[Intro]
Yo, this is—
This is the windy zone
[Chorus: Olskool Ice-Gre]
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don’t quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
[Verse 1: Oldskool Ice-Gre]
I’m from the city of wind
Long winters, got the snow to my chin
Frostbite, gotta hustle it in
That's the goal, it's like
Everybody was born with thick skin
No form to fit in
The norm is get wins, we work
Inglewood is the section I rep
South Side, yeah, I love it to death
You ain't no come through
I can take you to the fliest of spots
Or to them clubs where you they [?] in the lot
It's yo' choice, wе split
Bougie broads to them ghetto chicks
And thе food you will never forget
It's that good, I swear
Two choices, Midway or O'Hare
If I’m lying, I’ll pay for the fare and carry you there
For real the skyline bring them visitors chills
Lake Shore Drive, where they spinnin' the wheels
The state’s ill, we fresh
Jazz and Blues, we gon' give 'em a fest
And the taste, you ain't gettin’ no rest
In Chi-Town
[Chorus: Olskool Ice-Gre & E.P Da Hellcat]
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
Windy city
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
[Verse 2: E.P Da Hellcat]
Welcome to the place people visit but never leave
Y'all niggas don't really want it, but we got what you need
Best believe, true indeed, I'ma put you up to speed, this week
You wouldn't believe these streets, they damn near bleed
My people hard to read, broke, starving and gangbanging
In a temple full of thieves, we still leave chains hanging
Hard to buy some stone, hard to leave a dice alone
Pictures that Vice is shown of people that's in your home
We Kwame, dirty fingernails, nose to the grindstone
T-bones and tombstones, how I define home
Speak wrong, then the brooms blow, home to the new throne
Backpacked up to the club, so please don't leave that watch on
We live by mottos, like shit only the strong
[?] for pocket full of stones
We knock it, 'cause it's home, if you knock it, then it's on
'Round here you gon' get stoned if you talking that tone
We put backs to anklebones, welcome to Babylon
You fakes are sitting pretty
Welcome to the Chi, the do-it-yourself city, and it's like that
[Chorus: Olskool Ice-Gre & Kanye West]
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
Chi-Town
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Yeah, yeah
I'm like Twista on the rap side
I'm like weave on the trackside
I'm Don Juan on the mack side
I'm Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Paxson
I'm Phil Jackson, this is South Side
They call me Kon, the Louis Vuitton Don
But I still might throw on a little low on
Where the folks and the stones from, DLs and foes from
Same place I get my flows from
Place I got my hoes from
The streets t-t-t-talkin', tell me if you know somethin'
Man, nigga, roll somethin'
Hoes get they juke on when you turn Luke on
Gangsters dance, but'll still get they puke on
Bad Boy' II on and she want to go
I'm a buy the bootleg from the front to show
Watch the DVD in the car cause the way a nigga live
We have more TVs in the whip than in the crib
My nigga sell burnouts, we call him Lil' Flip
Welcome to Chicago, my city is the shit
[Chorus: Olskool Ice-Gre, Kanye West & E.P Da Hellcat]
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go
Let me take you to this place I know
Yeah, yeah, Windy City
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit (Yeah, Abstract Mindstate)
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate (And uh, you know who the fuck I am)
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go (Kanye to the, the Roc is definitely in the building)
Let me take you to this place I know (Chi-Town)
Welcome to Chicago, y'all it don't quit (Yo, Olskool, these niggas don't know we go back, man, we go back like Mystikal's hairline, goddamn it)
Chi-Town, Windy City, be the ultimate
We call it Cold Il' or just simply the 'Go (Oh, E.P. you know you killing these bitches on that rap shit)
Let me take you to this place I know
[Outro: Kanye West]
Yeah, South Side
79th, 87, yeah, yeah
