about

Wrote this as an ode to my city.

lyrics

Verse 1

Now throw your hands up if you feel me

Feeling spoiled while I’m strolling through my city

I’m royal down on queen street

I be living like a king though

And Yonge street got me youthful

singing tunes like we used to

Got me chanting T-DOT

*T DOT*

You know that we be reppin’ it

There’s excellence in our residence

Let’s use this track as evidence

The movement no repressing it

Our city’s talents endless

I can feel it in the air it’s just my sixth sense

Got me singing

Oh

Chorus

We just took the city over

Dancing through the night like we’re supposed to

Gottem sayin

WOAH

And don’t be tripping where we are though

Like tell em’ baby welcome to Toronto

Gottem chanting T-dot

Tell ‘em where we be at

City where our dreams are

Tell ‘em that we’ve been that

Gottem sayin’ woah

WOAH

And don’t be tripping where we are though

This just a little place that we call home

Welcome to Toronto

Verse 2

The best this ain’t a question

Ask my from brothers east

Or my sisters from the west end

When you’re whole city winning

*hey where you from?*

Really makes no difference

Six senses all I’m seeing is people living

Guess the city makes ya change

That’s true

So come on downtown

if you need proof

Just got off the 9 to 5

Long days where we work hard

But when in kensington

see I be feeling like a rockstar

~~~~~~~~

Ok I be going little ham on the beat

Feeling real good in the streets

How I be

Bold young wild and free

In the city that raised me

Made me me

Made Casey

Just a t-dot native

That was born and raised

Whether you leave tomorrow

Or arrived today

Lets live it up like it’s our last day

Might as well stay

Hey why not?

Don’t really matter ‘bout where you from

Whatever color sex or religion

We’re all here together as one

It’s just that that makes us strong

It’s just what makes us t-dot

Lets forget the rules gonna flip the numbers

And now the six number one

Yeah like we the number two too

And y’all know what that means

Like oh baby that’s too true

Take all spots we cant be beat

That’s for me to know

And for you to see

Back home so know

I got places to be

Sights to see

And nights to freak

See yourself you ain’t gotta trust me

Take it or leave

oh

Chorus

We just took the city over

Dancing through the night like we’re supposed to

Gottem sayin'

WOAH

And don’t be tripping where we are though

Like tell em’ baby welcome to Toronto

Gottem chanting T-dot

Tell ‘em where we be at

City where our dreams are

Tell ‘em that we’ve been that

Gottem sayin’ woah

WOAH

And don’t be tripping where we are though

This just a little place that we call home

Welcome to Toronto

Outro

And I got love for my city

I got-
I got love for my city

And I show love to my city

I show-
i show love to my city

And I got love for my city

because my city always showed me love

And I show love to my city

because my city always showed me love
