“Just A Drop” by Chance the Rapper and Jay Electronica is one of the most powerful, politically charged, and theologically layered tracks from Chance’s 2025 album STAR LINE. Chance highlights how some folks just need enough to bathe or cook, but the system doesn’t care, letting water get dirty while others swim in pools or splash in fountains. Then it shifts to land—abandoned houses, family struggles, and plotting a coup for change.
Jay Electronica’s verse dives into biblical imagery—Jesus’ crucifixion, vinegar instead of water, fights with money lenders, and modern parallels like social media bans or being labeled a “hate group.” Together, they’re saying oppression hasn’t changed much from history to now, but with faith and unity, they’re ready to fight. This track blends Chance’s high-energy flow with Jay’s deep, poetic storytelling, making it a standout. Read the Just A Drop lyrics below and experience the magic of emotion.

Lyrics of Just A Drop by Chance the Rapper
[Intro: Chance The Rapper]
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
[Bridge: Chance The Rapper]
Water, Water We Need
Water, We Need
We Need Water, Water
Water, We Need, Water, We Need
Water, Water, Water For My Soul
[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]
We Need Just Enough Water To Bathe In
Just Enough Water To Cook With
They Got Enough Water To Play In
They Got Enough Water To Swim In
They Got Enough Water To Drown In
They Got Enough Water For Fountains
They Got Enough Water For Salmon
Well, We Need Enough Water For A Courtesy Cup
We Need Just Enough Water For Emergency Stuff
They Don’t Care If Our Water Get Dirty As Fuck
We Need Enough Water, We Could Boil This Crack
Or Oil These Chapped Lips Or Coil These Naps
They Need Enough Water To Destroy The Facts
Or Offer You Water Behind Your Lawyer’s Back
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
I Don’t Need A Flood, Don’t Need A Tub (Yeah)
Don’t Need A Cup, Just A Drop Of The Blood, Oh
I’ve Seen The Storm Come (Storms Come)
I’ve Seen The Warnings
I Know He’s Coming, I Can’t Wait Till He Does, Oh
[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
We Need Enough Land To Land On
Just Enough Land To Stand On
We Live On The Blocks With The Houses Abandoned
We Do Hospice At Our Aunt’s And Our Grandma’s
We Be On House Arrest, Smoking Weed With The Band On
We Need Enough Land For The Porches And Stoops
So We Can Lean Out The Fortress And Forge Us A Coup
Tell ’em Gather All The Pitchforks, Torches, And Troops
I’m Just Preaching To The Choir, What A Chorus Could Do
I’m Just Speaking To The Fire, What A Forest Could Do
’cause When Goldie’ In Your House,
Pouring All Your Food Out, What That Porridge A-do?
This Shit Can Turn Smokey, These Dwarves Is Not Dopey
They Got Enough Land To Test Weather Control
Build Babylon Ladders As If Heaven Was Closed
We’ve Seen Every Form Of Weapon That They Ever Could Throw
We Just Need For You To Land And We Ready To Go
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
I Don’t Need A Flood, Don’t Need A Tub (Yeah)
Don’t Need A Cup, Just A Drop Of The Blood, Oh
I’ve Seen The Storm Come (Storms Come)
I’ve Seen The Warnings
I Know He’s Coming, I Can’t Wait Till He Does, Oh
[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
After The Slanderous Propaganda And The Hostile Public Crucifixion
Mm, Just After They Cast, Locks Was Rolled, Put Thorns To Scalp
Stripped Him Out Of His Clothes And Whipped Him
Right After The Show, Trial In A Kangaroo Court
As He Struggled Up Calvary With That Janky-ass Cross
My Lord Cried Out For Water
Yes, He Did
Instead, They Gave My Lord Vinegar
The Price You Have To Pay To Go To Savior From Minister
Shit Really Hit The Fan And The Tempo
When He Tweaked On The Money Changes And Money Lenderers
Him And The Sadducees Argued Over Who Abraham’s Descendants Was
They Called Him A Bastard, They Called Him A Rebel
In John 8:44, He Called Their Father The Devil
Hmm
That’s Why They Banned Him Off Facebook, Probably
The Government’ll Probably Brand Him As A Hate Group, Probably
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper]
I Don’t Need A Flood, Don’t Need A Tub (Yeah)
Don’t Need A Cup, Just A Drop Of The Blood, Oh
I’ve Seen The Storm Come (Storms Come)
I’ve Seen The Warnings
I Know He’s Coming, I Can’t Wait Till He Does, Oh
