Chance The Rapper - First World Problems Lyrics
[Chance The Rapper:]
I get sad when I look at the stars
They so pretty, you can't tell 'em apart
You think they close but really we far
And really, they ain't even that much closer to God
I walked past apple trees and didn't take it
Thought about stone mattresses, thin blankets
Really long winter spent in a windbreaker
I'm a temptation door knocker
Down there on Lower Wacker
I'm a rich excuse for a father
You just can't tour a toddler
She turnin' 2, she don't need diapers, she just need her papa
I really need a break, could really use a nap
My daughter barely recognize me when I lose the hat
The other day, I told a hummingbird he too relaxed
I did my worst, I did the work, I had to skip the label
I go to church, they want a flick, I want to flip the table
I knew the worth before the birth when it was just a stable
And now it's just a fable, and it's just as fatal
First world problems that niggas make up
Have a dream and then never wake up
When so much turns to too much
Have a dream and then never wake up
[Chance The Rapper (Daniel Caesar):]
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (here it comes)
Ready or not (ready or not)
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (here it comes)
Ready or not, here it comes
[Chance The Rapper:]
Here it comes
Alright
Spirit's working now
I think my little cousins want they cousin back
The automatic quarterback that doesn't rap
They know I used to drive to Hammond for the Roman candles
Lied about coming back, the last straw that broke the camel
It ain't really fun to hang out with me no more
We can't go to River East to hang at the beach no more
It's messed up, I made it this way, and my feet so sore
But it's all downhill from here, I could teach snowboards
I miss my mom, I miss my time, I miss my prime
In high school, I missed my prom, I ditched my date, I missed my beat
Kissed my teeth, kicked my feet, hooped and hollered
Now I just sip my tea, sit my ass on my ass, send my tweet
Fold my arms, twist my weed
If I hadn't heard the news, I would've known what he say
But the recliner on my chair is like an emergency brake, you know
First world problems that niggas make up
Have a dream and then never wake up
When so much turns to too much
Have a dream and then never wake up
[Chance The Rapper (Daniel Caesar):]
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (here it comes)
Ready or not (ready or not)
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
(Here it comes)
(Ready or not, here it comes)
[Chance The Rapper:]
Three verses, hell yes
I still ain't get my Grammys in the mail yet
I just want my mama happy like a toy sale
And to stay connected to the world like a long-ass voicemail
I hear the scene snappin', and I'm the team captain
No more knee slappin' or shoe shinin' or shoe signin' 'til the dream happens
I'm just gon' keep rappin'
And y'all just keep clappin' and keep actin'
Like Flint got clean water and y'all don't got teen daughters and black friends and gay cousins, y'all just gon' say nothin'
Know that the day comin'
Knees bowed, tongues confessin'
The last ones gettin' first dibs on blessings
Now these the first world problems that niggas make up
Keep on playin', we gon' shake this shit up
Keep on tellin' us we makin' it up
The American Dream, may you never wake up
[Chance The Rapper (Daniel Caesar):]
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
(Here it comes) ready or not, ready or not
(Ready or not) ready or not, ready or not
The day is on its way, it will not wait another day
No more, no more (it's on its way, way, yeah)
The day is on its way, I cannot wait, here it's to stay
No more, no more (it won't wait, yeah)
The day is on its way, it couldn't wait no more
Here it is

Chance The Rapper First World Problems Comments
Been listening to this on repeat since it came out. Man. Love the pauses, I think he says the most in those moments
2020 and it’s still a dream of mine for this to drop 😪
Its February 2020 and this song still isn’t released.
What’s the name of song?
This song makes me think that Big Day was supposed to be bad.
i really hope he put this on spotify :(
It’s 2020 and I’m still waiting for this to drop
2020 and I still can't believe Chance hasn't dropped this yet.
If he brought this type of energy as far as deeper meaning behind the lyrics, introspective etc, tone for the album it would’ve been received well.
This isn't Hip Hop it's more like poetry I appreciate the honesty though.💯👍✔️
We need this chance back.
Is this partly about the rapture?
Seriously. Does anybody know how they got that Black and White Lighting effect at the beginning???
i wish this is what the big day sounded like ,,,, that album was ass bruh
*unreleased crap* 😂
Still waiting for it to drop
This song is everything I wanted his album to be
Everyone liked this. Please release it
We neeeeed this on streams Chance, it's so incredibly beautiful.
Thinkin' Chance didn't put this on the album cuz Daniel went live saying some stuff people wanted to cancel him over 😔
Such a truly beautiful song, almost too damn amazing for a studio track, honestly. Maybe we're blessed it wasn't on the album
This the kinda chance I miss. He’s more of a poet than a rapper here and it’s incredible
Still waiting for this bop
Words cannot describe how this song makes me feel.
What this song called?
Yorke Jones fake struggle or black silver spoon child named Chance.
first world problems ft daniel caesar
This is the chance I remember from acid rap. Shows that when you got a talent it'll always be there, you just got work hard to find it again.
They must have used DHL to send him his Grammy, never on time.
I would love love love love love... and did i say love??? To get a studio version of this song with an extra feature from Noname. <3 this would be the best gift anyone could ever possible give!
i completely forgot about this song holy fuck when is this gonna drop my god
Hey Guys! I love music!
I wasn't ready for them to go to heaven at 4:20 like that
This would have been a perfect intro to the big day. It’s a blend of old chance and new chance and he literally talks about the day coming
I've listened to this soooo many times. Why didn't he release it?? 😔
What's up with this trend of rappers singing?
chance is a criminal for not putting this on spotify
Soooooooo HAPPY to WATCH U perform...I have been looking for you!!! Thank U that was GREAT!!!
Over two year after and im still waiting for this song :/
For all you guys that, like me, are bummed this isn't on Spotify - you can download it and import it to your account. I'm pretty sure you can edit out Colbert's intro too :)
It’s been over two years but still waiting for this to be on Spotify
Hey! Coming back to this video I just realized it's those guys from thirdstory backing and one of them even playing the guitar!
Shame this wasn’t on the album. Whole album was lowkey disappointing, still love chance tho
The american dream may you never wake up
They should do more music together
Anyone else spot Third Story in the back?
Anyone else notice there was like a glitch when he said the Flint line...
hmm
Late to the party, but what’s the name of this song?
So is this song ever coming out or do we have to watch on Youtube forever?
Chance the rapper and Daniel this is a message to all people all nation and all tongue ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why isn’t this song available for down load 🙄
Immediately thought about this song after the owbum came out. The big day is not great and it’s awesome. He showed his vulnerability in this song and I’m so happy to see a happy chance the rapper. The last thing we need is another artist suffering from depression and other mental issues due to the fame.
Idk what is it about this, but I just keep coming back.
when so much turns to too much
have a dream and then never wake up
Omg this is so beautiful
This would have fit right to the vibe of the big day
Wil Anderson hell yeah, would be a good outro.
This shouldn’t be a song because this was a moment where chance takes music to political viewers . It not controversial or shades America. It shows you should always see the good in your life and focus on your dream on what you wanna do. He speaks on the “American Dream” or every persons American Dream what they want. You just got to put the work in day by day. It’s a beautiful song I cried , with the sound of the guitar itself felt spiritual but I think it couldn’t fit into an album because it was a wake up call for America
Every time I hear this I cry...still. This is my next music video inspiration.
this song better than any of the ones he put on the album...
the big day sucked, where was the stuff like this on it? wtf
The guitar slightly reminds me of 2pac THUGZ MANSION
THIS IS WHAT THE ALLBUM SHOULD OF BEEN.
Always find my way back to this video, to hear this song ( especially since it’s the only place I can find it) and took me almost 3,4 viewings before I realized the performance goes through the night into sunrise and finally light as the day approaches and is finally there... beautiful
I so enjoy this song...it is beautiful, honest and soulful...it fills my heart with joy and tears. L'chaim from Jacova, Jerusalem, Jesus....
I just love donnie trumpet!
There are a lot of great tracks on The Big Day, still this song would have improved the album. (some tracks on TBD are not worth remembering imo)
I wanted the big day to be full of songs like this yo. Wouldnt been a classic fr
gives me chills EVERY time
Why does everyone ask who is here doing x or in x year?
This unreleased track is 100x better than anything from The Big Day.
Tbh if I heard this and hot shower after I'd be even more upset at that album
I. Cant. WAIT for chance and Grace Weber to release tunes i would be so hype
Censored flint
Anyone else think this song alone is better than anything on The Big Day? Cause I do.
can he drop this already
This is the best song on the album
Does anyone want to explain why THIS wasn’t on The Big Day 😭
need more music like this from
him
😍😍😍
these lyrics are perfect for the big day
Shame nothing like this is on the (disappointing) album :(
LYING IS A SIN CHANCE!!!!!
fuck bro this is so good.
The Big Day, is finally here. It couldn't wait no more. We were ready, not not.
and he released tbd instead of this?
damn chance. what happened? oh, u got married. right.
surprised it wasn’t him debuting “ ooh i love my wife, ahh”
This is what the Big Day could have been. I've been following Chano since 10 Day, and this shows hes the same amazing artist as when he was 16 and 18. He's capable of creating amazing art. It's so sad the debut album was so poor when this is what he is capable of
He went for the pop, mainstream sound and that's hugely disappointing but the album will still be really successful. Hopefully he tries something different for the next project 🤞
If only The Big Day had songs like this
This would easily be the best song on the album.
I want him to drop this as a single, and not a studio version or anything, literally just copy the audio from this video and drop that, CHANNO COME ONE MAN
Dixon May I ripped the audio of the song, edited out the Colbert and crowd part and put it on my Spotify as a local file so I always have it.
Derrick Goble YO HOW I GOTTA DO THAT
this song opening the new album would have been perfect (especially with that hook). seems like a missed opportunity
still amazing!
why wasn’t this on the big day this would’ve actually been good
This track could have saved Big Day, just a little. Or this song's entire theme on Big Day would have helped, alot.
Alas 💔
came to this song since i couldnt find it anywhere in the new album. gotta extract from this i guess
this is how we all were hoping The Big Day would sound :(
When it’s not even on the new album ;.;
bruh i don’t know why people want it to drop cause he literally says “the day is on its way” (The Big Day) this was a track to feed us while we wait
Why was this better than the entirety of The Big Day
