LuvSik - City Child Lyrics

18 years spent as resident
Here in Chicago where we love to represent
To fullest extent yes we do it with intent
From the north side to the south side we get live at sunset
To sunrise we're just vibing surviving
And it feels good to be alive in the hood that I'm in
Shinning all night-bright it's the city lights
Uplifting my spirit and giving me insight
No I'll never reach my limit 'cause she has me gripped tight
Chained to the pain by the strains of my wind pipe
Sit right next to me I want to be
In this part of the galaxy for the rest of infinity
Fulfilling my fantasy isn't much of a challenge see
I'm surrounded by the beautiful humans I call you family
Happily moving in and out of my room
While gradually losing' myself in the loop
Walking in circles word searching for the truth
And It lurks at the very top of the highest roof

I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues
I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues

I'm on the corner of my block yelling love the world
'Cause this is the spot for every interrupted boy and girl
Avoiding the whirl winds as we swerve around lake Michigan again
I'm on a mission with some friends
My winter's discontent will be spent reminiscing
On when I was an infant living on Belmont and Halstead
As if Chicago was a woman I would've kissed her on the head
Licked her down the neck and pressed up against her chest
Index in her cervix her broad curves make me nervous
So It's tough love on purpose 'cause I don't hurt for other persons
On picture perfect evenings we deem things with words and
Burners on buildings you can read me for certain
Searching for a new look in the county of cook
Can be a complicated topic leaving out o' towners shook
Ya'll took too much time trying to find paradise
In a pair of dice heh now where's your ice
Falling from the skies like storms of snow
It's my life it's my love It's my Chicago

I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues
I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues

Two turntables and a microphone
Is all I ever knew as I grew old
When I was younger
The lake front was my home
And in the summer
I wrote her name with aerosol
There was so much to learn to absorb to observe
I discovered myself within the sounds that I heard
In my surroundings
The acoustics were astounding
Pounding up and down my street
Singing out loudly
I'm proud to announce that this is where I'll be
'Cause I haven't left the house since '93
When I was five I almost moved back to Cali
But on the west side There's No Such thing as being happy
And it just becomes a habit like smiling and laughing
This city is sweet and my girls name is
773 and 312
It's McDonalize Society and Maintenance Crew
She's my truthful lady bringing life to this baby
And I only love Chicago at the end the daily

I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues
I thought I told you all they tell you is old news
And everyday's another issue like the windy city blues
