Chicago (Radio Edit) [feat. Toi Farve] Video (MV)

Have you ever been in a situation where you were vibin' with this shorty
And irrespective of the length of time
You two shared a real connection
It was as if your words were her words and her words were your words
And then all of a sudden it was over
It was like she just up and disappeared

Well I'm really not one to let people into my space like that
But there was something different this time
And I figured instead of being a man of the world
Why not try to settle down and invest time with this one girl

Hmm, well here's my story, my ode to Chicago

Chicago. Chicago...

Chicago's got me reaching out
Holding on to faces that are taboo
Calling out to lovers with faces who look just like you
Well, I'm California dreaming
Caught up on some shit that has me building bridges into your inner city
There you go-you stand tall like my visions of you
While I whisper your name
Hoping to touch pieces of you
Damn, you're beautiful
And I'm still feeling you
Thinking of you
Like broadcasting a mini-series all about you
Airing on every station cuz I'm that into you

Damn, you got me tryna keep my composure
When I'm the one who told'ja that I can't do it and it's over
What the hell did you put on me?
It's like I owe'ja my firstborn
And, yeah, I'm in that deep
I can't think, I can't sleep
Like this brotha's wide open
So I stay hopin' on a notion that got me
Chokin' on some shit that I ain't even smoking
Feels like this is retarded
The way I stay on my guard
My walls crumbling faster than I can rebuild 'em
So what's the antidote or the solution?
Cuz I'm out of hope and this sentence got me begging for parole or a pardon
As I straddle this tight-ass rope

So if your heart ain't hardened and your mind ain't startin' to move on
Why can't we walk through your garden?
You and me vibe till dawn, you know, like the early morning?
I'm not understanding why this is still going on
Or why it's taking so long to get into your mind the way you've messed over mine
For real, your boy's in chains, literally like oppression
Feeling like a slave, like captivity, and I didn't even ask for this obsession

All I'm saying is that I'd rather live
With the memory of this flirtatious moment
With you than to be strung out on the impossibility
That you and I will exist beyond this moment
So, I'm broken and focused on this component
Got me begging God for His atonement cuz your boy's tired of roaming
And all I wanna be is the focus of your enjoyment
So, the word's been spoken, and you've been chosen
While I'm feeling self-conscious being noticed
This need in me is growing
Hope is leaving, my tears are flowing
My heart is searching, feels like I'm combing
Meanwhile, you just zoning, as my soul is moaning
Telling me that you're my omen
"This shit is potent," but you just smoking and don't even notice

Damn, Chicago got me twisted, feeling like I missed it
Like a phone call, but she ain't even call at all, y'all
And I'm uptight cuz I'm 'bout to fall
I'm a mess
Feeling like a kid at roll call, with stress on my chest like I'mma rag doll
Somebody phone this shorty and tell her I'm seeking
Her scent's got me geeking. Guess I'm still freaking
Cuz the week's gone by and it's the weekend
I'm needing her thighs, but hold up
Maybe I'm misspeaking cuz my heart ain't breathing
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me
Maybe I'm wide open and so is she
Maybe I'm just tripping, though, maybe...
Chicago, damn, sis you got me open
Feeling like a million-dollar baby, my mind going
Guess I'm still hoping, like I'm crazy
But lately, for you I might be, just maybe
Cuz Chicago-you got me trippin,' baby!
