Beddy Bye

[Produced by J-Emcee] [Intro] Growin' up in Chicago was pretty D so, there's a lot of things that I remember Bo Squad, uh, goin' to Skinner School, goin' to Jones College Prep Uh, workin' with my dad on the campaign for Barack Uh, No-no, it was just a lot of things, and I have to say goodbye to all of them Uh, now that I'm leaving for Washington D.C., as a lot of you guys know Uh, so, I wrote this song It's called "Beddy Bye", and uh, you'll get the gist of the song as it goes along [Verse] Loose stares, train fares, frooties, chews Big bowls and loose squares Top notch hamburger Miracle workers, juke music and foot workers Dude who stand outside of Old Navy crazy We shop in Marshall Field's and we never call it Macy's Chicago to me, is the kingdom of hearts I dance through streets where a king once marched It's always where you finish, and it's never where you start And I can't outsmart, when we move in the dark This track is hard to listen to again And now I'm swimmin' in thoughts of lake missin'-you-again Chicago I'mma marry you with a ring from Jared's A million carats of rocks, the kids moved above your terrace You were the meeting place of my parents Now my bubbles popped like corn from Garrett's You scared so I leave street lights as night light Leave skyscrapers, high risers and those bright lights I know you clouds'll cry in the morn' So I'mma gonna leave on that midnight flight Beddy Bye, Beddy Bye to the C-H-I C-H-Y I gotta tuck you in Knowin' that there'll be no good mornin' But I say "Beddy Bye" to keep my eyes from pourin' Cause goodnight and goodbye both hurt my throat And it hurts to know, and it hurts to go So sweet dreams, as I head for the sky But I couldn't go without saying "Beddy Bye" Beddy Bye
