Night blows, stoves don't
Verse 1
Dm
work, hoes at work
Em
A warrior, so I wear 'em on my shirt
Dm
Wish I was free as Che was,
I spend a day buzzed
wishing for Nikes in different flavors
Dm
The age of Kane and Big Daddy,
Uncles named Larry,
that really never grabbed me
Dm
My mother gave birth but
she really never had me
Em
Left to the hood to play daddy
Dm
Raised by niggas named Butch,
Scoot or Bae- Bae
With weight so they weigh they
Dm
License plates that say they, motto
This is Chicago in the heyday
Em
Similar to Good Times,
I guess that I was JJ
young girls with Penny figures
stacked upon each other
Dm
It's the black upon each
other that we love so much
these drugs gonna touch
ain't really thug that much
Em
Rather have some thick broads
than a Dutch to clutch
Dm
Went to school in Baton Rouge
for a couple of years
Em
My college career got downed
with a couple of beers
now I gotta pay back loans
Em
Same nigga, same block,
same shit they own
Dm
Only thing different, quicker,
they click that chrome
Em
In my defense, yo, I had to hit that zone
I'm good working with my hands

My generation never understood
workin' for the man

Verse 3
Dm
Em
Four pounds and pounds of verb
from out of towners
It's hard to stay grounded
that's why old folks down us
Em
Lost, nobody found us,
the force that surrounds us
Ain't with us,
Dm
they get us on the ground and hit us
Em
We paint pictures of the chains under
their names and scriptures
only to return through birth
Em
Knew this girl sellin' her body,
wish she knew what it was worth
Dm
Between God and trash,
Em
lookin' in every car that pass
With a walk that suggests head,
Dm
to milk niggas she was breastfed
Em
She know dairy so she say
cheese to get bread
Dm
In the area where it's more
weaves and less dreads
Kinda scary,
Em
amongst thieves and base- heads
but I could tell her soul hurt
growin' up she got to know hurt
Dm
Very well in a world where self-
hate is overt
Em
Her step- father that he was Ike,
so her mother he strikes
Dm
She got to like like minded niggas,
who liked crimes and figures
Em
Doin' white lines and liquor,
Dm
see hard times had kicked her
In the ass, it used to be thicker
Em
Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
Dm
I remember in high school she
had a passion to sing
Em
Now she see herself in
a casket in dreams
Dm
These are the children of crack and rap,
Blacks that lack
Em
Self- esteem, yo, we forgot the dream
Dm
On our Jefferson's y'all,
but we forgot the theme
Em
In the Chi, we even rootin'
for a garbage team
herself on this corner
Em
She still wanna see California
Verse 4
Em
(It's your world) Yeah
Em
(Your world, your world)
