(Chorus)
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
(Verse 1)
216, 216. And yeah we stay on our hustle, we those cats that stay in cuffs
Cause these folks can't beat our muscle. In the streets, we the long arm
Of the law. From the ceiling to the floor, and back from wall to wall. We stack
Money, stay strapped with AKs not because we wanna. But we gotta live today
We gotta see tomorrow, we gotta stay paid, like how I gotta cut tracks and
How I gotta get plays. And what better place then the city that I claim? Don't
Look for the spelling, but the land is in my name, Im'a take that crown, from
My boy LeBron James, I'm the king right now, and I ain't fuckin with these
Lames. Like a flame, we gon keep on burning. Im a student to the streets and
Im'a keep on leaning. We gon keep on earning, money makings in our
Blood, 216 is coming up, Cleveland, put ya guns up! 216
(Chrous)
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
(Verse 2)
Yeah I rep C-Town, but I bleed H.V.D. If you don't wanna see my bloodline
Then don't fuck with me, cause my boys is like sharks, in the middle, of the
Sea, if they hungry they gon eat, it doesn't matter who you be, It doesn't matter
Who ya is, if this isn't where ya live, then it dont matter what I give, cause you
Ain't never gonna get it, so quit it, forget it, ignore it, it's done
This the only place I know that with it's falls stays number one
In my heart, this city weighs a fucking ton. Though my pockets weigh the
Same, I could live without the one. Homeless by the Jake
Or rich and feeling fake, home just would'nt be the same if it was any other
Place. Im a C-Town rider, a municipal survivor, guns on both sider. Fuck it
Im a fighter. you wanna bring the beef, then homie thats ya choice
When we say raise up, we ain't talkin bout ya voice. 216
(Chorus)
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
(Verse 3)
It's a mad cruel world and I can't do it on my own, so in order to get in
The zone. I just think about my home. We ain't never gonna roam, we ain't
Never gonna stray. 216 on top, best believe we here to stay. From Broadway
Back up to H.V.D, to my peoples out on Fleet, and down every fucking street
7-1 got my back, cause they know that's where I'm at. It doesn't matter where
You at, 216 let's get this cash. I got this itch it's like a rash, It doesn't matter
How hard I scratch I can't get Cleveland off my back, Bone put this city on the map
Im puttin us right back on track, cause there ain't shit this city lacks, except a
Place to put these stacks, and you know ya'll feeling that. 216 stays on that grind
Gettin money overtime, and it's now out time to shine, We sick of standin out in line
So open up mother fuckers, cause we'd kick down the door. Cleveland's
Steady doubted on, and I can't take it anymore. 216
(Chorus)
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
Cleveland Buddy, Yeah the city by the lake
If you wanna holla at me in the Land is where
I stay, Yeah I said It before, I ain't made a
Mistake, I'm from Cleveland Mother Fucker
That ain't never gonna change
