LSD - Jamila Woods/Chance the Rapper.mp3

[00:14.410]A body of water inside me
[00:17.330]Reminds me of oceans, though I've never known one
[00:20.570]I'm born by a cold one
[00:22.680]It's only a small one compared
[00:24.560]To the coast, I prefer it to most
[00:28.260]I like water that don't burn my eyes when they open
[00:32.780]I won't let you criticize
[00:35.620]My city like my skin, it's so pretty
[00:38.330]If you don't like it, just leave it alone
[00:42.660]You gotta love me like I love the lake
[00:46.170]You wanna love me, better love the lake
[00:49.880]You gotta love me like I love the lake
[00:53.850]You wanna love me, better love the lake
[00:57.250]You didn't think I really had it like that
[01:01.330]You ain't think we really had it like that
[01:04.920]You didn't think I really had it like that
[01:08.150]Matter fact, we can swim in it
[01:11.560]I know you wanna get in it
[01:13.340]Get on the highway, highway, baby
[01:20.570]Look at it my way, my way, baby
[01:28.210]See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
[01:34.700]And we don't ever leave the ground
[01:38.240]No, no, no
[01:39.230]No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[01:43.320]This here ain't for no Vice doc
[01:45.500]This here ain't for no Spike op
[01:46.760]But since I was one like a cyclops
[01:48.570]I run up some stairs on a bike cop
[01:50.500]I shake up some hands on the right block
[01:52.350]Block club president, night watch
[01:54.050]My shit was real when the mic dropped
[01:55.910]I put 'em in my wheel like a bike lock
[01:57.970]Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
[02:01.040]I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our shit
[02:05.110]We the number one gentrified
[02:06.160]Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi t**s' perky
[02:08.700]Face lift and makeshift spaces
[02:10.660]Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
[02:13.190]Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
[02:16.360]Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
[02:19.920]And I'm supposed to father my daughter?
[02:22.010]She the princess in the dragon's lair
[02:23.880]I'm a dragon slayer, I can't fly away
[02:25.370]To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
[02:27.000]Get on the highway, highway, baby
[02:34.530]Look at it my way, my way, baby
[02:41.730]See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
[02:48.230]And we don't ever leave the ground
[02:52.060]No, no, no
[02:53.040]No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[02:56.430]I will never leave you
[02:59.960]I'm everything you made me
[03:03.650]Even when you break me down
[03:06.900]The water always saves me
[03:10.940]I could never leave you
[03:14.230]I'm only what you make me
[03:18.330]Even though you break my heart
[03:21.810]The water's gonna save me
[03:29.470]Chicagoans create this sense of heaven
[03:31.820]In the midst of tragedy, in the midst of injustice
[03:34.610]In the midst of pain, life goes on all of the sudden
[03:38.350]Because what else can we do but move forward
[03:40.700]You know, the bucket boys are still playing on 87th
[03:43.570]The CD man is still walking up and down 79th
[03:47.770]The kids are still going to school, the kids are still playing outside
[03:52.080]That just shows our resilience
