Featuring: Chance the Rapper 070 Shake

Producer: Kanye West 7 Aurelius Irv Gotti

[Intro: 070 Shake]
Fallin', dreamin', talkin' in your sleep
I know you want to cry all night, all night
Plottin', schemin', findin'
Reason to defend all of your violent nights
Promise me you will see

[Chorus 1: 070 Shake]
Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw
It was all part of the story, even the scary nights
Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, aw
Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (Night, night)
They gotta repaint the colors, the lie is wearin' off
Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off
Colors drippin' off

[Verse: Chance the Rapper]
Sturdy, solid and sturdy, voice of a birdie
Told me, "Just stay determined, she would deter me"
Purdy, pretty and curvy, developed early
Curve me, 'til she finally heard me, and one day she served me
"Hurt me," she just kept yelling "hurt me!
Slap me and choke me and curse me!"
She still got wounds from the nursery
This is the woman who nursed me
Gave me some water I'm thirsty
Gave all her best to the worst me
Showed me my first bit of mercy
Showed me that someone can substitute love for so long that they don't know the difference and sex for her now is a bad anniversary
She want the alley like Kirsty, she don't remember the first me
Someone went into her purse and she just wanna know when they gon' reimburse me
She don't want no one at [?], she don't want no one to court her
She don't want no one to curtsy, you know how people in church be
Callin' her fast but no one'll ask like, "Who the fuck put her at her speed?"
She come with the [?], and all of this happened at thirteen

[Chorus 2: Chance the Rapper]
Don't you grow up in a hurry, your momma be worried now
Some people owe you a sorry, but that's not your story now
Don't you grow up in a hurry, in a hurry, in a hurry
Hurry, hurry
Don't you grow up in a hurry, in a hurry now
In a hurry now

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
