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 n***a 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 n***as 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)
