[Verse 1: Chance]
I get sad when I look at the stars
They so pretty you can't tell them apart
You think they close but really they far
Really they ain't even that much closer than God
It's much harder to sin naked
I walked past apple trees and didn't take it
Thought about stone mattresses, thin blankets
Really long winters spent in a wind breaker
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 turning two she don't need diapers she just need a papa
I really need a break
I could really use a nap
My daughter barely recognize me when I lose the hat
You go so far you hit a point where you can't uber back
The other day I told a hummingbirdy to relax
I did my worst I did the work I had to skip the label
I go to church they wanna flick I wanna 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

[Refrain]
First world problems that ****** make up
Have a dream and then never wake
When so much turns to too much
Have a dream and then never wake up

[Chorus: Chance & Daniel Caesar]
The day is on it's way couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (Here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not)
The day is on it's way couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (Here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not)
Here it comes

(the spirit's moving)

[Verse 2: Chance]
I think my little cousins want their cousin back
The automatic quarterback that doesn't rap
I 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 or 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 highschool I missed my prom, I ditched my date
I missed my beat, I kissed my teeth, kicked my feet
Whooped 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'd heard the knews I would known what he said
But the recliner on my chair's like an emergency brake, y'know?

[Refrain]
First world problems that ****** make up
Have a dream and then never wake
When so much turns to too much
Have a dream and then never wake up

[Chorus: Chance & Daniel Caesar]
The day is on it's way couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (Here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not)
The day is on it's way couldn't wait no more
Here it comes (Here it comes) Ready or not (ready or not)
Here it comes

[Verse 3: Chance]
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 clappin' and keep actin'
Like Flint got clean water and y'all don' got teen daughters and black friends and gay cousins
Y'all just don't say nothin'
Know that the day comin' knees bowed tongues confessin'
The last ones gettin' first dibs on blessings

[Refrain]
Now these first world problems that ****** make up
Keep on playin' we gonna shake this shit up
They keep on telling us we makin' it up
The American Dream may you never wake up

[Chorus: Chance & Daniel Caesar]
The day is on it's 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 it's way it will not wait another day
No more, no more
The day is on it's way I cannot wait, here it is to stay
No more, no more
Tell 'em one more time
The day is on it's way it couldn't wait no more
Here it is
