[Intro]
On on, and on and, yeah, yeah (Downtown)
[Chorus]
Ayy yo, the place where I'm chilling at is, yeah, uh (Downtown)
Ayy, where people get the party on it's D-Town
And if you wanna get live, then come downtown
All my people get live on time
[Verse 1]
It's the place to be at, where we spit raps
The DJ scratch, beboys with the Air Tracks
Battle cats, graffiti, Jimmy smoking crack
I rap a prayer, two fingers in the air
Party on with Bacardi-cardi's song, bodyguards
Folly's on, God's army got me strong, rocking Psalms
Home to the homeless, dope Trojans
And stone folk hopeless, coc' addicts and roach clips
Focus on the frontier, CN Towers
Engineered here, all my peers here, chill, and spend years here
Know the city, grab your girl and look pretty
Flex a fifty, and give away your pennies
Not to be trusted, gang busted, and rugged
Tourists subject to loss, so keep your eyes on your luggage
Towns that never sleep, from New York to Wall Street
Miles of concrete that rocks without a beat
[Chorus]
Ayy yo, the place where I'm chilling at is, yeah, uh (Downtown)
Ayy, where people get the party on it's D-Town
And if you wanna get live, then come downtown
'Cause you know that, yeah (What?)
It was downtown
[Verse 2]
Down town, like new years countdown
Skate and crowd around till the police turn it out
Bounce to the next spot, watch, I seen a lot cops
I got caught stopped eating a vendor dog
Rep my cross I gotta be it, rap in coliseums
God, I see him looking down daily and the weekend
Seeing night life and the fights and the mics
And the wrongs and the rights and the cause is the pride
My side of the track is for truth and the facts
Where I'm going when I rap, through God I'm intact
The fast pace of life, you forget who you are
Try to get that girl, or soup up your car
Job, dialogue, the cost to get it all
You Got a five-year plan, but who's there when you fall?
There's nothing wrong with it, downtown's explicit
Most peeps is after it, check it when you visit
[Chorus]
Ayy yo, the place where I'm chilling at is, yeah, uh (Downtown)
Ayy, where people get the party on it's D-Town
And if you wanna get live, then come downtown
It's my place that I live at, downtown
[Verse 3]
If you wanna chill above average, get passed the madness
Find Jesus of Nazareth or God-fearing activists
Toronto's a classic and has all the matches
The fashion, cornrose, gadgets, attractions
Traffic cars, girls, the ahhs
Left a life of God, living by no man's laws
Why's the truth hard to see when God's in your dreams?
Put it down, follow me, Matthew 4:19
Poisonous living, boy struck, you illin'
My boisterous opinion, minds got you thinkin'
The T-dot don't stop or sleep
Watch clocks in streets, party blocks loose is how we do
Is everything fair in the city? (Nope)
Why don't you ask the squeegees, homeless, or the needy
Regardless or not, I still call it my home
Residing in the downtown, uptown, land of broken souls
[Chorus]
Ayy yo, the place where I'm chilling at is, yeah, uh (Downtown)
And If you wanna get live, then come downtown
Ayy, where my people get the party on, it's (Downtown)
Downtown
[Outro]
The place that I live at
The place that I live at
T-Dot
