Chicago (feat. Toi Farve)

Have you ever been in a situation where you were vibin' with this shorty And irrespective of the length of time, you two shared a real connection It was as if your words were her words and her words were your words And then all of a sudden it was over It was like she just up and disappeared Well I'm really not one to let people into my space like that But there was something different this time And I figured instead of being a man of the world Why not try to settle down and invest time with this one girl Hmm, well here's my story, my ode to Chicago Chicago Chicago... Chicago's got me reaching out Holding on to faces that are taboo Calling out to lovers with faces who look just like you Well, I'm California dreaming Caught up on some shit that has me building bridges into your inner city There you go-you stand tall like my visions of you While I whisper your name Hoping to touch pieces of you Damn, you're beautiful And I'm still feeling you, thinking of you Like broadcasting a mini-series all about you Airing on every station cuz I'm that into you Damn, you got me tryna keep my composure When I'm the one who told'ja that I can't do it and it's over What the hell did you put on me? It's like I owe'ja my firstborn, and, yeah, I'm in that deep I can't think, I can't sleep Like this brotha's wide open So I stay hopin' on a notion That got me chokin' on some shit that I ain't even smoking Feels like this is retarded, the way I stay on my guard My walls crumbling faster than I can rebuild 'em So what's the antidote or the solution? Cuz I'm out of hope and this sentence got me begging for parole Or a pardon as I straddle this tight-ass rope So if your heart ain't hardened and your mind ain't startin' to move on Why can't we walk through your garden? You and me vibe till dawn, you know, like the early morning? I'm not understanding why this is still going on Or why it's taking so long to get into your mind the way you've messed over mine For real, your boy's in chains, literally like oppression Feeling like a slave, like captivity, and I didn't even ask for this obsession All I'm saying is that I'd rather live with the memory of this flirtatious moment With you than to be strung out on the impossibility that you And I will exist beyond this moment So, I'm broken and focused on this component Got me begging God for His atonement cuz your boy's tired of roaming And all I wanna be is the focus of your enjoyment So, the word's been spoken, and you've been chosen While I'm feeling self-conscious being noticed, this need in me is growing Hope is leaving, my tears are flowing, my heart is searching Feels like I'm combing.Meanwhile, you just zoning As my soul is moaning, telling me that you're my omen "This shit is potent," but you just smoking and don't even notice Damn, Chicago got me twisted, feeling like I missed it Like a phone call, but she ain't even call at all, y'all And I'm uptight cuz I'm 'bout to fall. I'm a mess Feeling like a kid at roll call, with stress on my chest like I'mma rag doll Somebody phone this shorty and tell her I'm seeking Her scent's got me geeking Guess I'm still freaking, cuz the week's gone by and it's the weekend I'm needing her thighs, but hold up, maybe I'm misspeaking Cuz my heart ain't breathing Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me Maybe I'm wide open and so is she Maybe I'm just tripping, though, maybe... Chicago, damn, sis you got me open Feeling like a million-dollar baby, my mind going Guess I'm still hoping, like I'm crazy But lately, for you I might be, just maybe Cuz Chicago-you got me trippin,' baby!
