[Part I: Finish Line]

[Intro: Eryn Allen Kane & Chance The Rapper]

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Huh)

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do (And we back, and we back, and we back, and we back)

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do, do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Huh)

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do (And we back, and we back)

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do (And we back)

Do-do, do-do, do


[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]

They ain't teaching taxes in school

It don't even matter, I was acting a fool

But who would think the raps would turn into racks?

Don't matter, matter fact, it could happen to you

Scars on my head, I'm the boy who lived

The boy love playing when the boy too sick

Reclining on a prayer, I'm declining to help

I've been lying to my body, can't rely on myself, oh, no

Last year, I got addicted to Xans

Started forgetting my name and start to missin' my chance

L.A. for four months, end up leaving right back

I'm in love with my city, bitch, I sleep in my hat, uh

I felt hogtied ever since my dog died

He lived to 84, damn, that's a long ride

I know he up there, he just sit and he wait

I'll be racing up the stairs, I'ma get to the gate, singing


[Refrain: Eryn Allen Kane]

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do, do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do, do

[Chorus: T-Pain & Chance The Rapper]

Oh, all my days

I prayed and prayed

And now I see the finish line

Oh, I'm gonna finish mine, yeah

All my days

I prayed and prayed

And now I see the finish line

Gonna finish mine, yeah (Hey)


[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]

Gimme the water, gimme the water, I need the kind from Space Jam

Get this money, get this budget, KOK to day camp

Me and my girl plan to stay to the end

Hope there never come a day where we be better as friends

We in a marathon we could build a marriage on

Arguments as parents digging deeper than a baritone

I've been getting blocked just tryna make songs with friends

Labels told me to my face that they own my friends

I got to pray, I got to pray, like Hammer after "2 Legit"

I got the power, I could poke Lucifer with crucifix

I cannot scrape off stupid shit, I stand up like I'm Ludacris

I know some folks that talk so much, you'd think they drive an Uber whip, damn

Queen said, "Why we in a queen bed?"

I said, "It's yours, don't worry, lil' beanhead"

I'm just here to catch my breath, I got the world tattooed

She said, "Cool, just bring me some food"


[Chorus: T-Pain]

Oh, all my days

I prayed and prayed

And now I see the finish line

Oh, I'm gonna finish mine, yeah

All my days

I prayed and prayed

And now I see the finish line

I'm gonna finish mine, yeah


[Refrain: Eryn Allen Kane]

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do, do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do, do-do

Do-do, do-do, do


[Outro]

Alright, we got it

[Part II: Drown]


[Intro: Eryn Allen Kane]

The water may be deeper than it's ever been


[Verse 1: Noname]

Lord rain down on me so I can move on water

Like children at the altar, like God inside my house

I love you, I love you, you looking holy like Mama

You made a church out of feathers, so when she fly to the Father

She know the choir gon' follow and all the offering paid

She gave my name away to your holy house

She like my blessings in disguise

She like her Jesus mountain high

So He can watch her lonely child, I know my God

I know my God, seen His breaks and His edges

Are jagged for giving that pain to His city in gold

Like everything is everything

Like all them days He prayed with me

Like emptiness was tamed in me

And all that was left was His love

And all that was left was His love

And all that was left was His love

And all that was left was His love


[Chorus: Choir]

Never, never drown

The water may be deeper than it's ever been

Never drown

The water may be deeper than it's ever been

Never drown

[Verse 2: Choir & Kirk Franklin]

Never, never, never (Chance, let me in, come on)

This thirst in my soul (There's a thirst in my soul, it tell me)

Where else can I go? (Where?) but You? (Come on)

I may cry a river (I may cry a thousand tears, but)

But You take each drop and You wash (You wash me new)

Me new (People sing)

This water is deep (Yes, yes and I need You to)

Jesus, rescue me (Come on, save me, I need You to)

Take me to Your mountain (Hallelujah)

So someday Chicago will be free (Someday, we'll all be free)

Be free (Say)


[Chorus: Choir]

The water may be deeper than it's ever been

Never drown

The water may be deeper than it's ever been

Never drown
