Queen City State of Mind

Verse 1

Yeah
Yeah I come from Crown Town
H-ville where you can find me
Land of stoner white kids
Who be bumpin Weezy
I be Chilin at the Dragon

You know what I'm sayin
(I know what your saying)
Hanging out on Central
All of the Indie Scene (How you been)
New Music From Lunch Box
Fried Pickles From the Penguin
Gettin my Education
Right off of 49
Drinkin PBR at B-Dubs, Wasting my study time
Crusin down Tryon
Don't Make a wrong turn
Entering Hidden Valley
(Driving Lesson is learned!!!)
Yeah I'm from that Q. C.
Home Town Hero Rick Flair
And K.C. and Jojo
But nobody really cares
Southern Girls are so fine
Liquor Mixed with Cheerwine
Killin Your Liver
Drunken State at Whiskey River
Fuck, I got kicked out
End up at a Waffle House
............my fair weather attitude shows I"M MOST DEFINITELY FROM

Chorus

Charlotte
Its simply just a Southern Bell,
That we all know to well
Now you're in Charlotte
Most of us are from out of State
But somehow we all relate
Let's Here it for Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte



Verse 2

Were comin up yall
Catch me at the nosebleeds at the Bobcats game
Not many people wear orange though, i hate to say it but it's true
Most Wear Carolina Blue, and I guess Duke too
Drive down 74, Independence is what the call it
East Charlotte is the Melting Pot
Immigrants selilin there food
Vietnamese is so good
The home of Bo Jo's
Sweet Tea, Tail Gate, Briskets, Cant Hate
And Northern transplants soon forget how they used act
Go out to the Westside, Smokin Blunts to kill time
Blasting there systems, while playing Bettie Grind
A house on Lake Norman, I know I got it made
A job at Duke Energy, I know I'm gettin paid
3 interstates
And a light rail
Speed Street Weekend, Billy Gram preaching against hell
Bank of America, Bring back the Hornets
Fuck Jake Delhome though
I'm from the Largest Small town thats

Chorus

Charlotte
Its simply just a Southern Bell,
That we all know to well
Now you're in Charlotte
Most of us are from out of State
But somehow we all relate
Let's Here it for Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte

Verse 3

Skyline is Growing
Locals needs new maps
The city streets change names quick
The streets are lines with new buildings
A little revitalization, then gentrification became worst
Were Southern Royalty
The city's symbol is a crown
On street signs all over town
And In the winter and its snows all the locals freak out
its no more an Evangelical City without sin
Underworld is growing, its just hidden within
Transportation fuckin sucks, need a car to get out
Nobody rides cats,a pointless bus route
Banking to the city was our savior
But the bailout can't save you when your job ends
Came here for Dad's Job, graduated to the college life
Plus everyone here is addicted to sweet tea
Yet our town hasn't came home as a champion
Yet the city heals my pain, don't need oxycotton

Chorus

Charlotte
Its simply just a Southern Bell,
That we all know to well
Now you're in Charlotte
Most of us are from out of State
But somehow we all relate
Let's Here it for Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte


Charlotte
Its simply just a Southern Bell,
That we all know to well
Now you're in Charlotte
Most of us are from out of State
But somehow we all relate
Let's Here it for Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte
