Chance The Rapper The Highs & The Lows

Chance The Rapper and Joey Bada$$’s forthcoming single, titled “The Highs & The Lows,” was originally slated to release this Friday, but the former blog-era stars opted to go the grassroots route and share the highly anticipated single with select fans a day early. Shared as an unlisted video to YouTube, “The Highs & The Lows” encourages fans to spread the word of its “secret” release within their inner circles.

“Thank you to all my fans and supporters that have been there since day one. I wanted to give you guys the opportunity — to all my real fans — to be the first to hear my newest piece, ‘The Highs & The Lows’ featuring Joey Bada$$,” Chance says in the intro to the surprise drop. “Because it’s so hard sometimes to connect with all of you, I need a favor. After you hear this song, I want you to send this to five people that maybe didn’t get a chance to hear it. Throw it in your group chat, send it to your best friend, or just play it out loud because the people gotta know The Return is now!”

While there isn’t yet much indication as to whether “The Return” is the name of Chance’s sophomore studio album, it is cool to see that Chance The Rapper and Joey Bada$$ are finding interesting ways to share their music with their fans. The four-minute track doesn’t disappoint either, as it features both of the beloved rappers sliding over a soulful, chopped-up sample.

Lyric Video

Lyrics

[Intro: Chance the Rapper]
The highs and the lows
The highs, the lows

[Verse 1: Chance the Rapper]
I’m an emotional rollercoaster (Igh)
Where high so high could put Bol Bol on a poster
But when the bread get low like four loafs and a toaster
Or the shoulders can’t get cold as ten toes in Nova Scotia
Some days I hold a grudge, some days I hold a ghoster
Some days I just ghost her, some days I’m supposed to
The crib feel like a gun fight, but them strollers, that’s the holster (Huh)
We can make amends over old means and mimosas
My momma know I ain’t make my bed, but I’ma lay in it
Whether there’s sandpaper [?] in it
Whether I’m alone, a Creole lady, momma laid in it
The same pajamas, I was afraid then of boogeyman slain
My blankets conceal my blade in it, emotional seesaw
With two fat motherfuckers with strong knees and free fallin’ (Huh)
It’s cloudy with a chance of meatballs, I checked the weather
I gave all my vices a call, let’s get together
To talk about the highs and lows, the ups and downs
And the friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I do, you always come around
Come around, come around, come around, come around
To work out the highs and lows, the ups and downs
No need to hide, disguises comin’ down
Go and get high, I promise you comin’ down
Comin’ down, comin’ down, comin’ down, comin’ down

[Chorus: Chance The Rapper & Joey Bada$$]
When it’s hard to keep your eyes on the road (Eyes on the road)
You start to feel your back on the ropes (Your back ‘gainst the road)
You gotta take the highs with the lows (The highs with the lows)
You gotta take the highs with the lows (Yeah, yeah)
You’re lost and you’re runnin’ out of hope (You’re runnin’ out of hope)
Lookin’ for the best way to cope (For the best ways)
You know me, I been there before (We all been there)
You gotta take the highs with the lows
(Badmon)

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
I was feelin’ lifeless, I had to cut my vices (I had to)
Now the feelin’ that I feel is priceless
In the spirit, want me to be righteous
But I know I might just relapse, acceptin’ these advices
Got so used to feedback, I couldn’t tell what mine’s is
Some times all the outside know is just really blinders
Beware, believe in none of what you see and half of what you hear
The best things in life on the opposite side of fear
I swear I see it clear, like after the storm still
You can’t stop the rain like the loose end song
My word is bond, like James, yeah, I couldn’t complain
‘Cause even when I did, niggas really couldn’t feel my pain
That’s the type of shit that drive nigga go insane
Wanna be numb, like you dumb back flickin’ the flame
Back to square one, tryna overcome what you became
Like they was right, I guess you never gon’ change
I guess you never gon’

[Chorus: Chance The Rapper & Joey Bada$$]
When it’s hard to keep your eyes on the road (Eyes on the road)
You start to feel your back on the ropes (Your back ‘gainst the road)
You gotta take the highs with the lows (The highs with the lows)
You gotta take the highs with the lows (Yeah, yeah)
You’re lost and you’re runnin’ out of hope (You’re runnin’ out of hope)
Lookin’ for the best way to cope (For the best ways)
You know me, I been there before (We all been there)
You gotta take the highs with the lows

[Refrain: Chance The Rapper]
To talk about the highs and lows, the ups and downs
And the friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I do, you always come around
Come around, come around, come around, come around
To work out the highs and lows, the ups and downs (The ups and downs)
No need to hide, disguises comin’ down (Comin’ down)
Go and get high, I promise you comin’ down
Comin’ down, comin’ down, comin’ down, comin’ down

[Outro: Joey Bada$$]
Bow, bow, bow, brr
Ya’ know
Chance The Rapper, Joseph Badmon (Yes, yes)
Ya dun know
Big up to the yute dem
The yute dem worldwide (The yute dem are the trut them)
The prayers to most high, prayers to most high
