Only Brother(Prod. LudLow) - Taylor Bennett/Chance the Rapper.mp3

[00:19.35]You are very special
[00:25.59]You're special too
[00:31.46]Black boys south side of the map
[00:33.00]Nappy headed, sharing rooms in the back
[00:34.54]Back then when Michael still wasn't black
[00:36.09]But we loved him anyway 'cause Hammer was wack
[00:37.78]In Gary, Indiana ain't far from the manor
[00:39.57]One use baking soda, other Arm & Hammer
[00:40.96]Both had broken doors, both had broken families
[00:42.41]I look at Michael and look at Chano
[00:43.65]No samples, examples of all of that
[00:45.25]Kirk Franklin, Gucci, and all the trap
[00:46.70]When Barney and white tees were starter packs
[00:48.29]Big bro would still moonwalk in all of that
[00:49.74]Not looking for fame or an autograph
[00:51.24]Or a co-sign or record deal, baller pass
[00:52.93]And you could put that through the polygraph
[00:54.53]Chains, rings, bling, never meant a thing to the king
[00:56.72]Now how crazy is that?
[00:57.86]Young bro, he can rap too, he can trap too
[00:59.51]I was flippin' a pack
[01:01.06]Till Chano told me you can do this and rap
[01:02.25]
[01:02.70]You are very special
[01:09.02]You're special too
[01:14.32]Everyone is special
[01:21.54]This I know is true
[01:25.37]When I look at you
[01:27.46]
[01:27.66]Daddy got a job at the White House
[01:29.81]He still in the hood with the pipes out
[01:31.06]Chano didn't get home till it's light out
[01:32.05]Probably on an ave with the bikes out
[01:33.94]I'm runnin' through this paper like whiteout
[01:35.63]Tryna count it up fore' it's lights out
[01:37.14]Tryna get the Nikes 'fore it's nice out
[01:38.43]Tryna get the peli with the white feel
[01:39.48]Used to make bands off of night shows
[01:40.57]Way before bands and Tonight Shows
[01:41.68]We was on cameras and iPhones
[01:42.82]How could we rival? We Cain and Abel, the Bible
[01:44.71]You cannot take away vital, this is survival
[01:47.06]I'm from south side of Chicago
[01:48.16]We call our brothers our fathers
[01:49.16]My homies hustlers and robbers
[01:50.25]Most of 'em booked or got shot up
[01:51.45]Growin' up they had it hardest
[01:52.64]
[01:53.52]And I was trippin', Chano got me back into the vision
[01:55.37]Told me, "Listen, you gon' have to make decisions
[01:56.76]Everyone you make is gon' make a difference
[01:58.35]What's your vision? How you livin' when you fifty?
[01:59.85]Six feet under or sixty up like Diddy?
[02:01.54]Biggest in the world or biggest in the city?
[02:02.98]You can be the boss if you makin' commission
[02:04.48]And runnin' my business like a politician
[02:05.93]And still keep it real if there's no pot to piss in
[02:07.62]And love what you do, if you don't, you'll regret it
[02:09.26]And never give up if you want to go get it"
[02:10.31]
[02:10.65]You are very special
[02:18.33]You're special too
[02:22.46]Everyone is special
[02:30.17]This I know is true
[02:34.00]When I look at you
[02:36.19]
[02:36.39]Chano got a tour with Gambino
[02:37.50]I'm still in the hood, King Gyros
[02:39.39]Hangin' with the G's like D Rose
[02:40.43]Look at life like an ant through a peephole
[02:42.70]Tryna make it big, **** a free show
[02:44.29]Want a sold out crowd, no weak hoes
[02:45.79]Bad ******* on my dino
[02:46.83]That's the life back then, we didn't even know
[02:49.53]From the low, to the dro, to the c-notes
[02:50.47]To worship Porsches and casinos
[02:52.12]To dreamin' in class, **** a diploma
[02:53.66]I was sellin' out shows in my teen moments
[02:55.20]Look, I been staking out for days
[02:56.89]I think Chano Moses with the waves
[02:58.39]I think that Yeezus might've rose again
[02:59.89]I can hear Victor howlin' in the wind
[03:01.28]Is it too late to do it all again
[03:02.73]When your repetition is reputation's best friend?
[03:04.37]I get motivated off of revenge
[03:06.06]And I'm the youngest, Michael Jackson my kin
[03:07.55]Writing like it was a message to give
[03:09.20]And walking like it was a legend to live
[03:10.75]And never takin' seconds, record after record
[03:12.64]I'ma wreck one after this, uh
[03:14.03]Ice, ice on the wrist, uh
[03:15.38]I was working, sold a chip, uh
[03:16.92]Should have worked the nine to six, uh
[03:18.46]But this music **** a gift, uh
[03:20.01]Ice, ice on the wrist, uh
[03:21.61]I was working, sold a chip, uh
