The second song on Coloring Book to share the title “Blessings”, “Blessings (Reprise)” finds Chance reminiscing on his rise to success, his relationship with fellow Chicagoan and mentor Kanye West, his status as the people’s champ – and how he has God to thank for all of it.
Instead of rapping, Cha...
[Intro: Chance the Rapper]
Oh, I-I, I-I, I, I-I, I-I-I-I
[Verse: Chance The Rapper]
I speak of promised lands
Soil as soft as mama's hands
Running water standing still
Endless fields of daffodils and chamomile
Rice under black beans
Walked into Apple with cracked screens
And told prophetic stories of freedom
Found warmth in a Black queen for when I get cold like Nat King
I'm doing the dad thing
I speak of wondrous, unfamiliar lessons from childhood
Make you remember how to smile good
I'm pre-currency, post-language, anti-label, pro-famous
I'm Broadway Joe Namath
Kanye's best prodigy
He ain't signed me, but he proud of me
I got some ideas that you gotta see
Make a vid with shorty and they ship it like the Odyssey
They never seen a rapper practice modesty
I never practice, I only perform
I don't even warn, I don't eat it warm, I won't be reborn
I speak to God in public
I speak to God in public, He keep my rhymes in couplets
He think the new shit jam, I think we mutual fans
I used to dance to Michael, I used to dance in high school
I used to pass out music, I still pass out music
The people's champ must be everything the people can't be
I'm getting artsy-fartsy, house full of some Hebru Brantleys
You must've missed the come-up, I must be all I can be
Call me Mister Mufasa, I had to master stampedes
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
I made it through, made it through, made it through
And everything I gave to you, I gave to you, I gave to you
You got it, you got it, you got it, it's coming (It's coming, coming, coming)
So are you ready? (Are you ready?)
[Refrain: Ty Dolla $ign, BJ The Chicago Kid, Anderson .Paak, Raury, Nico Segal, Lolah Brown & Chance The Rapper]
Are you ready for your blessings? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready (Are you ready?) for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready (Are you ready?) for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready (Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo) for your miracle? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready (Are you ready?) for your blessings? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready for your miracle? (Aw, yeah)
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready for your miracle?
Are you ready for your blessings?
Are you ready for your miracle?
[Outro: HaHa Davis]
You ready, big fella?

We did this at Conway Studios in LA. I did a lot of stuff for Coloring Book that didn’t end up making it. The only thing that made it was [“Blessings (Reprise)”]. I made that on the spot with them because [Chance] told me what his inspiration was, which was the Fred Hammond song “Let the Praise Begi...
