Lakeside Grit

Verse 1

Block heaters buzzing through the January slush

Me and big Dre trying not to rush

Thirty-fifth street looking grey

Hoping that the heaters stay

Watching all the giants move in slow motion

Sipping on a remedy a localized potion

Keeping my chin tucked tight

Safe from the lakeside bite

Pre-Chorus

Everything I see I record in my brain

Standing in the center of the winter rain

Started as a spark now it is a flame

Taking all the credit when I sign my name

Chorus

South side to the north

Dragging all the wisdom forth

Milwaukee raised the kid right

Running through the orange light

Brew city in my veins

Breaking all the winter chains

Raised me right

Brew city in my veins

Brew city in my veins

Verse 2

Friday night fish fry steam in the air

Cut my hair and started acting like I care

Hooping at the park till the rims turned black

Ain't no turning back

Four hundred dollars in a shoebox under the frame

Life is just a circle in a cardboard game

Living for the moments that I cannot sell

Finding every heaven in this freezing hell

Pre-Chorus

Everything I see I record in my brain

Standing in the center of the winter rain

Started as a spark now it is a flame

Taking all the credit when I sign my name

Chorus

South side to the north

Dragging all the wisdom forth

Milwaukee raised the kid right

Running through the orange light

Brew city in my veins

Breaking all the winter chains

Raised me right

Brew city in my veins

Brew city in my veins

Bridge

Forty-one highway headed past the stadium

Copper in my pockets and lead in the cranium

Built to endure

Simple and pure

Never looking for a cure

Chorus

South side to the north

Dragging all the wisdom forth

Milwaukee raised the kid right

Running through the orange light

Brew city in my veins

Breaking all the winter chains

Raised me right

Brew city in my veins

Brew city in my veins
