Chicago Diner
KOTA The Friend Lyrics

Summer in Chicago
The season is summer and the location is Chicago

Aye, yah
An exclamation of excitement and agreement

Only here about a day
The singer has only been in Chicago for a short time

Looking out the sunroof
The artist is viewing the city from a car's sunroof

I ain't really trippin' but
The artist is not overly worried, but there is still some concern

I'm hoping that you come through, yah
The singer wants someone to join them and is optimistic they will

She told me that she tryna save up
A woman the singer knows has said she is trying to save money

Coming from Milwaukee
The woman is from Milwaukee, a city in Wisconsin

She gon' make her way up
The woman is determined to succeed despite obstacles

Said she living single
The woman is not currently in a relationship

She don't need no fake love
The woman desires genuine affection and not insincere, artificial displays

If we keep it honest
Being truthful is preferred

We don't need a label
The singer doesn't believe a label is necessary for a relationship

Love is everything
The singer views love as the most important aspect of life

And everything is love
The concept of love influences every aspect of life

Why the pressure when you focused and you young
The artist questions why young people feel pressure to be in a relationship when they should be focused on themselves

But i'm hoping that one day it could be something
The artist is optimistic about a potential future relationship

She deserve 100 and these niggas give her nothing
The woman deserves the best, but many men are not good enough for her

Chicago diner
The name of a restaurant in Chicago

Order what you want, aye
The artist encourages someone to order whatever they desire

Looking like you could be
The person being addressed has the appearance of a model

Like you could be on the runway
The person being addressed looks like they could be a fashion model

You gon' wanna love somebody
The singer believes the other person will eventually desire a romantic relationship

Love somebody, someday
The hope is that the person will experience love in the future

Cookies in the oven on a Sunday, yeah, yeah
The singer envisions a future where they bake cookies together on a lazy Sunday

This one for the shawty with the good hair
The singer is addressing a woman with attractive hair

I hope that you having you a good year
The singer desires for the other person to have a positive and successful year

I hope that you missing all the fuck shit
The artist hopes that the person is avoiding negativity and drama

See you gettin' busy at the function
The artist has seen the person being social and active at an event

Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah
Encouragement to engage in something with enthusiasm and energy

Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah
Encouragement to engage in something with enthusiasm and energy

I feel like we should slide away, yah
The artist wants to leave the current environment and go somewhere else

Someone blowing up your phone
The person being addressed is receiving a lot of phone calls

But trust that we are not the same, nah
The artist is different from whoever is calling the person being addressed

Told me put a record on
The person being addressed requested music to be played

Have you ever heard of Fela?
The artist is asking if the person knows about the musician Fela Kuti

Crazy how we get along
The singer is surprised at how well they connect with the person being addressed

I fuck with you the way you wake up
The singer approves of and appreciates how the person wakes up in the morning
