lyrics

Collasoul Structure

Look up in the sky it’s a bird it’s a plane
It’s those guys on the verge of insane
From the east side
On a murderous reign
Unearth the thang
make sure the
Serpent is slain
We get the job done
Work it through the pain
Can’t call it even the curtains couldn’t hang
Chicago heat on
Burst into flames
Really jumpin
Jimmy buckets
Picture perfect in the paint
Uh
The best kept it’s no secret
You ain’t better than our weakest
Too cold need a couple sweaters when we speakin
You not tweakin
We never getting 4 Seasons
The kids gon be alright
Cause we all bright like neon lights
We bball we bboy bgirl
And we be on mics
The wheels of steel can kill
Check the Beacon light
Uh
When you land
That’s a pretty small flight
When we land Oliver McCall fight
You don’t understand we can do this all night
Making things wit the hands
We don’t think y’all nice

Chorus: Yo chicago get down
We do the things nobody could
You don’t want no problem wit this town
Even when we leave we ain’t
Hollywood
Come through and burn yo shit down
Cause we do our thing everybody good
When we rock the party no sitting down
We rock the party good

I.B. Fokuz

We was raised in mud/ only grit when you face with flood/ everyday was a rush/ but who’s safe when you racing the sun/ Eden Green to Low End/ South Chicago Hyde Park/ Wicker Park/ to Logan/ Bombing Train Yards was culture/ writing my opus/ same brush painting a lotus/
The slang on the ave was coded/ rhymes was potent/ Watching Brick Heads at Bessemer/ wordplay, blue line on western/ Elastic, the stretch was Omni-dexterous/
The catch the was the mitt we left with it/ no time for guessing/ palm every line you threathen/ the arm was the hook invested/ calm collected/ they qualm never spawned a question/
In the street we were night owls/ on lake at the honeycomb hideout/ butterfly for the roundhouse/ Hit the Buddha then sign out/
Rise beyond expectations/ our art was the pill that exposed the matrix/ the script was exempt when we spoke with cadence/ the thoughts contagious/ My city all Go/ & Dangerous/

Chorus:
Yo chicago get down
We do the things nobody could
You don’t want no problem wit this town
Even when we leave we ain’t
Hollywood
Come through and burn yo shit down
Cause we do our thing everybody good
When we rock the party no sitting down
We rock the party good
