dremmz - my chicago lyrics
[intro: dremmz]
[humming]
there’s not enough pride in here…
there’s not enough pride in here+
there’s not enough pride in here…
there’s not enough pride!! (woah+)
[verse 1: dremmz]
back then, the certified hustlers were born
in the holy cross hospital corner of californ+
spent years on 44th
miss 104th
pull up to the roundabout make a right on hamlin
better than taking the bike path on fran+lin
or where the sеmi’s cutting you off like salmon
better than hammond, i miss my homе
off the alsip exit glued to my window
this is my chicago
not the englewood g+ngb+ngers seeking for follows
not the robbin’ in robbins
not the ‘o+block’ option
i’m talking that oak lawn
talking evergreen park
red brick condos was my theme park
7 years old riding five miles to target
thought that we ran the city til’ momma caught us in parking
they thought that i was r+t+rded
just taking time in the garden
i should be held back
but since george bush left office i keep going regardless
[chorus: dremmz]
no homie left behind…
would you just listen for once in the eclipse?
would you just take me a little bit serious?
i’m for real, all acceptance
no guarantee, i’m respecting
cause i think freely… yeah
no i think freely…
(naw)
[verse 2: dremmz]
no i’m not a latin king
i’m not a black disciple
my momma got no ring
my dad can’t afford a light bulb
so how am i entitled?
show me where is my privilege?
i hate to bring this up but i feel like we all gifted in spiritual ways
morally orderly in society
take control of you, i
chose not to give in…
to be a robot in this system…
oh man the irony… oh man the irony…
chicago public schools are like conveyor belts
nothing’s holding me back when the dam glaciers melt
who’s gonna be the first to admit they need major help?
the things that bring you happiness make me hate myself
reminding me of a family that wasn’t broken
before i was hopeless, i expressed myself, i got bullied for it
cause when you standing out…
n0body ignores it, the world is a forest
we don’t use our own minds
we just stay doing nothing but we still survive… right?
[gunshot]
[chorus 2: dremmz]
they… didn’t listen to me…
cause i’m not a thug from ‘o+block’ or compton
i’m not a g+ngb+nger growing up in the projects…
i’m just a normal white kid from the suburbs…
why would anyone listen to a failed rubber?
