Common - Chi-Town Do It Lyrics



Common - Chi-Town Do It Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Pete Rock ]

Get down, get-get-get, get down
Get-get-get, get, get down
Get down, get down

She knew me from the city, she knew I was witty
She knew I had power and maybe some cents like 50
She had a couple cats, I was tryna get the kitty
And if I touched down, I just might do the griddy
This just in, I've been on my Jefferson's, bussin' raps
Rappers, she said she didn't trust 'em
And really didn't trust men, I guess we on the cusp then
Go get your Moscow and we don't have to rush in
Ukraine's in the sky, disdain in her eye that came from another guy
I ain't the other guy, I wanna love you the way I love the Chi (Chi-Town)
She showed me her ex, I ain't have to wonder why
I ain't go down no other nigga, yo, that's Goof Troop shit
Let's sample the day and we can loop it
Filter the worst and save the best parts
There's power in the now, just like Eckhart
Life can take a toll on you
If we fall in love, I'll be holding you up
Watch this rap nigga get all up in your mind
You like ice cream, I like wine, we both refined
Forget the red carpet, our stars align forever
(Chi-town) is where we are in time
This ain't foreplay, I see you on your grind
You mean the world to me, of course, the world is mine

Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)

I'm from Chica-go, come and talk to me
You got me fiendin', I want the average Joe to see
You my lady, forever, or maybe just tonight
We could be crazy in love 'cause shit is crazy in life
It's crazy, when I met you, I knew that I would get you
I said, "Yo, I'm Common and you are extra special"
I could hold you down and never will I let you
If we play our cards right, we'll be alright, I bet you
Wait a minute, I stayed on Bennett and I been it
As the tables turn, no matter how you spin it
At the top of my game, a gladiator
I'm glad I ate her, are you not entertained?
I ain't a lock and chain type of nigga that'll cuff you
I'ma keep it funky, that's something that I must do
And lust you, and trust you, and touch you, and clutch you
The bullshit is cake and that's who we gon' cut through
Summon the queen, you dope and I'm becomin' a fiend
You got me trippin' like a summer routine
All in your grill, meat and unthawin' it still
Makin' love is like music, it's all in the feel
Fly girl, I want you under my wings
Champion lover that could come with a ring
That got a ring to it, you and I theme to it
Don't be shy it, I'm from it and you know how we do it

Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)
Chi-chi-Chi-Town (all falls down)
We gon' show 'em how we get down (get down)

Chi-Chi-Town (all), Chi-Town (all)
Chi-Town (all), Chi-Chi-Town (all)
Chi-Chi-Town (all), Chi-Chi-Town (all)
Chi-Chi-Town (all), Chi-Chi-Town (all)
Chi-Town (get-get)
Chi-Town (all)
Down, get-get down (get down, down)
Get-get down (get)
