lyrics

[Hook 1]
And unto the world a baby was born
Chi city, my city, I love my people awww
Save money, good music, bang bang
Started in the Chi, now we worldwide nigga

[Verse]
Bitch I'm from that So Chi
Been supposed to blow like
Rich kids in that coke line
That's some shit I don't like
Back before that 10 Day
Been in this shit since 09
Started out Local, till I went global
Went to college then worldwide
Spreading cheese like I'm philly
Even though from I'm Chi-illy
Bruh you got that shit for the low?
No, got this shit for the willy
Whaley, swelly living wealthy
Pockets look like prego bellies
Want that Oprah money steady
They got they shit on R. Kelly
Glory glory allelu
Story story nightly news
Op-Ed for the opp he vicced
They just tryna find whoever knew
Just so they can find the one who did
(We ain't seen shit)
Snitches get it too
Now you can tip a trick a treat but when he tweet the streets
hollows follow through
Shit fuck a felony, murder melodies
Bitch we sing about plight
Cock a glockenspiel, stop and watch the spill
Bust the Glock and reload the clock
And in 9 I'm rapping even though I left for some time
I'm still coming right
Cause even though my city popped a pill
That music still came to life
Now that's a birth you can't control
Can't run in my town without the sole
And what the fuck is a green without the go
I'm tryna get that gleam I'm tryna glow
I'm all about that solar I, polar, bi, ocean
Lake Michigan so Sinatra, my kind of town
Sometimes we smile sometimes we frown
We lost some days some days we found
I'm sorry I ain't been around
Some days head down
Cause either a soldier died
Or we're just waiting for the crown

[Hook 2]
And unto the world a baby was born
Chi city, my city, I love my people awww
Made money, made music, bang bang
Born to die for them niggas aaawww
