Shelton Harris in the song, is saying there’s nothing better than living the Seattle life. He’s giving a shoutout to Seattle being his hometown, etc. Don’t get him wrong, Seattle is actually a pretty good place to do certain things in. #seattle!
[Verse 1: Shelton Harris]
Check it, My lifes in animation, change on a daily basis
I rep Seattle trying to carry that across the nation
My sunroof open while I'm driving down this interstate
It seems to me my areas the only town that's innovative
Im trying to get creative
Im trying to make it happen
Im trying to make it big and hope that I ain't lose that passion
Sure it kinda rains a lot but thats a given
Lots of misconceptions made about the city that I live in
This is more than just the needle, hipsters, and Jimi Hendrix
Never adopted swag, cuz we filthy we rise against it
I conquer the odds against me
Changing cuz Im reflecting on the past and I'm happy I made it without pretending
Yes, its the moment we've been waiting for ain't it?
The sun comes out and Seattle goes crazy
Im just a kid, but Im feeling kind of grown now
Only one of many other talents in my hometown
[Hook]
I turn my city to a destination more or less
I hold it down for my region as I progress
Im just a rapper but Seattle is my fortress
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
Ain't nothing better, Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
Ain't nothing better, Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
[Verse 2: Shelton Harris]
Microphone check One, Two-O
Fancy with it, I don't go ham I go brochutto
Riding down Pike Street, bumping in my two door
I don't got a fat ride, but I whip it pretty cool though
Riding past Neumos
Forever reminiscing on the time I got so high I couldn't stop squinting
The city gave me memories
Laced them with melodies
Turn into a song, stand strong like the evergreens
My Oh My, The sun it brings the city alive
Makes up for all the months spent staying inside
We got the ladies in the short shorts, Fellas in their tank tops
Shows where I make those hands stick up like a bank rob
I'm not a player, but I love this game
Thats why this needle will forever stay up in my veins
You may be good but it really doesn't matter dude
West-Coast up, say check how Seattle do
[Hook]
I turn my city to a destination more or less
I hold it down for my region as I progress
Im just a rapper but Seattle is my fortress
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
Ain't nothing better, Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
Ain't nothing better, Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better than the summers in the North-West
