Chicago

[Interlude]
See, I'm from Chicago
And, and everybody from Chicago tends to have a complex
Learn don't ever step nobody down just 'cause he don't act like, look like what you think he should
Don't ever mistreat nobody 'cause they hair ain't the right color or they clothes ain't as neat
Or they ain't standing up like you
'Cause all of us had the same universe before down inside of us
And you failed to see that
Just see my garments, you in trouble
(He said, "Why don't you leave?")
I learned don't ever step nobody down just 'cause he don't act like, look like what you think he should
I'll be glad when you ladies just take it in well, we men done messed it up so bad
Everything normal, we make it abnormal
Everything abnormal, we make normal
I know now that there is a universes for us that controls whole thing
Call it anything you want, call it
One day it's gonna balance out all of our ledgers
And it's gon' be a simple question
'Bout how much money did you make
Was you funny? Did they like you?
Were you a celebrity?
Who is your mother? Who is your father?
Where did you live? What school did you go to?
Where'd you send your kids to school?
Gon' ask one simple question and all of us gon' have to deal with it
How much service did you give to your fellow human beings?
Just that simple and just that sweet
And it's gon' be a simple question
'Bout how much money did you make
Was you funny? Did they like you?
Were you a celebrity?
Who is your mother? Who is your father?
Where did you live? What school did you go to?
Where'd you send your kids to school?
Gon' ask one simple question and all of us gon' have to deal with it
How much service did you give to your fellow human beings?
Just that simple and just that sweet
(Yes)
