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
