So much better than the shit Lil' Wayne makes. Not a big hip-hop/rap fan, but this song is really good. Btw what happened to hip-hop/rap as well as any other music genre?
Wow kayne is a real poet! He can rhyme without sounding entirely like a rapper if you know what I mean. He's not one of those rappers that talk about meaningful less things like candy shops and hos! He spits about things about life and philosophy.
wow i thot he was talking about a real girl in this video but he is talking about chicago. how people 4get their roots once they start chasing their dreams ( every interview representing u ) just look at hw much kanye talks about chi town in his interviews
I was immediately drawn to this song when I first heard it, that I HAD to google the chorus and see what popped up. No wonder I like it so much: Chris Martin is in it. I adooore coldplay ♥
oh my god it all makes sense! this song is all about chicago, there is no girl, well real girl, he's talking about his city the whole time not a girl! :D i knew some parts were about chi-town but nooooow i get it haha yaaaay i feel like ive accomplished something. haha
@selenagirl14 ...... lol its not Coldplay that's in this..Its the lead singer of Coldplay..Chris Martin..I am a down-heart Coldplay fan lol..but i understand what you were trying to say...
I like the "straighten up their hats cause you know they soft" Hat meaning "condom" and straightening that would mean making it erect. But haha that line kinda went over people's heads.
this song is one giant metaphor or allusion lol, its all about Chicago <3 chi-town is what us chicagoans call the city lol. "Windy" is actually the windy city, when he's talking about meeting "a girl full of soul" he's speaking of chicago. this entire song is alluding to how the city will always be his home. Chi-town representin <3
@Brock1115 . wow i posted that like ages ago, and anyone with a brain knows this song is about the city of chicago. not a girl lmfao dumbass. kanye is from chicago.
Everyone obviously knows that blow trees means smoking weed, BUT in this song he is speaking in literal terms. The song is about Chicago, the "Windy City". This is also why the girl is called Wendy, like the word "windy". Recognize the connection? Yea, so dont talk about what you don't know. Listen to the lyrics, and learn something from them.
Well when hes talking about "Windy" hes talkinga bout chicago adn by blow trees it literally means blow trees because chicago is known as the windy city. Windy isnt an actual person.
this da best man............and the ones who think that kanye is a gay fish...........ur jealous cuz he is better than wat u will ever b.....so don b hatin
and he talks about "lake michigan" omg im from wisconsin and i live like 20 min away from lake michigan so ya, i relate to him. and ermias22 u did a good job with the lyrics!! i luv kayne and this song!!
what? that doesnt make any sense lol. but ya its not that hard to figure out! chi city...fireworks on "lake michigan!" umm blowing trees, it all makes sense...but i guess thats easier for me to figure out cuz i live in WI like rite next to the lake but STILL
