Folks ask me where I'm from and I just say Chi-town
But on my birth certificate it says different
60901, full of sickos, whinoes, drunks, tryna be
positive
Closer to hell, a little south of the bears and miles
away from the colleges
And ain't grow up in the same hood as Common Sense
And opportunities so usually we're not convinced
That we can be all, that we can be
Nah, the only nigga that made it was good at b-ball,
and shit he ain't even graduate
And that's the norm so the parents ain't that ashamed
To broke to even dream, now ain't that a shame
Safe to say it ain't the best place to be
But I claim like my own, that's my city, that's my home
And I know that once I'm on, I'mma take em round the
globe
60901, that's where I'm from, uh
6-0, 6-0-9-0-1
6-0-9-0-1
6-0, 6-0-9-0-1
6-0-9-0-1
That's were I'm from, that's what I know, that's where
they get it at
That's were I'm from, that's what I know, that's where
they get it at
Folks ask me where I'm from and I just say Chi-town
But if you check my resume it says different
60901, that's where I was born at, and you should
applaud that I even made it out
Closer to drama, no daddys just babymamas and miles
away from Obama's hood
And I ain't grow up in the same neighborhood as Lupe
Or 'Ye, but niggas did move yay to get the loot
Cause the city ain't a city just a bunch of folks
sitting on a shitty situation
If you are legit you ain't really satisfied
And that's the norm watching TV sit and fantasize
To stuck to even dream and even have a grind
Safe to say it ain't the best place to be
But I claim it like my own, that's my city, that's my
home
And I know that once I'm on, I'mma take em round the
globe
60901, that's where I'm from, uh
(Chorus)
