Angel

Angel, angel

Angel, angel

I spent my day so, first I pray yo

Then I lay low, lookin' for the halo

Or more yayo, my little angel

Reminded me to stay playful

Faithful walks I take in the woods

Thinkin' what's good, things that I can't change I should

Things I can't, need to be understood

Miss, this is the bliss, I used to drift from the hood

For a second at least, I'm resurrectin' the peace

Pipes that Indians used to like, we called it chief, right?

Steppin' on the leafs right to reach heights

Th-th-that I never seen, it's so, so evergreen

Some use it for medicine, or to write better things

I was in Amsterdam, man, bike pedaling

To the nature spot, to taste the flavors they got

My eyes drop, I like it a lot, yeah, an angel

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm ridin' with my angel

Goin' through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of angels

Oh, I wanna fly, fly away with my angel

She takes me high, she will always be my angel

Th-th-the way that I rhyme, blow n**a's mind

Like the first time you heard Mary J and you were standin' in line

To purchase tickets to see her blow like Chicago wind

And I'm ridin' with Common lookin' for Chicago Zen

And like Chicago winds, I was once a Street Disciple

Rockin' every Jordan shoe, Nike put out by Michael

That made me feel like I could fly, sometimes I wanted to die

Prolly 'cause the angel dust was f**n' with my third eye

So I start hip-hop and I understand why Common used to love her

She got me open so I even had to f**k her

But I used the rubber, 'cause she was married to Rakim

So I bought me a gold chain, pretendin' that I was him

So I can get close to the girl I loved the most

But she left Cali and went on tour with Ne-Yo and Ghost

Big gave her one more chance, and she took Big down

I should've knew it, Shock G and Pac told me, she get around, an angel

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm ridin' with my angel

Goin' through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of angels

Oh, I wanna fly, fly away with my angel

She takes me high, she will always be my angel

Fly away, fly away

My love for her is not about jewelry and cars

I love her 'cause she love me, just for who I are

Who I is, who I am, resembles the rims on the Lam'

I shine like Shyne when Barrington Levy was sayin', didilly whoa

I got love for the streets, peace to New York

And every hood in the East, before I was duckin' cops, gunshots

I used to be an LA Dodger, now I'm a angel

From the city of lost souls, Impalas and polished gold

Between the car and the rims, we got a lot of chrome

Your hood not alone, they knockin', we not at home

And when they bust in, we not Caesar, but got it wrong

'Cause they try to wire phones, I'm talking Verizon phones

The ones they put wires on, they got us on tap

But I put wires on, my Bentley in fact

I spit it through the wires on a Kanye track, yeah

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm ridin' with my angel

Goin' through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of angels

Oh, I wanna fly, fly away with my angel

She takes me high, she will always be my angel

Yeah, it's The Game and Common

Spread your wings, follow your dreams

Things will be so serene, LA and the Chi is a team

Yeah, angel supreme, yeah, keep on

Yeah, it's for the world, boy, we do it forever, yeah
