He talks about when they used to live near 65th
and Ingleside, an intersection in Chicago on the East Side, and his then-girlfriend’s unreciprocated financial and emotional support at a time when he was...
65th & Ingleside Lyrics
[Chorus: Peter Cottontale]
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
So you know
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
So you know
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
[Verse 1]
I could spare a rib to get my baby back
I just wanna fall asleep where my baby at
So I don't wake up wondering where my baby at
I wonder if we'll make it back
I wonder "Can I pay her back, please"
65th and Ingleside
Way before Jamie got his jingles right
I was sleeping with you every single night
But I was still tryna act single right
65th and Ingleside
I was stacking chips like bingo night
I didn't have to pay for a single light
So I'ma make sure everything go right
[Chorus: Peter Cottontale]
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
So you know
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
[Verse 2]
Your sister owned the house we lived in
On the East Side that you rented
Little two flat, inexpensive
I didn't have a glove to pitch in
I didn't have a pot to piss in
Not to mention in Dro City
Not a lot of jobs with pensions
All my raps was 'bout suspension
Then one day Donald took me on tour
Young broke Chano ain't broke no more
Thought you wouldn't want me come and darken your doorstep
But I still haven't given you what's yours yet
65th and Ingleside
Moved downtown for a single life
None of my stars ever twinkled bright
'Til God decide to come bring you by
[Chorus: Peter Cottontale]
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
So you know
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
[Verse 3]
Where's the return on investment? My first A&R
That shit was played unless you would hit play in the car
We hit the Shell station, I tell you stay in the car
Back in the spot, don't put it in park
Leave that bitch running in case I come running
And skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, grab the gold SCAR
There it get late 'fore it's dark
Kensli couldn't play in the park
Now she could play in the stars
High rise, eye to eye with fireworks
So high your ears fire, they might've burst
Every time they buy a verse, I buy a purse
But you can't buy back time, that's just not how it works
Three jobs, you afforded the crib
Fuck child support, you supported the kid
A full rack a month, nothing short of my rib
So you first up, go in order of dibs
My big homie told me, "Nigga growth and development
Go and settle down, don't settle for settlement"
She got you closer to God than you two ever been
She moved over from Evanston, you moved over from Eggleston
First lady you knew, you can't marry her?
Got shit sonny, now you can't share?
New Dad step in, you can’t stare?
You knew the power in the woman that could lead you in prayer
On 65th and Ingleside
Feel like you remember every single lie
Truth is I just really need your finger size
So I can make sure that they make the ring so tight
[Chorus: Peter Cottontale]
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
So you know
There's a way, out of no way
Swear I know everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be okay

What inspired this song?
This song is inspired by me coming to terms with who I’m supposed to be and how I’m supposed to operate—first being able to identify my own areas of selfishness and where I’ve erred, and also understanding what I can do to right anything that I’ve wronged in the relationship with me and my daughter’...
How did Chance link up with Peter Cottontale?
Me and Peter met probably in 2011. We got asked to work on some project for Columbia that we never did, but we ended up making “Hey Ma” together on my 10 Day mix tape, and from that day on, he was my musical guide. Lido really made the beat. I know I’m listed as a producer. I don’t know how I got li...
How did Chance link up with Greg Landfair?
I first met Greg when he was in Kids These Days with Vic and Neko Segall. We clicked, quickly became very good friends, best friends, and we worked kind of closely when he was still in the band. When he left like a year and a half later, he came on tour with me, with the Social Experiment. Same thin...
How did Chance link up with Nate Fox?
Nate Fox I met at the South by Southwest after I met my daughter’s mother. We just clicked. He sent me a bunch of beats on a flash drive that he literally dropped off. It had the beats for “Favorite Song” and “Chain Smoker” and “Juice” and “Lost.” I ended up using all four of those. Originally Acid...
How did this song come together?
They brought it to me, and when I first heard it, the sample that’s on the hook is Peter singing. He did that with Lido. And when I first heard the hook, I thought it was saying “there’s a way out of nowhere,” and I just felt like that’s where I was in my relationship. I was kind of just floating in...
