Chance shares the moment “when he decided to commit to a life of joyful purpose. “When I was younger, my grandma said a prayer over me that damn near sounded like a curse,” Chance explains. Apparently the pseudo-curse was bestowed about three years ago, around the time of both Acid Rap and 10 Day, when the Rapper was “just doing a lot of drugs, just hanging out. I was gone all the time.” So when he was visiting his grandmother one day she decided to set him straight with prayer.
“She looked me in the eyes and she said, ‘I don’t like what’s going on.’ She said, ‘I can see it in your eyes. I don’t like this.’ And she says, ‘We’re gonna pray.’ And she prayed for me all the time. Like, very positive things. But this time, she said, ‘Lord, I pray that all things that are not like You, You take away from Chance. Make sure that he fails at everything that is not like You. Take it away. Turn it into dust.’”
