Chicago
N.g.o Lyrics

Man, this shit too raw
The situation is intense and overwhelming

Hold on, let me hurry up
The artist is eager to express themselves

I ain't wanna make no Instagram video
The artist prefers to express themselves in other ways

I'm gonna tweet right night now, fuck it
The artist decides to use social media to express themselves

I'm goin' right in, hold on, look
The artist is about to share something important

I was in the street, with the heat since a silly kid
The artist has had a history of being involved in street violence from a young age

And I'll prolly rap 'bout some shit that I really did
The artist plans to use their own experiences as inspiration for their music

Survive whole wars with hoods, only a Sig
The artist has survived dangerous situations armed only with a pistol

And we shootin' shit up sober, I never needed a med
The artist has never had to use drugs or alcohol to get through violent situations

I'm so Chicago, I mean Chi-raq dummy
The artist is proud of their connection to the city of Chicago and its nickname Chi-raq

Only city with more murders than Iraq dummy
Chicago's murder rate is so high that it has been compared to war-torn Iraq

I'mma boss, you can't even talk to me direct, dummy
The artist sees themselves as a leader and expects to be treated with respect

Plug got exotic bowls for like 5 racks for me
The artist has access to expensive and rare drugs

Post-traumatic paranoid, so I might act funny
The artist has experienced traumatic situations and may have a heightened sense of fear and anxiety

Either made it off of rap or you got Pyrex money
The artist believes success can only come from rapping or dealing drugs

Got a Eastside swag so my dialect funny
The artist speaks with a unique dialect specific to the Eastside of Chicago

If Rich was here he woulda never had to buy back Sonny
If a friend of the artist were alive, they wouldn't have needed to buy back a stolen item

Cause we gon' slide 'til the sunny up, tie a nigga mommy up
The artist and their crew will continue to commit violent acts until it's safe to stop

Fill the old semis up, fire the whole city up
The artist is willing to use heavy weaponry to cause destruction

Never gave any fucks, you don't get no pity chump
The artist doesn't care about others and won't show mercy

Never heard a fitty dump, walk 'em down, hit 'em up
The artist has never fired a 50 caliber bullet, but will still attack their enemies from close range

Take that, take that, dancin' like he Diddy slump
The artist will continue to attack their enemies even if they try to dance away

Want smoke, gimme some, free, it's for anyone
The artist is willing to engage in violence for free, against anyone

Humble, but I'm cocky, scared of me like Fofty
The artist is both humble and confident, and inspires fear in others

Bulletproof the whip cause my son in the car seat, uh, nigga
The artist has taken steps to protect their child from potential violence

Chi-raq with it, stay on top of him like Max with it

And I'm still relaxed with it
Despite the violence, the artist remains calm

I restore that hip-hop feeling and mix facts with it
The artist hopes to bring back the true essence of hip-hop while sharing their own experiences

Tree rep like my city, put that shit up on my back with it
The artist represents their city and takes pride in carrying that responsibility

Ain't nobody like me, guess I'm that different
The artist sees themselves as unique and exceptional

Slide the chopper back, hit it
The artist is preparing to use a weapon

Act like I'm defensive, then react with it
The artist will pretend to be defensive before attacking their enemies

I know the real react, so I react different
The artist has experience with violent situations and approaches them in a unique way

Had a hundred-thousand, 18
At 18 years old, the artist had a hundred thousand dollars

Ain't want a deal, I had the pack shipping
The artist made money by selling drugs instead of pursuing a record deal

My freshmen year of high school, I was Ac' sippin'
The artist began using drugs at a young age

Tried cut that shit, I lost Max and started back sippin'
The artist attempted to quit using drugs but was unsuccessful and began using again after losing a friend

Die for Pookie, Slim, before rap, my favorite pack sniffer
The artist is loyal to their friends and would die for them

He gon' let us know it's real thraxx, so we can tax niggas
A friend of the artist will inform them about the authenticity of drugs so they can make more money

Why they posted up with rats, like they dap snitches
The artist questions why people associate with snitches

Ain't get killed the first time, now he back snitching
The artist has encountered people who didn't suffer consequences from snitching and are now doing it again

I got niggas out in max, doing max sentences
The artist has friends serving time in maximum security prisons

It's G Herbo, and I know all the Chi-raq menaces
The artist is G Herbo and is familiar with the dangerous people in Chi-raq
