| Let’s take it back to the Maritimes Man
|
| You can’t take yourself so serious
|
| Do that thing you guys were doing
|
| Fill your cup up and chug
|
| Roll a joint up and get fucked
|
| Ready for a kitchen party
|
| Welcome to the Maritimes
|
| I’m from the East Coast of Canada, home of the bagpipe
|
| Known for the fiddle players, beer and out keg price
|
| Known for Alexander Keiths and the donair
|
| Home of the Mooseheads but I don’t really go there
|
| We pay a buck for a litre of gas and
|
| Smokes cost $ 10 a pack and
|
| We always mix our tobacco with weed
|
| It’s just the way it’s always been shit is natural to me So let me tackle the beat and unravel the scene
|
| Let you people know what you never travel to see
|
| We got battle MC’s, we got storytellers
|
| And we got awful MC’s and corny motherfuckers
|
| We got everything you wanna hear
|
| Conscious to Back pack, Commercial to Gangsta
|
| R&B to Abstract, grunge to Rock, Classical to Country
|
| So many artist workin’but no one making money
|
| Welcome to the East Coast, home of the innocence
|
| Still Piegon Hole, as a farm or a fisher man
|
| No major league teams, no baseball or hockey
|
| No urban radio Just country and pop-beats
|
| I’m trying to shake these stereo types
|
| So give me space please, let me air out my life
|
| I don’t even eat fish, shit I never tried lobster
|
| Cant play the fiddle, and never was a logger
|
| But I swam in clean lakes, and enjoyed cool breezes
|
| But Halifax Harbours like swimming in diseases
|
| We only known for Anne &Green Gable
|
| Coal mines to Blue Nose and P.E.I. |
| Potatoes
|
| The Maritimes, its better then that
|
| We livin’in the nether times so dead it with that
|
| We got universal soul and buck 65 an The whole UCG and of course Classified
|
| We got back burner, goo night, alpha flight, Lock Down
|
| Mic Boyd, first word, tro biz and hell town
|
| And a million other artist, trying to get there flow heard
|
| And Let you know that we still workin’on these outskirts
|
| We trying to blow like Halifax Explosion
|
| Or maybe Anne Marie I know she’s Nova Scotian
|
| A Hurricane Juan blowin from the ocean
|
| Either way it goes I’m still reppin for my coast man
|
| That’s how we do it down here
|
| Least that’s how you think we do it down here
|
| We all pile in the kitchen
|
| Do it like this
|
| Fill your cup up and chug
|
| Roll a joint up and get fucked
|
| Ready for a kitchen party
|
| Welcome to the Maritimes
