Lyrics

Police siren everyday People die everyday Mommas cry everyday Fathers tryin' everyday Tryna get my head straight This the city of Chi-Raq, get your bed made See death around the corner, boy I dodge him like I owe him I don't talk if I don't know 'em Niggas plotting em on him Boy I lost homies Some died, some crossed on me I love the niggas that's down for me Fuck the ones that send shots on me [?] they rob me just to get the bills paid Niggas working for payout Everyday looking for a way out Released from jail, I'm tryna stay out Pray to God, see how it play out But maybe God tryna test me This life that I'm living so stressful I'ma let loose and everybody in here gonna catch it Cause right now I can't take it Lord [?] I'm gon' make it Cause it's Chi-Raw and my city's lost, I can't fall victim to Satan Please pray for my city, hurry up Please pray for my city Too much hate in my city Too many heartaches in my city But I got faith in my city It's Chi-Raw and I love that You can't take away from my city [?] relate to my city They die everyday in my city Real talk, I lost plenty But I'm still out here gettin' it On the block with my brothers Tryna eat cause we all hungry Walkin' up the wrong block Cause I gott keep some on me Can't trust none, can't [?] he ain't done nothin' I hustle hard for my loved ones [?] then some was but I don't judge Go hard for my city cause my city got it They ain't wanna see my city have it I ain't have it so I went and got it They talk down on my city but my city matter X2 Please pray for my city Too much hate in my city Too many heartaches in my city But I got faith in my city It's Chi-Raw and I love that You can't take away from my city [?] relate to my city They die everyday in my city I'm from that city where forties get clapped The story of [?] Niggas can't shoot so babies get wack That's how it is in Chi-Raq And y'all mad cause I don't call it Chicago I don't live in no fuckin' Chicago, boy I live in Chi-Raq Chi-Raq, Chi-Raq, Chi-Raq Boy I live in Chi-Raq
