I can hear Chicago crying Tears falling from her eyes Every day she witness some of her die Gangbanging, block wars, claiming victims Homelessness, poverty, broken systems These streets ain't treating her right Killing her boys in broad daylight Cocaine, pimpin' her girls Got'em hookin', day and night Life is hard Got shallow graves in the backyard In to it, driveby shootings from police cars Moma laying on that coffin, screaming While Rahm Emanuel, sitting in his office Playing with his thumbs, plottin' Scheming Her people done lost their minds Lost that go, lost that grind Can't keep that the boat afloat Lost that will, lost that shine Looking for identity Sixteen shot brutality Innocent the cop a plea Where is the morality? Fakaz, takaz, murderaz, rapaz Nobody wanna do good Hataz, traitaz Spare the rod, now everybody wanna know why? The gun violence in the Chi is at a all time high Drinking blood, the sidewalk says it's last goodbyes The curtains close And I can hear Chicago cry I can hear Chicago crying Tears falling from her eyes Every day she witness some of her babies die I can hear Chicago crying The tears, the fears, the death appears I can hear Chicago crying Tears falling from her eyes Every day she witness some of her babies die I can hear Chicago crying The tears, the fears, the death appears This city's partially segregated Black hated The rich, the cops, and the legislative Committing gentrification Throughout my community Destroying black families with impurities They got me trapped like a rock In a hard place About to depopulize the human race Trump is, ready to send in his troops But not to patrol, but to come and shoot Who will help us when it's time for judgment? Not the police, the army, or the government Chicago, Chicago not a wonderful town It will be thousands of bodies laid on the ground The youth of today is to slow to know The only way, black people will grow Is to become culturally aware And most about Black unifying Chicago cryin' I can hear Chicago crying Tears falling from her eyes Every day she witness some of her babies die I can hear Chicago crying The tears, the fears, the death appears Day by day, her children gets to see that life ain't fair They close her schools And no one even seems to care Grave plots, have now become the home for tots Vacant lots, have takin over her city blocks Her county jail, is overpopulated Her taxes have Inflated Her neighborhoods, devastated Drug infested what could she do? Her children are being molested Funding coming to the hood She might as well forget it Her city officials, they pocket all her money Her grass ain't even green Her days, are never sunny Violence escalated when they tore her projects down They stole her soul Now they wanna burn her to the ground Her people are hungry, they starving Off minimum wage Bring in the anger of the fury Now they're in a daze She done lost all her spirits So she cry Arrivederci, sayonara, goodbye I can hear Chicago crying Tears falling from her eyes Every day she witness some of her babies die I can hear Chicago crying The tears, the fears, the death appears
