Here is the third song in my series entitled Chicago Hip Hop History produced by Loose Cannon & sponsored by Community Service, Fakeshoredrive & Ynotmydream
On episode 2.5 I take a moment away from my experience in Chicago's Hip Hop scene to give you some background on what was going on in my personal life between the events in episode and the upcoming episode 3
Chicago Hip Hop History is a series of songs from my perspective. From growing up around Chicago legends like the Molemen,Vakill,Rhymefest, Cap D & Juice to MC battles,concerts, and other experiences
LYRICS
Verse 1
Around the same time dude died in Logan
I was barely 18 but I was homeless
My parents bounced, they went down south
But for real down south, Mexico down south
My oldest brother took over my parents house
To this day, I don't know why, but that dude kicked me out
& I slept on floors, futons & your couch
I used to scrap up dollars so I could cop me an ounce
Flip to buy food & smoke my homies out
Back then I guzzled 40's & lived loud
I would rap all day, Hiphop was my spouse !
And I ain't do shit else, I was a fuckin slouch
Man, my life was fucked up and I was fucked up
& every chance I would have, I would get fucked up!
Popped pills, did shrooms but that was it with the drugs
I was going through depression , my life was bugged
Hook -
Welcome to my world ! yeah this is it
Hiphop!
Naw, not that bullshit
Naw!
Ain't no fashion ... no flashin
Just passion, reality & action!
Gotta know what it was to know what's happens
Gotta know what it was to know what happens!
Verse 2
And the whole time I'm weeded, feeling defeated
I looked at my culture ta defeat the demons
I blasted beats & squeezed pens
From the start, I never copied any legends
I just wrote what I felt & I felt crazy
I think the liks & the trees made me spacey
Or maybe the empty fridge made feel like shit
Or the eviction notice I got from that bitch !
It's a cold world and I learned that quick
So I got cold & got on my shit!
I wasn't a rapper that was living with momma
So I didn't live dreams, I lived drama
Every day of the week, I was in those streets
Paying my Hiphop dues & making ends meet
Logan, Humboldt park , Pilsen was me
26th, Hyde Park, Rogers park was me
Hook -
Welcome to my world ! yeah this is it
Hiphop!
Naw, not that bullshit
Naw!
Ain't no fashion ... no flashin
Just passion, reality & action!
Gotta know what it was to know what's happens
Gotta know what it was to know what's gonna happen
