Story Behind the Song
I Just wanted to do a song for Minnesota and for my friends... Representin' for Minnesota and all my true friends... I wrote the song one night when I couldn't sleep and recorded it the next morning. I recorded the song over a beat that I created under the alias "All Dangerous." The beat can be found at my beat production page on mp3.com... www.mp3.com/All_Dangerous... Enjoy!!
Lyrics
Verse 1... (Representin')
I guess it's time to represent for my roots and where I came from.
This is for Minnesota, from Duluth down to the metrodome.
Wisconsin to the Dakota's. All the way back down to Iowa.
From the heart of the Twin Cities, up to the towns that border Canada.
Azores is where I came from, but Stillwater is my home..
Towards the end of cottage drive, straight across from the hockey dome.
Mahtomedi was my home, just a couple of years ago.
So I gotta give 'em props, in every city that I go.
This is for my people all across the state,
In every town and every city, and the great 10,000 lakes.
We livin' in the greatest and the best of all places.
Rev the engine in my Cavi, and get my ass to the drag races.
I'm lovin' my life and every second that I'm young.
Pimpin' out my ride, hangin' out and havin' fun.
Givin' shouts out to my people that be bumpin' in they ride.
Actin' crazy my brotha, MINNESOTA TIL WE DIE!
Chorus... (Once - Single Chorus)
To my people in Mahtomedi, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in Stillwater, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people out in New Hope, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in Maple Grove, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in St. Louis Park, IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people out in Grant, give it up IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in Minneapolis, IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in St Paul, ya damn right IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
Verse 2... (More Representin')
Still livin', still breathin', Stillwater is where I'm at.
Downtown near the oasis with a backwards yellow hat.
You can find me with my woman, or at the studio makin' tracks.
Or gettin' into some shit with my peoples, the Hoodrats.
Bringin' pain to mutha fucka's like that faggot St. Michaels.
Causin' some real life drama with mack 11's and rifles.
Takin' out the whole crew, with GD gangsta disciples.
Sittin' up on rooftops, taggin' bitches like some sniper's.
Haha, I thought you knew, we be some Hoodrats for life.
Representin' to the fullest, everyday and every night.
My peoples Dee and Black, you know they holdin' it down.
Lil' Spud and Flip G, they got you jumpin' around.
Big B and Lil' Homey, always keepin' it real.
Psyteam and Rako Inc., givin' support that I can feel.
This is for my truest of friends, not fuckin' around.
Minnesota til we die bitch... It's goin' down.
Chorus... (Once - Single Chorus)
To my people in Mahtomedi, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in Stillwater, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people out in New Hope, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
To my people in Maple Grove, represent IT'S GOIN' DOWN.
