On his second single Chi Chi Boy, Luke Dreamhood sings about people living in poverty.
While he was on a half year trip to India, doing research for a project, he met different kind of people. He learned that even the poorest human beings in deplorable circumstances, can be very happy and satisfied about their lives. It opened his eyes on materialism, contrasting lifestyles and cultural differences.
Luke Dreamhood tries to treat everyone with respect and was shocked to see how some citizens not only disrespected people living on the streets, but even abused them and took advantage of their vulnerable situation. Luke uses the nickname Chi Chi Boy as a tribute. This can be considered provoking or controversial. In some societies the expression Chi Chi Boy (or Batty Boy) is chiefly used as offensive slang for street-boys, because street-kids are frequently sexually abused.
On his new track ‘Chi Chi Boy’ Luke Dreamhood looks at the tough life some people have, but are able to survive in their difficult surroundings. A lot of the street-kids run away from home because of hard environments, most of the time they were abused or mistreated and even at their own home couldn’t find a safe place to live.
In conversations with some street children, who Luke met while working for a social project, Dreamhood was affected by the heart-warming and open attitudes. Luke is especially impressed about the touching desires and dreams some people hold on to. The streets, other kids and even some stray-dogs have become their home and family. Luke Dreamhood dedicates this song to them and hopes they will be able to live a happy life.

Verse 01:
Scratch a little dough, sneak into the street.
On the lowest profile, walking on bare feet.
Musing about eating, or a place to sleep.
Often got a beating, ‘batty boy’ weep.
Bridge 01:
Chi Chi Boy, Whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy, Whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy, Whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy don’t cry.
Chorus:
Chi Chi Boy don’t cry, ooh Chi Chi Boy don’t cry.
It’s a long, lost night, near a stone cold stream.
Chi Chi Boy just fly, ooh Chi Chi Boy just fly.
It’s a tough, rough fight, hold on to your dream.
Verse 02:
Roaming on the dump, picking dirty bags.
Living in a slum, made of wasted rags.
Just bearing the brunt, sniffing some cheap glue.
Life feels like a hunt, what else can you do.
Chorus:
Chi Chi Boy don’t cry, ooh Chi Chi Boy don’t cry.
It’s a long, lost night, near a stone cold stream.
Chi Chi Boy just fly, ooh Chi Chi Boy just fly.
It’s a tough, rough fight, hold on to your dream.
Bridge 02:
Chi Chi Boy whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy whoo oh, Chi Chi Boy just fly
Chorus:
Chi Chi Boy don’t cry, ooh Chi Chi Boy don’t cry.
It’s a long, lost night, near a stone cold stream.
Chi Chi Boy just fly, ooh Chi Chi Boy just fly.
It’s a tough, rough fight, hold on to your dream.
