C Bm Em
C Bm Em
[Verse 1: Jamila Woods]
G Am
A body of water inside me
C Em
Reminds me of oceans, though I've never known one
Em F
I'm born by a cold one
C Am
It's only a small one compared
Dm
To the coast, I prefer it to most
Em Am F Am
I like water that don't burn my eyes when they open
Em Am
I won't let you criticize
G C
My city like my skin, it's so pretty
Em
If you don't like it, just leave it alone
[Pre-Hook: Jamila Woods]
C Em C
You gotta love me like I love the lake
D C
You wanna love me, better love the lake
G C
You gotta love me like I love the lake
E C
You wanna love me, better love the lake
F C
You didn't think I really had it like that
G C
You ain't think we really had it like that
F C
You didn't think I really had it like that
E
Matter fact, we can swim in it
Em
I know you wanna get in it
[Hook: Jamila Woods]

Look at it my way, my way, baby

See, we can fly away, fly away, baby

[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
C
This here ain't for no Vice doc
This here ain't for no Spike op
D
But since I was one like a cyclops
Em
I run up some stairs on a bike cop
C
I shake up some hands on the right block
Block club president, night watch
D
My niggas was real when the mic dropped
Em
I put 'em in my wheel like a bike lock
C G
Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
E
I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our weed
C
We the number one gentrified
Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi tits' perky
Em
Face lift and makeshift spaces
Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
G C
Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
D G
Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
F
And I'm supposed to father my daughter?
C Em
She the princess in the dragon's lair
Bm D
I'm a dragon slayer, I can't fly away
To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
[Hook: Jamila Woods]
Am G
Get on the highway, highway, baby
Am G
Look at it my way, my way, baby
C Am G
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
A
And we don't ever leave the ground

Am G
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro: Jamila Woods]
G E
I will never leave you
Em
I'm everything you made me
Em G C
Even when you break me down
Em
The water always saves me
Em
I could never leave you
Em
I'm only what you make me
Em G Am
Even though you break my heart
C Em
The water's gonna save me
[Spoken: Moriah Dowd]
Chicagoans create this sense of heaven
In the midst of tragedy, in the midst of injustice
In the midst of pain, life goes on all of the sudden
Because what else can we do but move forward
You know, the bucket boys are still playing on 87th
The CD man is still walking up and down 79th
The kids are still going to school, the kids are still playing outside
That just shows our resilience
