Angels (Chance The Rapper Remix)

[Verse]
When I was a child, the demons came at night to prey on me
Oh, I used to pray, but there's no one there to save me
The man who taught me faith was the one who raped a baby
I tried to get away but it's our father who enslaved me

[Hook]
It don't keep you stable
Nothing but a fable
Oh, I know it's painful!
But there's no such thing as Angels
Take that off the table
You got the right to say "no"
I don't say this hateful
But there's no such thing as Angels
It don't keep you stable
Nothing but a fable
Oh, I know it's painful!
But there's no such thing as Angels
Take that off the table
You got the right to say "no"
I don't say this hateful
But there's no such thing as Angels

[Bridge]
I'm sorry it's you on your own
There's no guardian angels to save you
I don't want you to lose your hope
Let that truth motivate you!

[Verse]
I know that it's comforting!
To have a savior to believe in
But you can do much better than a feather
Out the leatherback of the middle ages, ay
All I'm here to preach, take control of your destiny
I don't want to hear excuses for why you ain't meant to be
Every choice you make is a measure of your empathy
So don't you fuck me over and then blame it on your deity
When I was a child, the demons came at night to prey on me
Oh, I used to pray, but there's no one there to save me
The man who taught me faith was the one who raped a baby
I tried to get away but it's our Father who enslaved me

[Hook]
It don't keep you stable
Nothing but a fable
Oh, I know it's painful!
But there's no such thing as Angels
Take that off the table
You got the right to say "no"
I don't say this hateful
But there's no such thing as Angels
It don't keep you stable
Nothing but a fable
Oh, I know it's painful!
But there's no such thing as Angels
Take that off the table
You got the right to say "no"
I don't say this hateful
But there's no such thing as Angels

[Outro]
And I don't say that just to lecture y'all or nothing
I'm just like...
I wish someone had told me there weren't angels out there
Like, there's no guardians keeping an eye out for me!
I had to save myself from all the bullshit I went through
Na'mean?
Like, I would've gotten out of a lot of bad situations a lot faster if I had known that, so I'm just telling y'all
