Step into the soulful depth of No More Old Men, a heartfelt collaboration between Chance the Rapper and fellow Chicago creative Jamila Woods, from Chance’s second studio album, Star Line, set for release on August 15, 2025. Known for weaving poetic storytelling with gospel-infused hip-hop, Chance brings a grounded honesty here, while Jamila’s warm, ethereal vocals add a layer of grace and reflection. Together, they craft a piece that feels both personal and universal, touching on themes of growth, renewal, and letting go of outdated ways.
Unlike the breezy nostalgia of Ride or the vibrant urgency of Tree, No More Old Men slows the pace, inviting listeners to sit with its message and melodies. As Star Line shapes up to be Chance’s most introspective project yet, this track stands out as a moment of quiet strength and poetic resolve. Immerse yourself in the No More Old Men lyrics below and experience the beauty of Chicago artistry at its finest.

Lyrics of No More Old Men by Chance the Rapper
[Intro]
I Was In Need
I Was In Need
I Remember A Long Time Ago
I Remember A Long Time Ago
Long
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
They Say Chi Don’t Dance No More
And The Little Kids Don’t Got A Chance No More
They Ain’t Even Tryna Free The Old Man No More
One Day There Won’t Be No Old Man No More
[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]
Mr. Darden Used To Take The Bus Over From Halsted
Mr. Harper Used To Be So Exhausted
The Barbershop Bustling, Bootleg Lacoste Fits
Forget The Dvds, They Tryna Get That Golf Drip
Freckles, Bifocals And Kangol Hats
Spinning Stories ’bout Blocks That They Can’t Go Back
Singin’ Songs About The Women That They Can’t Hold Back
They Used To Rub ’em On Their Hair That They Can’t Grow Back
Clippers Buzzin’, Cryin’ Grandbaby Boy Cousin
The First Cut, “Lil’ Man, Quit All That Fussing”
God The Father May Love You, The World Doesn’t
That’s How I Learned To Put My Dukes Up And Play The Dozens
Lessons And The Strategies Of Love And War
Chessboards And King Magazines Galore
It’s A Lot Less Love Than It Was Before
It’s A Lot Less Old Men Than It Was Before
[Bridge: Jamila Woods & Chance The Rapper]
I Say We Gon’ Live ’til Our Hair Turn White
(’til Our Hair Turn White)
No Law Can Find Our Names (No Law Can Find Our Names)
And When We Run, No One’s Chasing Us
Streetlights On, The Kids All Come Back Home (Kids Always Come Home, Y’all)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
They Say Chi Don’t Dance No More
And The Kids Don’t Even Got A Chance No More
They Ain’t Even Tryna Free The Old Man No More
Pretty Soon There Won’t Be No Old Man No More
[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
I Dance With My Father Luther Vandross
We Played Catch So Much, I Turned To Randy Moss
I Had Uncles All Up And Down 79Th
With His Boys Betting On Floyd Every Fight
Cold Beers And Cigar Smoke
Pelle Coats, Card Decks And Some Harsh Jokes
Jacks When They Cars Broke
Sleep In Separate Rooms For Years When They Hearts Broke
So At Least Somebody There If They Start Stroke
I Used To Play Street Fighter With My Play Cousin
Now The Streets’ll Have You Playin’ With Your Real Cousin
They Said The World Didn’t Love Me And It Still Doesn’t
I Guess That “Real Old Love” Wasn’t Real, Was It?
The Present Is Past, The Future Is Sick
The Culture Gave Us Cutout Life-sized Funeral Pics
Where’s Your Instincts, Nigga? Act Like You Forgot
It’s The Four Black Commandments, Man, You Know How We Rock
It Goes One, Watch Your Health, That’s Your Wealth
Two, Watch Yo’ Brother, That’s Yo’self
Three, Watch Your Home, That’s Your Door
Four, If They Want It, We Go To War
In The Distant Future, The Twilight Of Our Lives
Contains All The Laughs And Highlights Of Our Lives
The Knowledge That Could Help A Young Man Go Forth
‘fore The Day You Don’t See These Old Men No More
[Bridge: Jamila Woods & Chance The Rapper]
I Say We Gon’ Live ’til Our Hair Turn White
(’til Our Hair Turn White)
No Law Can Find Our Names (No Law Can Find Our Names)
And When We Run, No One’s Chasing Us
Streetlights On, The Kids All Come Back Home (Kids Always Come Home, Y’all)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
Kids Always Come Home, Y’all
I Say We Gon’ Live Till Our Hair Turn White
No Law Can Find Our Names
And When We Run, No One’s Chasing Us
Streetlights On, The Kids All Come Back Home
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
On And On And On And On, I Know It Go
(On And On And On And On, I Know It Go)
