Never listened to his music before, I did not anticipate finishing this song with tears streaming down my face. Thank god I work remote, can't be out here openly crying at the office!
@@RogalDorn01 I think you could start with the Big Day so that way it doesn't seem that bad in comparison right away. It just might not hold you on like the rest of em do. So if you slippin just go to Acid Rap. Also! check out his song I Was A Rock, it's only got a live recording and not on streaming.
Big shout outs for the decision to inclusively display the lyrics, I'm not hearing impaired but reading lyrics helps me understand them more than just hearing them - visual learners rejoice!
I'm an old whire man and I remember when I was younger I thought being a bigot was just gonna die out because I thought the world was getting smarter.. This guy still gives me hope
This is the first Chance song since “Hot Shower” I’ve listened to. Brought tears to my eyes, this is a genuinely heartfelt and beautiful song. Wow this was an amazing performance too, so restrained yet raw at every moment
Dang you missed out then because he’s dropped a couple other singles before this. (The return) (heart and the tongue) are major ones and a couple others.
In the back of my mind listening to the studio recording, I was waiting for him to go crazy. This performance means everything to this song, what an Artist capital A
I cannot believe how moving this young man’s flow is, how it touches a deep place within and speaks the universal truth. Mad props to the rapper laureate, from the City of Big Shoulders.
It touches deep because you're gullible and obviously easily swayed, anybody can make up a bunch of words that sounds really pleasing but look where the source of it is, Hollywood the entertainment mecca, full of every kind of devil and sick twisted person that they can keep and make money off of
The emotion here…the style…the visual elements…made me interested if Chance ever has interest in doing a musical. The way this built so beautifully, he really has a feel for the emotion of music. Talented guy.
the performance is, was over-powering but if I read his lyrics I can’t listen to his words, this is something that you have to listen more than one time. And, kudos to Stephen Colbert for putting the Black experience on the very front and center of his show!
The first time I heard this song I ALMOST cried but this time, after hearing that emotion in his voice he got me😭 I'm at work but atp I don't even care I just went to the bathroom and let out 2 years worth of tears ,thank you chance, you never stop inspiring me
That's a amazing painting, made more amazing by the collaboration...Art is growing and thriving, even if we don't know where to look...thank you for this performance
Well that was my first Chance the Rapper song. i wasn't expecting to be sitting in my room with tears rolling down my face. is all of his music this powerful?
WoahhhhEEE!!! Talent with perfectly placed words. Unique music exquisitely blended with orchestra and rap. And talk about Passion! 💥🔥💓 My favorite part was the Spiritual Inspiration. Chance spoke truth: you ARE a Child of God!!
Because good human feel emotions from powerful messages backed by music. This white Granny feels it too. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 Appreciate it for your kind words. I almost forgot the good vibes that I felt from this good song for a couple months. I’ve been in the middle of such trying times. However, I just remembered what I should do now because of your touching comment. Thanks a lot. 💓🙏🏻
A beautiful, insightful, inspired song of freedom and purpose. A parent cheering on their child. When people want to put you in a box or mold you into their image, remember who you are, child of God. Thankful to my daughter-in-law sharing this song in tribute to her son, my grandson.
I don't know what I can say But yeah just do ya thing Dam that's a beautiful thing Just do ..we need that love and peace much love chance may all the blessings come upon ya✌️
Powerful! And it brought tears to my eyes, cuz I’ve been beaten down and beaten up, told I’m worthless by those who should’ve loved and protected me. Now I stand here a broken person searching for my thing. Searching and searching and searching… Thank you, Chance, for such a powerful, moving, and encouraging piece of art.💜
That was absolutely beautiful Chance the Rapper you are one in a million The Children Sing In Darkness there's a pain. In silent night. A glow of shame seeps through a candle-lite. A troubling sense, oh of days to come. And where would we be now if the world lived in harmony. The children smile and sing, "If the world lived in harmony where would we be now?" But there's a man of thirst. He seek no drink. Divides the world of skin and how they think. A rising hate, oh and blood will flow. And where would we be now if the world lived in harmony. The children smile and sing, "If the world lived in harmony where would we be now?" People stand idle by. No thoughts to share. A burning rage growing large everywhere. The time is near, oh to make a peace. And where would we be now if the world lived in harmony. The children smile and sing, "if the world lived in harmony where would we be now?" 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 The choice is ours to make. Thy will be done. To close our eyes and ignore the righteous flight of everyone. Soaring so high, in our lives we love. We all need to stand and live our lives in peace & harmony.

Agh!

This single, if anything, was Chance's reminder to himself that he can't listen to what people say 100% of the time. After The Big Day got such backlash, on top of other things transpiring in his personal life, Chance definitely needed to reassure himself of who he is and what he does. Excellent performance Just an aside, he always builds up his performances to have these incredible climaxes that always make me feel so amazing afterward. Can't express how much this man inspires me
*This Song made me cry bro, I've been so distant from Jesus Christ & him coming back to me like nothin happened set me free of my chains I've been carrying for so long. I'm free, Thank You Jesus, Prays Jehovah, Prays The Holy Spirit & the angels that have protect me for so long. Amen.*
I just saw Chance's Performance on "Late Night with Stephen Colbert", et as A Painter/Artist, A Woman et Especially A Christian/Child of GOD, This Song really Resonates--- et even more so as this is Holy Week. The line, "This World will make You second guess your first mind" is So Very True, but with GOD, Thankfully et with Grace, Nothing is Impossible for those of whom He is Father 🙏🙏🙏.
Don't like rap. Never have, never will, or so I thought! My appreciation for rap has been altered by this young mans musical statement! Still not a rap follower, but I definitely will listen to more of this young man's music! ✌👍
So much heart and passion in his performance, and listening to the story behind the song and the art gives a whole other level of understanding and appreciation.
![Chance the Rapper - Child of God (2022) | STAR LINE [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
Love how they went with Chance’s style for this performance, cinematography wise, and with the one word lyrics on screen
Never listened to his music before, I did not anticipate finishing this song with tears streaming down my face. Thank god I work remote, can't be out here openly crying at the office!
He's great my only advice is, if you wanna listen to the rest of his stuff, listen to the big day last. The first half of the album is really bad
@@TristanSmith99 Fair enough! Thanks for the Pro-Tip
@@RogalDorn01 I think you could start with the Big Day so that way it doesn't seem that bad in comparison right away. It just might not hold you on like the rest of em do. So if you slippin just go to Acid Rap.
Also! check out his song I Was A Rock, it's only got a live recording and not on streaming.
New chance fan is born!!
I cried too. It’s a very moving song for sure.
Big shout outs for the decision to inclusively display the lyrics, I'm not hearing impaired but reading lyrics helps me understand them more than just hearing them - visual learners rejoice!
And it highlights the difference between someone who talks fast and a great rapper. He never missed a step, and each word perfectly understood.
@@SelinaCat it's really the difference between rap and a beat poem. I'm guessing he calls himself a rapper because otherwise people wouldn't
@@1physics I immediately said, "Beatnik!"
Gee- live musicians ( not recorded music)
I'm an old whire man and I remember when I was younger I thought being a bigot was just gonna die out because I thought the world was getting smarter..
This guy still gives me hope
I’m a 70 year old grandma, and this song brought tears to my eyes. I know old ladies aren’t supposed to like rap, but…this song is beautiful!
♥️
Do your thing, child...
You're allowed to like whatever you like💜
Love it
legend grandma
I’m a 62 year old and this gave me chills. And again the second time.
63, me too...
@@JamesAllmond Shut up, you young punks.
68, I'm not afraid to cry in public.
Eh, that's not a surprise. Listen to Polyphia or Underoath and I would be impressed
This is the first Chance song since “Hot Shower” I’ve listened to. Brought tears to my eyes, this is a genuinely heartfelt and beautiful song. Wow this was an amazing performance too, so restrained yet raw at every moment
You said everything I felt, thanks
Dang you missed out then because he’s dropped a couple other singles before this. (The return) (heart and the tongue) are major ones and a couple others.
@@killakey3945 I’ll definitely check them out, hopping back on my 🏄 to ride the Chance wave once again
listen to “The Return”. it came out in 2019
In the back of my mind listening to the studio recording, I was waiting for him to go crazy. This performance means everything to this song, what an Artist capital A
I cannot believe how moving this young man’s flow is, how it touches a deep place within and speaks the universal truth. Mad props to the rapper laureate, from the City of Big Shoulders.
"Rapper Laureate"!! Love that! 😘
It touches deep because you're gullible and obviously easily swayed, anybody can make up a bunch of words that sounds really pleasing but look where the source of it is, Hollywood the entertainment mecca, full of every kind of devil and sick twisted person that they can keep and make money off of
This piece is everything. I'm in tears. Incredible. Profound. Moving. May it spark and kindle the Divine within us all.
The emotion here…the style…the visual elements…made me interested if Chance ever has interest in doing a musical. The way this built so beautifully, he really has a feel for the emotion of music. Talented guy.
Chance has always been an honest artist and I love how he embraces actual music and art tied to his religion but not a lecture.
Im in tears walk in beauty chance! thank you that was wonderful!
the performance is, was over-powering but if I read his lyrics I can’t listen to his words, this is something that you have to listen more than one time. And, kudos to Stephen Colbert for putting the Black experience on the very front and center of his show!
This performance is so underated. So many people are missing out on this soulful and passionate experience.
Thank you Chance. Thank you Niala. Thank you Moses. For doing your thing.
This performance gave me goosebumps. Wonderful.
I hadnt heard Chance the rapper til now. Wow!! Emotionally brilliant
I don't remember seeing a more impassioned song in forever.
new fan, better late than never "Chance The Rapper"✌️😊❤️
Thank you Chance the Rapper for this testimony, this bit of reassurance and guidance. This art that shines and pierces. Well done!
I'm so glad they put the lyrics up. I'm very visual so I don't get the full impact of rap or fast moving songs sometimes.
This gentleman is a lyrical savant. Hard stop.
Chance out here being a child of God doing his thing.
This was bloody amazing. Best piece of art I heard on this show since Beware of Darkness performed by Sheryl Crow.
One of the most beautiful, insightful lyricists in the game right now. Love him so much.
This gives new meaning to the term "lyric video".
Ngl be really awesome if more rap performances were supported with subtitles. Helps the viewer appreciate the message even more.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Bless you chance we need more of this
Absolutely amazing! This gave me chills! Super cool! Love the jazzy feel! Awesome painting too!
This brings me to tears everytime i watch it.
All praise to the most high. 🙏🏾 No matter what you call God, know there is something greater than anything ever seen or felt, waiting for you.
The first time I heard this song I ALMOST cried but this time, after hearing that emotion in his voice he got me😭 I'm at work but atp I don't even care I just went to the bathroom and let out 2 years worth of tears ,thank you chance, you never stop inspiring me
The emotional beats on this track *and the performance, have me ugly-crying 😭
That's a amazing painting, made more amazing by the collaboration...Art is growing and thriving, even if we don't know where to look...thank you for this performance
Art is by Naila Opianga.
Chance spitting straight poetry
An incredibly moving performance and pieces of art.
Beautiful in every way!!! And including the subtitles so the message isn't missed is next level. Thank you, Chance the Rapper! #DoYourThingChild ✊🙌🏼🙏
I got goosebumps 😳. Incredible
Well that was my first Chance the Rapper song. i wasn't expecting to be sitting in my room with tears rolling down my face. is all of his music this powerful?
not all but a big part of it is
This isn't the first I'm listening to Chance the rapper, & I'M crying!!!! This song lit something alright!
amazing! chance never fails to impress! Do your thang child
Yes! Brilliant.. and thank you for including the lyrics!!
Took my breath away...beautiful 💖
Puts me in mind of one of Dylan's early anthems
Stephen isn't just hosting a show. He's curating works of art over there at the Late Show
Such a smart comment.
I couldn't agree more .
Wow. I'm looking for word that surpasses fantastic! The lyrics, the musicians, the production....beyond fantastic!
Tears...I don't know why but I feel it.
As I am, you will be.
As you are, I was.
Child of God,
do your thing.
We can only be as happy
as our minds are at peace.
🙏🇺🇦🥺
That was beautiful! I was nearly brought to tears.
That was so deep and moving. Love to see people of God excelling at their crafts and acknowledging him at the same time.
WoahhhhEEE!!! Talent with perfectly placed words. Unique music exquisitely blended with orchestra and rap. And talk about Passion! 💥🔥💓 My favorite part was the Spiritual Inspiration. Chance spoke truth: you ARE a Child of God!!
It's a poem. I love it.
beautiful. as most others are commenting, I am now currently in tears. thank you.
He’s so talented!! The artist of that work is amazing! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So beautiful. Why am I crying 😭
Because good human feel emotions from powerful messages backed by music. This white Granny feels it too. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.

Child of God - our primary identity. We all, everyone of us.
Just one word - "Powerful"
A beautiful, insightful, inspired song of freedom and purpose. A parent cheering on their child. When people want to put you in a box or mold you into their image, remember who you are, child of God.
Thankful to my daughter-in-law sharing this song in tribute to her son, my grandson.
I don't know what I can say
But yeah just do ya thing
Dam that's a beautiful thing
Just do ..we need that love and peace much love chance may all the blessings come upon ya✌️

When we needed him most.. Chance returns. Amazing.
OH.
MY.
GOD.
This reduced me to tears even before Chance himself started to cry. What a beautiful prayer.
This has the soul and poetry of early Kanye music.
Legendary
That was absolutely beautiful Chance the Rapper you are one in a million
The Children Sing
In Darkness there's a pain.
In silent night.
A glow of shame seeps through a candle-lite.
A troubling sense, oh of days to come.
And where would we be now
if the world lived in harmony.
The children smile and sing,
"If the world lived in harmony
where would we be now?"
But there's a man of thirst.
He seek no drink.
Divides the world of skin
and how they think.
A rising hate, oh and blood will flow.
And where would we be now
if the world lived in harmony.
The children smile and sing,
"If the world lived in harmony where would we be now?"
People stand idle by.
No thoughts to share.
A burning rage growing large
everywhere.
The time is near, oh to make a peace.
And where would we be now
if the world lived in harmony.
The children smile and sing,
"if the world lived in harmony where would we be now?"
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
The choice is ours to make.
Thy will be done.
To close our eyes and ignore
the righteous flight of everyone.
Soaring so high, in our lives we love.
We all need to stand
and live our lives in peace & harmony.
The children smile and sing,
"Live in peace and harmony
together hand-in-hand."
Peace and Harmony
We all need to stand
For Peace & Harmony.
Peace & Harmony.

That was sooooo beautiful!😭🥰
Good to see Donnie Trumpet is still in the band. Good song
Thank you Chance !!!!
Excellent performance!
Beautiful!!! Profound!!! Life CHANGING. Thank You God and Thank You Chance.
Chance is back!
Back from what? Chance comes when the Lord calls him. 🙏🏾
@@miamiole he was not calling him on that last album lol. But he's calling today fosho
Chance, your song is so poignant and beautiful. Thank you
Thanks Steve for having my bud Chance! I’ll be releasing my first album on July 19th, 2023 in Milwaukee! ❤😊
This video is so slept on. One of chance's greatest performances
Agh!
Just do your thing, child
Just do your thing, child
Do your thing
Truth be told, I got the ball on a string
Carried the weight of the world, but it came with some handles
I drag it to the basket, Moses with the passage
Safely Lord God, please make an example
I try to break shackles, now they ankles in shambles
I can't expect them to be grateful and thankful
They thought I had a manual like Hansel
Leave your plans in man's hands, and it gets manhandled
Dancin' in the street, but I didn't panhandle
When I finally drop, make a pamphlet
Sell tickets, put that shit on FanDuel, OnlyFans and Fandango
Give me your ear like Van Gogh, and it's candlewick
I mean, I mean, it's lit like a candlestick
When I'm fatigued like a camo fit
I'm rich, man, the size of the needle that the camel fits
Walkin' to Jesus with my sandals wet
This world would make you second guess your first mind
Remember when it was your first day, the first time
It couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time
And you remember that lil voice with that rehearsed line
Just repeatin'
Do your thing, child (do your thing, child)
Do your thing (that shit hit! hahahaha!)
Just do your thing, child (oh jeez)
Do your thing (do your thing child)
At every corner, store, bodega, delicatessen
Stands a big head kid learning delicate lessons
Roasted for they clothes, or they emotions or they roaches
Bullied by they friends, or they mamas, or they coaches
Half size, chastised, dogs with glass eyes
Talk down, tossed down, the world just pass by
Grow up to be saviors, surgeons, rabbis
The world should've capsized when God got baptized
The boat don't sink, the show don't stop
The weapons form, the load don't drop
The boat gon' rock, the foes gon' plot
The rolls don't switch, the photo crop
The motto is "The more those hate, the more those are prop"
Open, the prince of Heaven was tempted
Told that he wasn't who he was, and they meant it
Never was there a path better cemented
What they gon' say when you at the Olympics tryna attempt?
Remember when it was your first day, the first time
Couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time
And you remember that lil voice with that rehearsed line
Repeatin', it was sayin'
Do your thing (do your thing child)
Just do your thing child (do your thing)
Do your thing (child of God!)
Just do your thing child
Just do your thing, child
Do your thing (child of God!)
Do your thing child (do your thing)
Do your thing child (do your thing)
Just do your thing child (do your thing)
Just do your thing child (do your thing)
This world would make you second guess your first mind
Remember when it was your first day, the first time
It couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time
And you remember that lil voice with that rehearsed line
Just repeatin'
Do your thing, child
Do your thing (that shit hit! Hahahaha!)
Just do your thing, child (oh jeez!)
Do your thing (do your thing)
Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing
Do your thing child, do your thing
Child of God!
Wow so profound.Woman black beauties ascending Sooo profound.Ghana and Rapper birthing something oustanding..
This single, if anything, was Chance's reminder to himself that he can't listen to what people say 100% of the time. After The Big Day got such backlash, on top of other things transpiring in his personal life, Chance definitely needed to reassure himself of who he is and what he does. Excellent performance
Just an aside, he always builds up his performances to have these incredible climaxes that always make me feel so amazing afterward. Can't express how much this man inspires me
Wow a rap song showing so much emotions.
Love that Chance gave a shout out to the artist at the end; signifying that it's her work as much as his.
*This Song made me cry bro, I've been so distant from Jesus Christ & him coming back to me like nothin happened set me free of my chains I've been carrying for so long. I'm free, Thank You Jesus, Prays Jehovah, Prays The Holy Spirit & the angels that have protect me for so long. Amen.*
Wow. Beautiful song. Felt it hard!
Chance out here raising everyone's children! ❤
Go Chance! Thank you for putting Ghana 🇬🇭 out there.
Chance doing his thing!
That was something extraordinary!!
...btw, my favourite word of late, Thanks, Chance, Stephen, gang. You mean something important.
Gave me Goosebumps. Good stuff
This is it. Rap is spoken word.
Chance The Rapper is an amazing performer. The passion he puts into these performances shine through, every single time.
I just saw Chance's Performance on "Late Night with Stephen Colbert", et as A Painter/Artist, A Woman et Especially A Christian/Child of GOD, This Song really Resonates--- et even more so as this is Holy Week. The line, "This World will make You second guess your first mind" is So Very True, but with GOD, Thankfully et with Grace, Nothing is Impossible for those of whom He is Father 🙏🙏🙏.
Speechless.
Don't like rap. Never have, never will, or so I thought! My appreciation for rap has been altered by this young mans musical statement! Still not a rap follower, but I definitely will listen to more of this young man's music! ✌👍
Make sure it’s only from coloring book album if your listening to his previous record it’s the most similar to this message flow and delivery
Chance always spits fire on Colbert.
A mazing. Chance and Naya. That art is legend.
So much heart and passion in his performance, and listening to the story behind the song and the art gives a whole other level of understanding and appreciation.
Oooowee! Brilliant, raw, real🙌🏾
epic
and thank you for the beautifully done poetry subtitles,
i am hard of hearing it really helps
Wow... Didn't think a rap song would make me cry... That was beautiful.
ECCELLENT performance, I wish Moses sumney was here for the live performance to add the magic he did on the studio version. Proud of chance
Breathtaking… thank you… ❤️ 🎶 ♥️ ✊🏾 🖖🏾
I don’t even care much for a rap, but this is amazing 🤩
Chance is just a tapestry of artistry, collaboration, intelligence and performance.
I LOVE this song! If anyone wants to see more, his Tiny Desk Concert is also incredible!
leave your plans in man's hands and it gets manhandled🔥
That took my breath away
