Chicago Lyrics by Quarashi

2016

[Intro: Hössi]
When Chicago was safe to have it all
It was real, it was love

[Verse 1: Hössi & Tiny]
Feeling easy and light, like I'm 'bout to take flight
Got all my plans figured, plus I'm sleeping at night
Stole the plunder back, disappeared
It's been twenty-five hundred years
Now I'm back like the copycat
Funded by racketeers
The syndicate renegades, we’re rocking in any age
We’ve been in this game since the Internet early days
Mix business with pleasure forever, wake up the beast
I'm getting so high my mind is splitting the sky like a sheet
On weekends I dazzle, you know I like keeping it casual
Weekdays I put in work like I was building a castle
I try filling up everything
I flirt with the clever things
Twenty-five hundred things
Is plenty for any king

[Chorus: Hössi]
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all
It was real, it was love

[Verse 2: Ómar & Steini]
Yo fuck a raincoat by Gucci, my life is Lucio Fulci
Live in a house by the cemetery, shit, I'm a mercenary
I’m back with that old shit, I fuck with that old spit
Been gone for a minute, but now I'm back on that old tip
Grumpy old man, holy shit, I'm a grandpa
Tougher and meaner, I use my voice like a chainsaw
Pioneer with an attitude
I don’t give a fuck, show me gratitude!

[Chorus: Hössi]
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all
It was real, it was love

[Verse 3: Tiny, Hössi, & Steini]
Strains in my pocket, I'm always strange but I love it
Gotta couple of nuggets just for your brain to start buzzing
Man, what you're doin', I'm digging it, we could build a foundation
I'm just sayin', let’s kick it, and this is my invitation
They call me homie, mad licorice, fresh to death, man, I'm cooling
You know my style is ridiculous
You know we’re keeping it moving
I bump this here for my peoples
I kick a hole in the speaker
And pull the plug like Rakim, I'm the microphone fiend
In the night before I light up and roll up the blend
In this hour see the sun go down and come up again
A little Q back in your life
Yeah we’re doing it right
It was real
So much love
So we came back on them, like

[Chorus: Hössi]
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all (it was real)
When Chicago was safe to have it all
It was real, it was love

[Outro: Hössi]
When Chicago was safe to have it all
It was real, it was love
