Lyrics
Cin-City Anthem Written by K-Drama. Produced by Platinum Tips Verse 1 I’m not from New York, LA, or STL, new home of Air Force 1’s/ I’m from the Nati where if you see the boys(police), please don’t run/ Where hood dreams are to make it out the hood, copp a crib and Ferrari/ And where too many fights break out, so they always shut down the party/ Home of the Bearcats & Cincinnati Reds/ Also home of the tre 8 that’ll leave dudes in Cincinnati red that they bled/ Where crews hit dudes and most stories we don’t get to view/ B/c most homicides don’t make the news/ I live in Cin-City where folk can’t be quite/ So it takes rubber bullets and the National Guard to keep us silent from the riots/ I learn something in my history books/ My city use to be like Harlem, but now it’s overlooked/ We was called Queen City, your needs was supplied by us/ We gave birth to the royals, underground railroad, had activities from dawn til dusk/ But all that’s gone/ But I’mma restore my city and bring it back to where it belongs/ Chorus I’m from that C-i-n, C-i-n, n-a-t-i/ This is my hometown, I’mma rep it til I die/ My territory, this is where I need to be/ I can’t leave, I must stay, for my people need me/ (repeat 1x) Verse 2 See I’ll go to the ghettos, send me to the slums/ So I can kick knowledge over treble and hip-hop drums/ You can find me on the block, icy jacket and Timbs/ Reppin’ Cincy, the only letter you’ll glance is C on my brim/ I’mma soon make some investments, decorate ya pavement/ And when we’re done the USA will look at us in amazement/ The people come up the K, ask me to put us on the map/ I’ll go the extra mile to win em’ over, bring em’ back/ Our colors are red & white, symbolizes blood & glory/ This ain’t no tragedy, a great ending will conclude this story/ And we’ll be victorious and celebrate like in the endzone on Sunday/ And then we’ll do our dance, the Nasty Nati’s own, down the way/ Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Oh!! Hold your city up high, represent where you from/ I’m from that 513 and we as hard as they come/ Chorus Verse 3 I’m from that C-i-n times 2, N-a-t-i/ If you ask me where I’m from, that’ll be my reply/ A lot of people, all they look at is the negative/ But if you ask me I’ll say, “This is the place to live.” See, “I love my city!!!!” This is my 1st home/ It’s time to start somethin’, and uh, let it be known/ In the Nati we bout to start a revolution/ The place that everybody talks about, that C-I-n/ That city that made headlines on CNN/ Zone 15, the hood where almost everybody’s kin/ K-Heights, E-Town, Down the Way, Brick City/ C-Hills, Walnut Hills, Roselawn, Mt. Healthy/ Bond Hill, Madville, Western Hills, Northside/ Clifton, Mt. Auburn, A-1, Lets ride/ Woodlawn, F-Park, Springdale, let us come together/ Make it through this weather and make our city better/ Yo!!! Chorus
