(E minor) (D minor)
(E minor)
Night (D minor) blows, stoves don't
Verse 1
(D minor)
work, hoes at work
(E minor) A warrior, so I wear 'em on my shirt
(D minor) Wish I was free as Che was,
I spend a day buzzed
(E minor) Tripping on heights,
wishing for Nikes in different flavors
(D minor) The age of Kane and Big Daddy,
short- body (E minor) Caddys
Uncles named Larry,
that really never grabbed me
(D minor) My mother gave birth but
she really never had me
(E minor) Left to the hood to play daddy
Raised by niggas named (D minor) Butch,
Scoot or Bae- Bae
With weight so they weigh they
(E minor) status on the streets
License plates that say they, (D minor) motto
This is Chicago in the heyday
(E minor) Similar to Good Times,
I guess that I was JJ
A skinny nig (D minor) ga,
young girls with Penny figures
(E minor) So many niggas,
stacked upon each other
It's (D minor) the black upon each
other that we love so much
Won (E minor) der how many of us
these drugs gonna touch
Used (D minor) to gang bang,
ain't really thug that much
Rather (E minor) have some thick broads
than a Dutch to clutch
Went (D minor) to school in Baton Rouge
for a couple of years
My college (E minor) career got downed
with a couple of beers
Came (D minor) back home,
now I gotta pay back loans
Same (E minor) nigga, same block,
same shit they own
Only (D minor) thing different, quicker,
they click that chrome
In my (E minor) defense, yo, I had to hit that zone
Man (D minor) to man,
I'm good working with my hands
My gen (E minor) eration never understood
workin' for the man
And, of being (D minor) broke I ain't a fan
Now I (E minor) stand in the same spot,
as my old man
(D minor) My life I planned not to be on this corner
(E minor) I still wanna see California
But this is (D minor) my world
(It's your (E minor) world) Yeah

Verse 3
(D minor)
Four pounds and pounds (E minor) of verb
from out of towners
It's hard to stay grounded
(D minor) We stay high,
that's why old folks down us
(E minor) Lost, nobody found us,
the force that surrounds us
Ain't with us,
(D minor) they get us on the ground and hit us
We paint (E minor) pictures of the chains under
their names and scriptures
(D minor) Removed from earth,
only to return through birth
Knew (E minor) this girl sellin' her body,
wish she knew what it was worth
(D minor) Between God and trash,
lookin' in every car that (E minor) pass
With a walk that suggests head,
to (D minor) milk niggas she was breastfed
She know dairy so (E minor) she say
cheese to get bread
In the area where (D minor) it's more
weaves and less dreads
Kinda scary,
(E minor) amongst thieves and base- heads
Said it was (D minor) her toes,
but I could tell her soul hurt
She was cold (E minor) turk',
growin' up she got to know hurt
Very well (D minor) in a world where self-
hate is overt
Her step- father (E minor) that he was Ike,
so her mother he strikes
She got (D minor) to like like minded niggas,
who liked crimes and figures
(E minor) Doin' white lines and liquor,
see hard times had kicked (D minor) her
In the ass, it used to be thicker
(E minor) Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
I (D minor) remember in high school she
had a passion to sing
(E minor) Now she see herself in
a casket in dreams
These are the (D minor) children of crack and rap,
Blacks that lack
(E minor) Self- esteem, yo, we forgot the dream
(D minor) On our Jefferson's y'all,
but we forgot the theme
In the (E minor) Chi, we even rootin'
for a garbage team
(D minor) This queen never seen
herself on this corner
She (E minor) still wanna see California
But this is (D minor) her world
Verse 4
(It's your (E minor) world) Yeah
(Oh, it's your (D minor) world)
(Your world, your (E minor) world)
(It's your (D minor) (E minor)
world)
(It's (D minor) your world)
(It's your world)

(E minor)
(D minor)
(E minor) world)
