Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Welcome to Atlanta jack and hammer and vogues
Back to the mackin' and jackin' the clothes, adolescent packin' a fo'
A knock on the do', who is it?
I would happen to know, the one with the flow
Who did it? It was me, I suppose
J-D in the Rolls and Luda's in the Cut Supreme
Skatin' down Old Gnat, gat tucked and lean
I split your spleen, as a matter of fact I split ya team
No blood on the sneaks, gotta keep it so my kicks is clean
I get the cream, cops see me flick my beams
I'm allergic, the doc prescribed antihistamines
Oink oink, pig pig, do away with the pork
Only silverware I need's a steak knife and a fork
Did you forget your fuckin' manners? I'm Bruce with banners
Ludacris, Johnny Rockets when I shoot the cannon
The wooly mammoth saber tooth bitch, bite your tongue
I won't stop until I'm rich as them white will come
I pull up in the black Lotus, your plaques are bogus
So I stripped them off the wall
Waitin' for my cue to corner pocket eight balls
You rackin' 'em up, I'm big paper like pancakes, stackin' 'em up
In fact I'm slappin' 'em up, Cadillac-in' the truck
I can't lose with twenty-two, bitch, that's what's up
Runnin' in the back the fuck, runnin' better than aqueduct
Chil-li-li-li-li-n, fli-pi-pi-pi-pi-n, what?
[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, y-y-yo, yo, yo
Y-y-yo yo, yo-yo-yo
Yo yo-yo-yo, yo-yo, yo
Y-yo, yo, yo-yo-yo-yo-yo yo
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
Yo, uh
Now the party don't start till I walk in
And I usually don't leave until the thing ends
But in the meantime, in between time
You work your thing, I'll work mine
I been puttin' it down here since '83
Since the late show MD rivalry
When Frozen Paradise was the place to be
If you was ridin' you was bumpin' to homie Shy-D
I'm the MBP, most ballerous playa
Make my own rules, bitch, call me the mayor
Monday night, gentlemen's club
Tuesday night, I'm up in the Velvet Room gettin' fucked up
Wednesday, I'm at Strokers on lean
Thursday, jump clean and I fall up in cream
Friday, Shark Bar, Kaya with Frank Ski
Right on the floor is where you can find me
Saturday is off the heezy fo' sheezy, you can find me up in one tweezy
Sunday is when I get my sleep in
'Cause on Monday we be at it again, holla
[Verse 4]
Yo, yo, y-y-yo, yo, yo
Y-y-yo yo, yo-yo-yo
Yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo, yo
Yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo, yo
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
[Chorus]
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play
And we ride on them things like everyday
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties don't stop till eight in the mornin'
