Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Food and liquor stores rest on every corner
From 45th and State to the last standing Henry Horner
J&J's, Harold's Chicken, good finger lickin'
While they sin, gin, sin sin at Rothschild's and Kenwood Liquors
The winos crooked stagger meets the high stride of the youth
Searchin' for the truth
They rebel and raise hell across alleyways and in classroom settings
They get, high off that trunk bass and 20/20 rims
They rock braids, Air Force Ones, and Timbs
They drink Hennessy, Hypnotiq, and 40's
They call they women hoes, bust downs, and shorties
They keep funeral homes in business and gunshot wards of hospitals full
Prisons packed, bubblin' over in brown sugar
They keep empty, Westside lots crowded, hype's powdered
The well is running dry
The days of Malcolm and Martin have ended
Our hope has descended and off to the side
Waiting for the reinstallment of the revolution
Because we are dying at the cost of our pollution
But God has another solution, that has evolved from the 'hood
I present one who turns, the Fiasco to good
[Verse 2]
A'uzu billahi min ash shaitani r rajimi
Bismi 'llahi 'r-rahmani 'r-rahim
[Verse 3]
Dedicated to my grandmother
Peace! And much love to you
Yeah, and it start
[Verse 4]
1st and 15, proudly present
You know what it is
See, I got this philosophy right
I think the world and everything in it
Is made up of a mix, of two things
You got your good, ya know, and your bad
You got your food and your liquor
That's right, chilly chill
You already know, it's a long time comin'
I give you my, I give you my heart
My soul, my mind, my thoughts, my feelings
My experience, nothing more and nothing less
Yes, FNF, uh-huh, so
With no further ado
[Verse 5]
