Express me well, no better fit,

 From 'Stan Smith' to the 'Shell'.

Whether I'm shopping with a list

 or just cooling for a spell,

My Adidas...I wear them well. 

This is what those three stripes mean,

 One NYC, big city of Dreams.

Statute of Liberty and Carnegie Hall,

 Yeah, all good but it's Brooklyn where I ball.


Two, Paris way above average,

 Which city can say they city is Lit

 above Paris???

Chicago's Sister City' 

 Should have been a marriage. 


And, Three Chicago a city as tough

   as it is mean,

make it out of there you really living

    a dream.

Shoes fit for a King.

 All of this and more is what those

  those 'Three Stripes' mean.
