Yeah, it's like the summertime Chi

Yeah, man, it's feelin' like, like, like 2005

Like B, 02' 03', college dropout, those were the days

Uh, I remember life up out the Chi

Before 2005, the early 2000s

Living on Campbell, soap in my eyes

Soaking the feeling of adolescence

Toasting my prize

Piñatas.my fifth birthday, 02 in my ride

Then 03, the Black Album and Get Rich or Die Tryin'

My unk and aunt was playing that shit, that's when I had decide

Second floor, back room, my sisters had Genuwine

The classics, Alicia Keys and even B on the side

I had broke my first drum set, wasn't takin' my time

Thinkin' big like I was Triple H, The Rock in his prime

In the flesh, peepin' DMX, I knew this was mine

To seeing Rap City and 106 in Park, what a time

Me and Majay on this PlayStation, trying to kill time

Def Jam Vendetta, Vice City, and even True Crime

Best days of family time, I'm wishing Steve was alive

My cousin Tance had the Rockefeller chain, I was trying, To be me

And tell my mama everything I wouldn't mind

Old Country buffets, Blockbusters, soaking in shine

Took a trip to Circuit City, pray we see another day

Granny owned the building, making sure our family was straight

Back in the playground, in this treehouse, I just knew that I could take on the world

I seen Ye do it, Common, Twista, to Lupe on skates

Push, coasting to my weight, time to change units

Moved into the Burbs, a better day, my mama made movement

Made a better way, summer camps, to cold shoulders

Hoop dreamin' through the day. I done seen so many things to make a way

Trips around the world and learning discipline to be a great

Put my mind to anything and see I'm coming back with crates

Now it's 2024, I'm the best me to date

Back into that kid from 2010, ambitious with a play

I'm the one, that's understate

Can't comprehend second place

The next **** coming out the Chi, to put this shit in shape

This is ambition, competition, **** in my mentions

Mentioning' when you dropping the hottest shit that we can witness?

I just been takin' my time, this is the life and times

A musician who done got the vision, who done peeped the blinds

Of who comin' out, fuck em', I'm movin' these units, word of mouth

Third album drop, this shit on lock, fuck what you heard about, my passion talking

IG rappers out here cashless, walkin, 30 days the same cash

I'm quiet in my reign bag

You focused on what can't last

I'm polishing the same craft, uplifted, my vision gifted

I will never change paths, no sleep, I gotta eat, fighting my inner beast

Be the best, better than ever, better than who I used to be

They done heard me stressed out, the come up, I been blessed out

Flossin', I can't rest now, ain't no best kept secret

****, I'm the best now, taught em, just give me the tech

KD at the Rucker, 2012 Bron, in the flesh

MIA when I step, back in the booth, I'm on a quest

Credible, untouchable, D2X will never rest

Toronto show was sold out, I'm feelin' like Hov now

NYC, the globe now. You can't burn the gold down

I'm in mode, feel it in my bones, ****, we on now

Everything I had to go through in my past, look at me now

Montreal meetings, coffee trips, Olimpico was the best

Shoppers and Winners, seeing the CN Tower, I been blessed

To be this far, I'm making steps, burning On The Radar down In NYC, I'm playing chess

5 PM in Brooklyn, shook em

I've been touring, to be the best, two words is, never quit

Finding destiny, unload the heat for **** who done slept

It's time to go take over the world, the hunger era, diamond quest

I can feel the crevices up in my hands, Ima press

Any weight up off my life, that's causing me to understep with my peace

I'm over stress

I can vividly see my dreams

I'ma be, the best

Uh, yeah, uh, yeah

I wanna see the the be in me

Ain't no tryin' to be

The specialness of my life's motivation

I'll forever be in this home of self, inner self

I can't change the better me, I can finally see

And you say Chi City, and you say Chi City

I'm home, yeah

This project is brought to you by D2X, The Hunger Era

Yeah, take it home
