We Run This

[CHORUS]
This is our city, who the victims now, (we run this)/
and cant no government system hold us down/
were you from, (Chicago), were you from, (Chicago)/
were you from, (Chicago), were you from, (Chicago)/
this is our city, bang our test and youll die/
cause it aint worth reppin if it aint reppin the Chi/
so Eastside (rep), Westside (rep)/
Northside (rep), Southside (rep)
[VERSE]
You know it is/
(here it comes), like flames back in the Chicago fire/
(we begun), came on attack brang memories through the cypher/
(already won), slained on the track killed through the wire/
reigned from the bottom so I can only build higher/
(live) from the city that brought the game to its best/
Chicago the home of TONGUE TWIST and KANYE WEST/
what did you expect, this is Americas murder capitol/
Americas lyrical threat, destroyin Americas capital/
its factual, peep the individual hooks I blast daily/
what we doin about these criminals and crooks ask DALEY/
maybe, people will now actually listen ta whats written/
rap ta whats spittin and diss this wack system of capitalism/
see they tryin ta say we pollute wit rhymes spit in the booth/
man this is real Hip-Hop we speak ta the mind of the youth/
now, (rep Chicago), the city of sports fanatics, whores and addicts/
of course its tragic, when I bring the torch and attack it/
come on talk ta me, your flows off ta me/
if you aint about that bullshit then WALK WIT ME/
I don't wanna hear about ya area, ya troops, and crime scenes/
I wanna hear MASS HYSTERIA, JUICE, PRIME, and RHYME SCHEME/
its my dream, ta resurrect the game wit biblical raps/
and disinfect the shame from these typical cats/
so for emcees, tryin ta put an end to our power/
please, Bin Laden wouldn't even attempt ta crash through our towers
