ChiTown by THRE Lyrics
[Verse 1: Thre]
The city is beautiful, gritty as usual
From the block to the cubicle, they cocking to shoot at you
Knocking your noodle loose, hot ramen noodle soup
Cop being rude to you, do you know what they do to you?
They'll make a fool of you, they don't care who you knew
It's not about who is who, it's power as usual
Black or it's blue to you, suited unsuitable
Colors unmuted, then you discovered the Rubik's cube
Suffering through and through, struggling through the school
Busting they newest tool, they tuck it to move it through
Nothing that's new to you, you numb to the usual
And after they shoot the fool, they come to the funeral
I thought about moving too and thought about you and you
Lord, what would you do? I pray for a move of you
But from the plane as you look through the clouds
The skyline got you looking like wow, Chi-Town
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen & Thre]
On and on, another day
Back and forth, we work, we play
Sky so blue will turn to gray
Beautiful yet full of rage (Chi-Town)
I believe there's good in store
Though your heart is torn from war
Yet still I hope for more
I pray the love of God restores (Chi-Town)
No matter where my feet may go, You'll be the first I've known
The air I breathe, I roam your streets and pierce my soul
[Verse 2: Thre]
The city belligerent, but many are innocent
Way back in the genesis they seen us as menaces
So it was imprisonment, keeping us limited
Can't even begin to vent 'bout all we done been against
Work us like slaves, still don't get us no benefits
Put us in graves, still don't give 'em no sentences
And this why we militant, this how we deal with it
A life for a life, it ain't right but we live with it
And it's just the syllabus, points to how real it get
How do we get rid of it if we live in their will of it
Nights I had kneeled for this, praying they will repent
'Cause sin is the real offense to a God that's omnipotent
Scars that need healing, it targets our willingness
Though it darkens our vigilance, won't depart from our pilgrimage
But from the plane as you look through the clouds
The skyline got you looking like wow, Chi-Town
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen & Thre]
On and on, another day
Back and forth, we work, we play
Sky so blue will turn to gray
Beautiful yet full of rage (Chi-Town)
I believe there's good in store
Though your heart is torn from war
Yet still I hope for more
I pray the love of God restores (Chi-Town)
No matter where my feet may go, You'll be the first I've known
The air I breathe, I roam your streets and pierce my soul
The city is beautiful, gritty as usual

Knocking your noodle loose, hot ramen noodle soup
