Numb to this shit Southside Just a little ode to my home city Though I doubt anybody there remember me Besides my family I hate the looks on people's faces when I tell them what city I'm from They look at me like I'm an escapee or something I remember waking up running to the window Used to love looking outside to the fresh snow Grits on the stove bout to go but the windows froze Gotta heat up the car gotta wait some more While I'm sitting on my hands cause my hands so cold Wearing extra socks just so I can feel my toes But I swear I love my city and I always will Even though I'm not there just know the love is real Gotta keep on moving forward never standing still From Atlanta to Daytona got my mind on them bills Gotta build my mind gotta sharpen my skills So when I go back they're glad to have me City so happy cause it's glad it made me Eastside born it was the south that raised me Even though them days they thought yo boy was crazy Used to love the library in those books I would bury I Remember I loved the month of December Windy city looking good looking pure in the winter Guess wearing all white will make a saint out a sinner City no longer red like it was in November It was cold (Aye) I remember it was cold (Aye) I remember there was snow (Yeah) I remember there was snow In cold streets Chicago Man my city get a bad rep People treat it like I left death's doorstep Like it's something I should hide away and forget Every time they talk about it I get upset See all my city people got grit That's what happen when you gotta deal with the shit Rising spreading flower petals up in the ditch So that more can grow and rise up out of the shit Beauty in your midst often overlooked and missed But you gone see this tear in my eye Remember days gone by Grandma said time would fly Didnt believe her back then but Grandma never told a lie It was cold (Aye) I remember it was cold (Aye) I remember there was snow (Aye) I remember there was snow In cold streets Chicago It was cold (Aye) I remember it was cold (Aye) I remember there was snow (yeah) I remember there was snow In cold streets Chicago It's something bout that fresh snow Looking at it used to make me feel hopeful Like the next day bringing something new Brand new day for me and you Something to look forward to Besides the deaths in the news Some kid shot for his new shoes Got them windy city blues Even when the city white We see red at night Looking like bulls and nigga its on sight Gunshots in the moonlight Wake up another lost life Closed eyes they lost light Just another cold night Cold night A cold night Another cold night Cold night Another cold night Cold night Another cold night Cold night Another cold night It was cold I remember it was cold I remember there was snow I remember there was snow In cold streets Chicago It was cold (Aye) I remember it was cold (Aye) I remember there was snow (Aye) I remember there was snow In cold streets Chicago I miss my city you aint gotta ask me where im from cause you heard it You already know off 76th street Love you Grandma Numb to this shit
