From playing every day, and always in trouble
I am from Big Easy New Orleans,
Not from the robberies or gun shots
Not from fat people or
From the blues and jazz city, from trumpets, to street shows
I am from Looney Toons and SpongeBob,
From Full House and Brandy Bunch and Fresh Prince of Bel Air,
From playing Power Rangers and never wearing shoes and walking everywhere.
I’m from playing tag
From Mom and Dad and four other siblings
I’m from sports, from football and soccer
From together we stand, united we fall
I’m from always believing in God and never saying his name in vain
I’m from “don’t do that you’re going to get hurt and “yes sir yes mam”
From- “respecting your elders”
From down south New Orleans
From home cooked dinners and crawfish,
From busy parents and never a dull moment
From loving where I’m from and “WHO DAT”
