Windy City Hea t by lil a

Intro

Lil A

Chicago

O'Block

Real talk

Verse 1

Concrete

Cold feet

Pavement cracking under heavy heat

Thirty shots

On the blocks

Got the neighborhood on locks

Watching mirrors while I'm turning

Streetlights burning

Hard lessons and I'm learning

Mama crying on the kitchen tile

Stretching out every single mile

Missing my brothers

For all the others

Hiding out under covers

I run

I hide

I survive

Keeping that burner right by my side

Chorus

This the life we chose

This the life we chose

Where the wind always blows

Where the wind always blows

Don't get close

No don't get close

I stay ready for my foes

I stay ready for my foes

Verse 2

Sirens

Silence

Witnesses fearing the violence

No face

No case

Put the pedal down and win the race

Black mask

Big task

Asking questions no one should ask

Watch the way you talk to me

Better keep it walking see

Broken glass and heavy debt

Ain't seen nothing better yet

Hungry

Lonely

Cops coming for the only

Real ones left in the pit

Trying to make it out of it

Life is short

No sport

Just a name on a court report

Chorus

This the life we chose

This the life we chose

Where the wind always blows

Where the wind always blows

Don't get close

No don't get close

I stay ready for my foes

I stay ready for my foes

Bridge

Empty clips and heavy hearts

Tearing all the maps apart

Never saw a finish line

Doing all this wasted time

Looking back

Looking down

Looking for a way out of town

Chorus

This the life we chose

This the life we chose

Where the wind always blows

Where the wind always blows

Don't get close

No don't get close

I stay ready for my foes

I stay ready for my foes

Outro

Lil A

Still here

No fear

Moving to another gear

West side

South side

Nowhere left to hide
