[Skit: Keith David]
You damn right, we doin' good
We just had four consecutive quarters in the black
You kiddin' me?
Hey, wait a minute, where you goin'?
Come he– no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Come here, co–
Before you do, before you do all that, come here
Let me talk to him for a minute
Y'all know I'm proud of him, right?
As a matter of fact
Excuse me, excuse me, uh, uh
Garçon, yeah, boy I'm talkin' to you
Come here, give me one of them things
You old enough to drink, ain't ya?
Now, you know I got to do this
I'd like to make a toast to this young man
Come on, give it up, ladies and gentlemen
Give it up, come on, hahahahaha
Look at him, this is the future
This is a guy who literally never ceases to surprise me
The decisions he makes
Are not necessarily the decisions I would have made
Or anybody with some sense
But what I can say is: the boy is fearless
He's ambitious and he's a honest man
Look, he's grown, really
Got his lady with him, makin' himself a lil' money, look like
We see the success, but what's next?
I mean, we're proud
But you can't just pack it all up and start all over
It works here 'cause you got us
The support here is what made ya
This boy's a prime example, hm
Of countin' your eggs before they hatch
Got a lil' lucky, now he up and ready to take over the whole globe
Look at him, the kid's got big, big plans
And I hope they all work out, I really do
But do you ever really think about how it's s'posed to all work out?
Do you have health insurance? A retirement plan?
And you need to start savin' money, right? Huh?
Uh, and he gon' need a car
And you need to pay me that money you owe me
And you need a wife
And you need Jesus
Oh, and you need to be a vegan
Don't forget about that veganism, that's that 2019, it's almost 2020
(And you need a credit card)
You need to stop doin' that Percy pill
(And he gon' need a car)

Chancellor Johnathan Bennett (born April 16, 1993), known professionally as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor from the West Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.

Chance is the frontman and lead vocalist for the band The Social Experiment. His unconventional, bohemian approach to releasing music has led the wave of independent artists garnering national attention without a backing label. His first two acclaimed solo projects 10 Day (2012) and Acid Rap (2013) have been called “classic” by Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazine. Before his solo work, Chance was part of a hip-hop duo named Instrumentality with his friend Justin. Apart from his solo career, he is a member of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY (along with frequent collaborator Vic Mensa).

In 2015, Chance released a collaborative project titled Surf with Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment as a free album available through iTunes, and also became the first unsigned artist to perform on Saturday Night Live. His highly anticipated third solo project Coloring Book was released in 2016 via Apple Music to widespread praise from fans and critics alike, garnering a Metacritic score of 90 indicating “universal acclaim.” Coloring Book was also the first ever streaming-exclusive album to chart on the Billboard 200, debuting at number 8.
