Born and Raised in Chi-Town lyrics
by Isaac Hayes
[Intro: GLC]
A'ight
[Verse 1: GLC]
Now everybody wants to know the truth about a n*gga named G
I come from the city of the gangstas and PD's
A lot of people already know exactly where we on
'Cause it's the home of the lords and the stones
Chi-Town (Chi-Town), that's the name of my hometown (Hometown)
It's going down, downtown
[?] hoes bustin' down
Tryna put clamps on your b*tch? She's leavin' with me
You ever see pimpin' life? I'm from the Windy City (City, city, city)
My pimpin' is doublin' up (Up)
And all of these n*ggas, I'm taking your hoes (Hoes)
Gave her money for a store (Sto')
But instead she bought mе clothes (Clothes)
Naturally, we fеll in- motherf*cker, why you smilin'?
Stop you flickin' in a instant
Up your dough, so
That's how we livin'
Stick you up easily
When I was broke, mo'f*ckers was teasin' me
Can't be a [?], that'll be now
If you're born and raised in Chi-Town
[Chorus: MC Ren, GLC & R&B Sample]
Born and raised (Chi-Town)
B-B-Bor-Born and raised (Chi-Town)
B-B-Born and raised
Born and raised
B-Born and raised in (Chi-Town)
Born and raised (Chi-Town)
B-B-Born and raised (Chi-Town)
([?] take me home, [?])
[Verse 2: GLC]
Now Chi is the place where the players chill, you see (Why?)
That's when I found it was the place for me (Okay)
Way back in the day, when "What's Poppin'" was the sh*t (sh*t)
I had a new pair of U's and some Freelock kicks (Yeah)
I'm in the [?] feelin' on the drunk hoes
Livin' like playa, pull up and I dump hoes
And I ain't no petty-ass clown
A ounce, a cube piece split, or a pound (Pound)
So here's some bass in your face mo'f*cker (Yeah yeah yeah)
Silly, sucka-ass clucker (Yeah, yeah)
Now you duckin' 'cause you know I'm takin' off with your b*tches (b*tches)
My shoes never plain, you lame
Old-ass, figure roll chain (Hahaha)
This Go-Getter sh*t is takin' over
What up to my n*gga Shorty B, get famous
Probably gettin' paper somewhere in Minnesota
'Cause they the type of n*ggas that's finna get paid
I'm cool with the [?] dippin' out West
f*ck sad, and the lil' homie made sense (Yeah yeah)
A badass n*gga never ceases to impress
We're Chi-Town pimpin', motherf*ck the rest
I'm comin like this, and I'm comin directly
Haters don't like me but they finna respect me
So n*gga when you see me [?] about the flow
'Cause I'm a veteran from the C-H-I-C-A-G-O, hoe
[Chorus: MC Ren & GLC]
Born and raised (Chi-Town)
B-B-Bor-Born and raised (Chi-Town, hell mutherf*ckin' yeah)
B-B-Born and raised (GLC definitely in this motherf*ckin' 55)
Born and raised (Hear this, man)
B-Born and raised in (Chi-Town)
Born and raised (Chi-Town)
B-B-Born and raised (Chi-Chi-Chi-Town)
