Folks ask me where I'm from and I just say Chi-town But on my birth certificate it says different 60901, full of sickos, whinoes, drunks, tryna be positive Closer to hell, a little south of the bears and miles away from the colleges And ain't grow up in the same hood as Common Sense And opportunities so usually we're not convinced That we can be all, that we can be Nah, the only n***a that made it was good at b-ball, and sh** he ain't even graduate And that's the norm so the parents ain't that ashamed To broke to even dream, now ain't that a shame Safe to say it ain't the best place to be But I claim like my own, that's my city, that's my home And I know that once I'm on, I'mma take em round the globe 60901, that's where I'm from, uh 6-0, 6-0-9-0-1 6-0-9-0-1 6-0, 6-0-9-0-1 6-0-9-0-1 That's were I'm from, that's what I know, that's where they get it at That's were I'm from, that's what I know, that's where they get it at Folks ask me where I'm from and I just say Chi-town But if you check my resume it says different 60901, that's where I was born at, and you should applaud that I even made it out Closer to drama, no daddys just babymamas and miles away from Obama's hood And I ain't grow up in the same neighborhood as Lupe Or 'Ye, but n***as did move yay to get the loot Cause the city ain't a city just a bunch of folks sitting on a sh**ty situation If you are legit you ain't really satisfied And that's the norm watching TV sit and fantasize To stuck to even dream and even have a grind Safe to say it ain't the best place to be But I claim it like my own, that's my city, that's my home And I know that once I'm on, I'mma take em round the globe 60901, that's where I'm from, uh (Chorus)
