Illinois
Illinois (
i/ˌɪlᵻˈnɔɪ/ IL-i-NOY) is a state in the midwestern region of the United States. It is the 5th most populous state and 25th largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire country. With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in central and northern Illinois, and natural resources like coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois River. For decades, O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics.
Although today the state's largest population center is around Chicago in the northern part of the state, the state's European population grew first in the west, with French Canadians who settled along the Mississippi River, and gave the area the name, Illinois. After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1810s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River, at one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan.John Deere's invention of the self-scouring steel plow turned Illinois' rich prairie into some of the world's most productive and valuable farmlands, attracting immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden. Railroads carried immigrants to new homes, as well as being used to ship their commodity crops out to markets.

Ships
SS Illinois (1873)
SS Illinois was an iron passenger-cargo steamship built by William Cramp & Sons in 1873. The last of a series of four Pennsylvania-class vessels, Illinois and her three sister ships—Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana—were the largest iron ships ever built in the United States at the time of their construction, and amongst the first to be fitted with compound steam engines. They were also the first ships to challenge British dominance of the transatlantic trade since the American Civil War.
Though soon outclassed by newer and larger vessels, Illinois was destined to enjoy a long and distinguished career, first as a transatlantic passenger liner and later as the U.S. Navy's auxiliary vessel USS Supply. In the 1870s, Illinois may have been the first ship to successfully transport a shipment of fresh meat from the United States to Europe, twenty years before the introduction of refrigeration. As USS Supply, the ship served in both the Spanish–American War and the First World War, and crew members may have been the first United States personnel to fire a hostile shot in the latter. Illinois was scrapped in 1928.

Ah, this is for my niggas on Saint Clair
Put them choppas in the air!
Ah, this is for my niggas on Saint Clair
Keep them choppas in the air!
They only give you credit when you dead
Fuck your validation
I've putting on for years
I put it on my expiration,
Grab my bread friend and matches
Yeah praying and hit the streets
Get in my ride and press the brakes
Nigga it's push start no key
Just a young nigga with driving, I started out on E
And them young niggas who head shots
Tryina knock you off your feet
I'm talking headshots, yeah nigga headshots
Nigga better go and bulletproof them dreadlocks
Cause when your circle too big it turn into a yule
Letting pussies in your circle will fuck up the crew
So fuck them other niggas who was hating on the scene
They acting like the world ain't waiting on us
I ain't grinding this hard to whip a Cadillac
A nigga seen broken and I ain't going back
So fuck them other niggas, fuck them other niggas
Fuck them other niggas bitch cause we the niggas
I ain't grinding this hard to whip a Cadillac
A nigga seen broken and I ain't going back

Ah, this is for my niggas on Saint Clair
Keep them choppas in the air!
I came a long way from that buzz pass
I had dreams in my pocket fat as a butt pad
Pissing my hallways won't change it for the world
Life's a bitch press bar these niggas doing girls
Heart of a runaway slave, smart as a scholarship
Dirty money showered it, this that black power shit
Nigga this that bad bitch, fuck her on the first night
Wake up and get some head, and been don't pronounce her name right
Push ups and dips nigga, boke up your size
Even know I'm from the city where them skinny niggas ride
West side nigga, east side nigga, pick a side
As long as ain't a homicide nigga
So fuck them other niggas, fuck them other niggas
Fuck them other niggas bitch cause we the niggas
I ain't grinding this hard to whip a Cadillac
A nigga seen broken and I ain't going back

What you niggas know about having no address
What you niggas know about living life mad stress
I'm from where you not allowed
Cold killas ride around
Everybody know king chip on every side of town
What you niggas know about headshots every night
I'm from thorn hill, eddie row, that's the hood right
These rappers from they pantshouse, living good
I was trespassing bandos, living in my hood
When vinnie came out, I was living in my van
But when I hit the club looking like 600 grand
Now my crib in callie bigger than your church is
Hallelujah king chip, put that work in
I know they live by my words, cause my words strong
Kings get they heads cut off while bitch pray on
Before the internet hit the hood, I was in the streets
Catch me at the marathon on the 117, Saint Clair
So fuck them other niggas, fuck them other niggas
Fuck them other niggas bitch cause we the niggas
I ain't grinding this hard to whip a Cadillac
A nigga seen broken and I ain't going back
