[Kanye West]
La, la, la, la, la and everybody say
La, la, la, la, la I know you, I know you

[Kanye West]

I know you´re thinking, thinking that it must be
Armor All flow cause it never get rusty
I ain´t gotta say it, man, dog, trust me
Bust somebody head, GLC, where was we
Still rock the Prada, ´fore that, rock the Starter
Niggas had the Georgetown, the Magic way harder
Thinking back to the projects, and they way they tore ´em all up
Like when I do a project, and come back and tear the mall up

[Common + Kanye West]
We coming from the Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, side of the Chi

[Common]
The broads, the cars, the half moon, the stars
I´m like Jeff Fort the way I get behind bars
Burn CDs with no regard for the stars
Come to the crib with conflict diamonds and they ours
Back in ´94 they call me Chi-town´s Nas
Now them niggas know I´m one of Chi-town´s gods
We eatin´ Joe, you still talkin´ no carbs
A conscious nigga with mac like Steve Jobs

[Common + Kanye West]
We coming from the Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, side of the Chi

[Kanye West]

Your fly is open, McFly
The crowd is open, I think I know why
I´m back from the future seen it with my own eyes
And yep, I´m still the future of the Chi
Back in college I had to get my back up off the futon
I knew that I couldn´t cop a coup with no coupons
Look at that neutron on his green like croutons
People asking him, "do you have any Grey Poupon?"

[Common + Kanye West]
We coming from the Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, side of the Chi

[Common]
You in the building but the building´s falling

You wouldn´t be ballin´ if your name was Spalding
My mind get flooded I think about New Orleans
Bout to school y´all niggas, you should call him August
I´m the sun that goes down but I´m still revolving
Southside walk it out, while still you´re crawlin´
If rap was Harlem, I be James Baldwin
With money in the bank like G. Rap, we´re calling

[Common + Kanye West]
We coming from the Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, side of the Chi

[Kanye West]

With niggas masked up like Phantom of the Opera
Dreaming of the day they push a phantom to the operas
Can´t wait till they say, "Ye ran up at the Oscars"
Poppa, I heard his life is like a movie
Like when Em played him and Mekhi played a rasta
Mexicans gonna love it like it was for La Raza
But this is for the mobsters, Holla
We some true Chi-town legends, accept no imposters

[Common]
The un-American idol, tower like the Eiffel
Lean wit it, rock wit it, Black like the Disciples
Know when to use a bible, and when to use a rifle
You rap like you should be on the back of a motorcycle

Caught a case of robbery, and beat it, like Michael
Your career is a typo, mine was written like a haiku
I write to do the right thing, like Spike do
Through conflicts that´s crucial and drama that´s psycho

[Common + Kanye West]
We coming from the Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, Southside
Southside, side of the Chi

[Kanye West]
La-la-la-la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la, la

La, la-la-la-la-la, la
