Woo!
Yeah
[Chorus]
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
[Verse 1]
I feel like Connor McDavid
I'm the wrong one to play with
If a player try to check me
Then my goons have to chase 'em
On the rink I outrace 'em
I get respect from the Greatest
I got a co-sign from Gretzky
Let's bring it back to the '80's
We was doing it bigger
Five rings on my finger
Put your team on freeze
When you in the Ice District
I'm a bruiser like Lucic
When it come to this music
I'm the next Great One
Don't you ever confuse it
[Pre-Chorus]
Yo we do it for the love
We don't do it for the fame
Repping Edmo
We don't play for the Flames
Yeah we caught a few L's
Now we back in the game
Hope we see a banner getting raised
[Chorus]
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
[Verse 2]
I was on the road at nineteen
Making fans scream
Skating on your team at high speed
You looking minor league
Eberle beside me
Maroon on the other side
Haters try to block my goals
Watch me beat 'em glove side
Top shelf, I got help
Shout to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
We be building with the youth
Nothing you can do to stop us (yeah)
We're like the Boys on the Bus
Hitting pucks up
Hope that when spring's all done
We throwing cups up
[Pre-Chorus]
Do it for the love
We don't do it for the fame
Repping Edmo
We don't play for the Flames
Yeah we caught a few L's
Now we back in the game
Hope we see a banner getting raised
[Chorus]
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
I be skating on your whole team
Connor McDavid
Young player, but I'm in the league
Connor McDavid
Anticipated when I came in
We be winning when the game ends
[Outro]
City of Champions
Yeah, we bring it back again
Parade coming back through
Might need another statue
You know I had to do it first
At the club, girls calling me Darnell Nurse
Oh no, don't try and diss
Alberta legend, like Ryan Smyth
Cadence Weapon out of Edmonton
Yeah, I'm from right here
Shout out to Mike Grier
And Georges Laraque
Holler at me when I'm on the block
Might see me at the Black Dog
Ten years out the playoffs
We trying to win, no days off
