lyrics

[Scratch hook by D-Rec]

(Verse 1)

I am a savage partially because the place I’m from
since I was young I knew the truth; you could get marked here
Put it in first gear hit the gas and start run
You’re home town hero’s only as tough as any nerd here
Devious city one of the most rude its documented
there aint no reason to arrest you so the cops invent it
And when the suns out they'll have them guns out
these kids will spit ya wig and pull the trigger til it runs out
.and transplants never last because they can’t stand The heat
They gotta leave the kitchen - partied til the funs out
Thought they needed change that’s why they hit the windy
Big city living looked appealing til it dropped 50
Fingers frozen, car tickets paying fat taxes
Roads got pot holes and heard you might’a got your ass kicked
Up in traffic for a half an hour..
coward ass will prolly get devoured cracking like you plastic

[Scratch hook by D-Rec]

Grew up by 63rd I used to be a nerd
Shout out to CPS for teaching Louie how to fight
Day and night riding the CTA
like GTA the CPD will kill you, never mind your rights
Where I was from it was TSN
crowns down and bunnies up, and never give a fuck who you offend
my friend Ben was the first friend who met his end
kings killed him with a bullet they just pull and send
Get lost in some hoods we know you leaving in a hurry
Since 91’ no one not rocking a bulls jersey
Anywhere you be you'd be seeing 23
and Wicker park on PBR like it was sunny D
any food desired you can find in any hood
from eating good I got a tire like a Michelin
i fucking love this city never plan to leave again
if you don't like it you can dip back to Michigan

[Scratch hook by D-Rec]

we go Homeless people chilling with a bottle
out in Tent city looking shitty at ya trying to get a buck
No other city got bravado like Chicago
You live or die it don't matter got less compassion than Ivan Drago
I’ll rock a sox hat but I could give a fuck less
About the team just repping south side like i'm obsessed
Shovel a spot up on my block and then ill place a crate
to save the spot, and if you move It , then your face ill desecrate
Pigs investigate a murder every minute
see the murder rate increase and to the peace I am a cynic
but i'm alive and I was taught how to survive
By a tough city you might come to love it once you’re in it
