Lyrics

Walking the streets of New Orleans
I see these trumpet players,
Tuba players, drummers
On the street corner
Tapping their feet
Bobbin to their heads
To the words that we breathe
Cuz
No matter what they say
This is our world
We come from the bottom
Now we all swerve
Keep it locked down
This is ours now
Game's over
We just running the clock down
Started at the bottom
Now we making it hotter
Call it what you want
But we raking in dollars
Now need to flaunt
Ain't a trick in a parlour
Keep my fam with me
Blood thicker than water
That's right
So inspired and wired
The boulevard
Really come alive at night
So it's live like a bar
With a line outside
And it is
Cuz we keep it popping all night
No matter what they say
This is our world
We come from the bottom
Now we all swerve
Keep it locked down
This is ours now
Game's over
We just running the clock down
Cuz ever since we stepped into it
Got the depth what's the next step
Yes we knew it
Poppin and shakin
You copping this bacon
We cooking it
Don't it smell nice when you're looking in?
So action packed
Right at this moment
Yeah, got that school and diploma
Overachiever
Flow over heaters
Roll over readers
Digest these sneakers
No matter what they say
This is our world
We come from the bottom
Now we all swerve
Keep it locked down
This is ours now
Game's over
We just running the clock down
Bada-bing bada-boom
Watch the money flood the room
It's like monsoon season
But if you believe in
What we believe in?
There's no reason
That both our teams
Can't be eating
But if you don't? psh..
A dude gotta eat
That's why it's like-
"It's either you or it's me"
Track record show
We gonna get it
So sit back listen to the horns
They're quite copasthetic, man
No matter what they say
This is our world
We come from the bottom
Now we all swerve
Keep it locked down
This is ours now
Game's over
We just running the clock down
