Cin-City Anthem

[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 slums, cop 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 quiet/
So it takes rubber bullets and the National Guard to keep us silent from the riots/
I learned 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 till 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 till I die/
My territory, this is where I need to be/
I can’t leave, I must stay, for my people need me/

[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/
Repping 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/
We from that 513 and we as hard as they come/

[Verse 3]
I’m from that C-I-N x2, 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 something 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/
