Chance The Rapper - I Was A Rock Lyrics
"I'd like to know what you're going to do when you retire from boxing?"
"I really don't know, I want to say something right here this might make you all think.
When I get out of Boxing or when I'm through, I want to do all I can to help people.
What's the best thing I can do? Get ready to meet God."
I lost track of time
Rolling on the road
Christmas Eves and Valentines
Seemed like the days before
I came I went I did well
I did I really meant well
But I almost missed my beat
So thank you for saving me a seat
I swear ain't no where greater
Ain't no where better, better, better, better
Ain't no one prettier
Ain't no one wiser
Ain't no where better, better
God is watching me
God don’t praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don’t give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don’t care nothing about England or America
As far as wealth
It’s all his
He wants to know how do we treat each other
How do we help each other
I was a rock
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock
Steady hold
I've grown weary and old
We're as close as we'll ever be
I was gone I had places to be
And of course you're in the last place I look
I swear ain't no where greater
Ain't no where brighter
Ain't no where better, better, better, better
Ain't no one prettier
Ain't no one wiser
Ain't no one better, better
And I'm still standing here
Standing still
I won't be moved
How used to do when
I was a rock
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock

RIP Kobe #24/8
Chance should do something like this for Kobe Bryant💔
Who else came here after hearing the news about Kobe? 😔
Justin Carter I was drawn to this song
I need this same type of tribute for Kobe this year.
Ok. So y'all know... Chance is Jesus. Dead ass serious. The 3 on his hat is the number of his name. Chancellor Jonathan Bennett. 3 names. All of which are of his lineage to and in Israel. His whole message, the trumpets, y'all ain't figured it out yet?
Chance- could you PLEASE make a recording of this...I would listen on repeat.
Sublime video production, I delight it to much ! Most Fitting part is 1:11. *I uploaded 1 twerk, Pls check and say your opinion* 🧡 💃 💖

Who’s here after Chances career trajectory started to disappoint you? 😕
Y'all talking about chance and forgot who he talking about. Mohammed Ali, one of the greatest to ever do it, bless your soul brother!

Beautiful
Thank you for saving me a seat.
I know Change is awesome but will no one talk about Muhammad ali? Lol
I wasn't into chance the rapper at this time, but I remember watching this on my television when this aired. I watched it all the way through just as mesmerized by the how amazing this man is as I am now. Chance the rapper is everything that the world needs and he puts smiles on so many people's faces, hope and positivity in so many hearts I swear, he is the best. ❤️❤️
Goosebumps

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU
I don't know about anyone else but this brought me tears damn you Chance The Rapper
choir director I see so sick
This young man is a jewel in our society. We need this man to be elevated past all the gangsta rappers. He has style. He has "mad" poetic skills. He can sing. He IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN this fractured American society. But must importantly, He has character. Thank you to his father & mother who guided this great talent. Please follow this young man young black men and women. If you follow this young man instead of the knuckleheads who tout the "gin & juice" aspect of what we have been characterized as, YOU TOO can be a difference maker. WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA. Thank you Chance for your beautiful tribute to a man who made this world much better.
Chance the Singer?
Hit the high note like a champ
He wrote this song four days before he performed this....damn
ain't no 1 better
High schools eyes closed seeing arenas.
Chance made my 2016 the positive year.

I am upset that i am just finding this song 🙃🙃🙃
Chance and Taylor Bennett are revolutionizing the hip hop game. God bless. Tha real homies will know about taylor
He! Just! Did! That!
If chance was a pastor, he'll make everyone donate their entire fortune.
What's the song??
Anyone else shook when he hit that high note the second verse?
He reminds me of the movie "Let it shine"
Can someone please xplain "i was a rock" mean?
Try looking up "I was a rock" on genius. Best thing I can think of for the meaning.
That chorus of black men is everything
why did anyone dislike
