[Intro: Kanye West]
La, la, la, la, la, and everybody say,
La, la, la, la, la, I know you, I know you,

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
I know you're thinkin', thinkin' that it must be
Armor All flow ‘cause it never get rusty,
I ain't gotta say it, man, dawg, trust me,
Bust somebody head, GLC, where was we?
Still rock the Prada 'fore that, rock the Starter,
Niggas had the Georgetown, the Magic way harder,
Thinkin' back to the projects, and they way they tore 'em all up,
Like when I do a project, and come back and tear the mall up.

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Verse 2: Common]
The broads, the cars, the half-moon, the stars,
I'm like Jeff Fort the way I get behind bars.
Burn CD's with no regard for the stars,
Come to the crib with conflict diamonds and they ours.
Back in '94 they call me Chi-town's Nas,
Now them niggas know I'm one of Chi-town's gods.
We eatin', Joe, you still talkin' no carbs,
A conscious nigga with MAC like Steve Jobs.

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Your fly is open, McFly!
The crowd is open, I think I know why,
I'm back from the future seen it with my own eyes,
And, yep, I'm still the future of the Chi.
Back in college I had to get my back up off the futon,
I knew that I couldn't cop a coupe with no coupons,
Look at that neutron on his green like croutons,
People asking him, "Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Verse 4: Common]
You in the building but the buildings fallin',
You wouldn't be ballin' if your name was Spalding,
My mind get flooded I think about New Orleans,
Bout to school y'all niggas, you should call him August.
I'm the sun that goes down but I'm still revolvin',
Southside walk it out while still you're crawlin',
If rap was Harlem, I be James Baldwin,
With money in the bank like G. Rap, we're callin'.

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Verse 5: Kanye West]
With niggas masked up like Phantom of the Opera
Dreamin' of the day they push a Phantom to the operas,
Can't wait till they say, "Ye ran up at the Oscars!"
Poppa, I heard his life is like a movie
Like when Em played him and Mekhi played a rasta.
Mexicans gonna love it like it was for la raza,
But this is for the mobsters, holla!
We some true Chi-town legends, accept no imposters.

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Verse 6: Common]
The un-American idol, tower like the Eiffel,
Lean wit it, rock wit it, black like the Disciples,
Know when to use a bible, and when to use a rifle,
You rap like you should be on the back of a motorcycle.
Caught a case of robbery, and beat it, like Michael,
Your career is a typo, mine was written like a haiku,
I write to do the right thing, like Spike do,
Through conflicts that's crucial and drama that's psycho.

[Chorus: Common & Kanye West]
We comin' from the South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side! South Side!
South Side, side of the Chi.

[Outro:]
We're comin' from the– Hey!
Spice it up,
You might have to spice it up,
Spice it up, spice it up.
Take your life and...
Yo, we're comin' from the– Hey!
We're comin' from the– Hey!
