josh emcee - atlanta, my city lyrics

[verse 1]
yo, i hail from that city
that’s too busy to hate
don’t matter where in the a you grew up
cause we all can relate
whether you’re eating at the varsity
hot wings or a shake
we’ve been the capital of the south
since 1868
general sherman burned us down in 1864
but we rose up like a phoenix, waiting
and asking for more
eating the opposition
we dirty birds for life
we flying high, we never die
we dirty birds for life
thrashing on the others
the home of successful brothers
city of black prestige
city of black gunners
the home of
dr. king, tyler perry,and ludacris
the city is the best, for rappers, who start off new to this
i grew up in atlanta and i know it in and out
if you grew up in atlanta you what its all about
car crashes everyday, and shootings every week
but when you seem those bright lights at night
the world just seems less bleak

[hook]
atlanta boy
this is my my city son
even in the rich parts they staying gritty son
from bankhead, to buckhead
cascade to glenwood
whats up then
decatur, to marietta
i swear the city, getting much better
and they steady raking in the cheddar
capital of the south
and a is the letter

[verse 2]
atlanta is a place where a brother can be somebody
a city where a brother can make a couple mil, probably
honestly
i rep atlanta every single day
i represent the city in each and every way
plently of small towns surround the city all about
plently of churches around because you know we stay devout
the city’s spread out
and the interstates are cities’ veins
people take the trains to avoid the congested lanes
ooh man i’m on it
oh boy i’m on it
this beat is like a marta train
i catch it and jump on it
ooh man i’m ill like the hawks when they drain threes
atlanta is a city, completely, surrounded by trees
a place where confederate flags still fly high
and if trees could talk
they could tell you the ways people had to die
a beautiful southern city
destroyed by a fire
rose up united as atlanta
the city that i admire

[hook 2x]
atlanta boy
this is my my city son
even in the rich parts they staying gritty son
from bankhead, to buckhead
cascade to glenwood
whats up then
decatur, to marietta
i swear the city, getting much better
and they steady raking in the cheddar
capital of the south
and a is the letter

[outro]
yo, shoutout to everybody from stone mountain, east point
lithonia, cobb county, everybody in atlanta
the whole entire city
everybody everywhere
