Chance The Rapper has revealed more about ‘Ultralight Beam’, his collaboration from Kanye West‘s much publicised ‘The Life of Pablo’ album.
West’s latest album was meant to be released February 12 following a launch event at New York’s Madison Square Gardens on February 11, but was officially released on Saturday, February 13.
Chance has annotated the lyrics to the track through Genius, which you can view below.
Know what God said when he made the first rainbow
Just throw this at the end if I’m too late for the intro

“It’s Chance’s fault the album not out yet… he really wanted Waves on that Bitch… we in the lab now…” he wrote.

The track ‘Waves’ was originally due to appear on the record, also called ‘Waves’ at one point, before West changed the tracklisting.
Chance The Rapper has also tweeted about adding the song to the album, saying: “I fought everyone to keep Waves on the album. I spent all night finishing it. The world is better because of it.”
He then posted a picture of the album’s new tracklist with ‘Waves’ included, captioned “Done. #TLOP”.
