Israel (sparring) Lyrics - Chance The Rapper

[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper] 

Sparring is training 

Chain snatching the slaves 

But a rap song is a match in a cave 

Dim lit, wet wick, wicked rapping it's way 

Drunk off of light, lies, laughing 

Claiming asylum while shining in shade 

I can't stay silent, I go violent when my violets is gray 

And my roses is black 

Fuck the pharaohs and pharisees, Moses is back 

I don't need to see a Sphinx to know they noses was black 

I don't know one temptation that had Otis' back 

Sparring is training this a jumping jack 

I'm the scariest jack in the pumpkin patch 

Float like my jumper wet, sting like a bumblebee 

I swing like a lumber jack, go back when I'm up at bat 

They tried to label me an odd rapper 

I'm an independent contractor 

Car cracker, sparring is training without the training wheels 

You made it, you made it, you made it, yeah, you made a deal 

You played it straight, hated, graduated, waited, waited 

You still a waiter still 

Mice will always find out ways to steal 

Picture me, fifth of Hennessy and the swisher sweet 

Fake identity, 'til a plug named Trinity shook me 

"Wake up, wake up" like remember me? 

Said one plus one make three, and you finna see 

You ain't as grown as you finna be 

You got them young nigga tendencies

[Verse 2: Noname Gypsy] 

Sentimental energy 

I love the lighting beside him 

I stand like an angel 

Sparring is training for an apathetic halo 

Apologetic, non religious, consequential fable 

Like good is good for loving me, it's googly, or godly 

The Bible say mistakes is necessary 

So I Mississippi monologue to granny's house 

My soloist is sold out to attentive God 

Cornbread on my table when I say my prays on airs 

The stairs with shadiness, it's time to rest or manifest 

Sparring is training, I know they thank me, bumblebee 

Afro-Americano Sunny D 

But bet I sting, no die 

[Transition: Together] 

Sparring is training

[Verse 3: Chance The Rapper] 

Jacob wrestled with God, in the desert 'til he broke him 

And he blessed him and he rescued his heart 

I struggle with love, I juggle my loves 

I cuddle and coddle, ship wrecking bottle, I huddle in hugs 

Sparring is training brah, Ramses watching raining frogs 

Jigga watching Damon, Damon watching Wayans Bros 

A tandem unicycle with two pilots in different maps 

[Transition: Noname Gypsy (Chance The Rapper)] 

You get me back? 

(I'm giving back) 

[Verse 3: Noname Gypsy] 

Tit for tat, synagogue and bottle caps 

A body in the underpass says, where's my Jesus? 

Pledge allegiance to the money now 

We run it down, the kiddie parks for darker kids 

Be casualty, like come with me, to the museum 

[Transition: Together] 

Excuse them, they know of what they do 

[Verse 4: Chance The Rapper] 

Sparring is training, don't let Denzel's training day debut 

Since they could catch a fade too 

We be on that elegant, hella melanin 

Barely, barely, says the crayons and jellybeans 

[Outro: Chance The Rapper (Noname Gypsy)] 

And now you know Noname ain't never for none 

(Ayo, you know Chano ain't never for none) 

And now you know Noname ain't never for none 

(Ayo, you know Chano ain't never for none) 

Aha, and you don't stop 

Boom bap, and you don't stop 

I told you that was gonna be fun though
