Empty Space (John Kitover Chicago Anthem)

[Intro] (Crisp, heavy hip-hop drum beat starts) (Sub-bass humming quietly) [Verse 1] Check my phone, read the city news All these headlines, we got more to lose Talking ‘bout the neighborhoods that need some love Dreaming ‘bout a leader we can be proud of On the South and the West, every single block Time to build it up, time to talk that talk [Pre-Chorus] We’re tryna move on, tryna find our way Lift the whole town up every day The rhythm’s here, the vibe is strong Voice of the people gonna sing this song [Chorus] Now we’re filling up the empty space Every street and every place A little bit of hope, a little bit of change Rising like a beat in the pouring rain Go to Chicago Mayor Vote for dot com Grow Chicago strong, keep pushing on Vote John Kitover, lift up every space John Kitover 2027 for this place [Verse 2] (Beat gets punchier, rhythmic flow) One step, two step, marching down the road Every single ward in election mode Future of the city in the people’s hands Time to back a vision with some real plans Tax reform talk, make the burden fair More for the schools and the homes right there [Bridge] (Drums cut out, dreamy synth only) So bold, so bright this year Every voice in the crowd so clear Go to Chicago Mayor Election dot com Let your choice ring out like a song... [Chorus] Now we’re filling up the empty space Every street and every place A little bit of hope, a little bit of change Rising like a beat in the pouring rain Head to John Kitover Chicago dot com Spread the word around, keep pushing on Vote John Kitover, lift up every space John Kitover 2027 for this place [Outro] Fill the empty space... (Bass fades out with a rhythmic snap)
