Atlanta,GA:My Hometown

They say all roads lead to Rome
But down south they will tell you
That Boston isn’t the only “Hub”
We’ve got one too
Its home to UPS and Coke
Chick-fil-a and Home Depot too
The summers can get extremely hot
And at times, winters too
MLK Jr. called it home
When he was fighting for equality
And now black is the ONLY policy
Suburbs sprawl like crazy
Everything is cheap
Unless you subtract the Cadillac’s
Hummers, Lexus, Benz and even some Jeeps
There’s wealth to share
The people live without a care
Unless it deals with their hair
Hip hop’s new mecca for talent
And the population consists of blacks and Hispanics
Despite that, the NFL and MLB teams lack talent
There’s a great mix of old and new
The traffic is kind of hard to get through
I-75 and I-85?
I suggest no drive till after five
The airport is the busiest
Since the ‘70’s the mayors have been black
A person from Chicago
Because the attitude they sure do lack
Asked if they were on crack
I never heard from that kid again…
All the streets are nine lanes wide
Wal-Marts and Costco’s line either side
And there are definitely plenty of snow days
The fear of snow is what keeps them at bay
Days are long and nights are longer
Like JD said in the song
‘And parties don’t stop till 8 in the morning’
The clubs are the hottest
Some of the people are the fattest
I digress to brag
But we are the best
At what we do
So the next time you’re looking
For a place that’s really cooking
The plane tickets you should be booking
And when they ask where
You give ‘em one of those stares
Say you’re going to where they say ‘Y’all’
And aint is a word
From Bankhead
To Ben Hill
Where the citizens keep it real
Downtown and Midtown
From the North Side to Sweet Auburn
There’s no other place to turn
From Marietta to East Point
From Fulton to Clayton
Douglas and Cobb
Where everybody got a job
The N, F and the B words are common
I’m talking about the 404
The ATL
A-Town
The New Capital of the South
Better not run your mouth
A
T
L

N

A
That’s where I come to play
How about you come to stay?
