Rochester New York   Home of the brave   Where shook ones get put in comas and graves   It's real in the ROC   Mamas ride and clap at ya   How you think we got most homicides per capita?      ROC town is real   If you flashin' Canons like Kodak know that is founded here   Like the Eastman House, Xerox, Bauch and Lomb   Top 20 of the cities where they drop a bomb   A city thats down to earth   Where clowns get merc'd   Not all glitz and glittery but rich in history   Many slaves be pickin' they locks to get to the ROC   One of the underground railroad's pivotal stops      Where the sky is the limit no room for a canopy   Home of Fredrick Douglas and Susan B. Anthony   Reppin' my town, my rest and my fort   Where I laugh love and live,   Rochester New York      They hate jake at Chase Cake   Rochester New York   It ain't safe in upstate   Rochester New York   The betters playin' dice for keeps    Rochester New York   The weather change twice a week   Rochester New York   It's the 585   Rochester New York   I'm just tryin' stay alive   Rochester New York   Rochester I'll rep ya 'till all of my breaths gone   NY never sleeps    ROC city gets slept on      Yo you on vacation   Prepared for a break?    Got dough?    Head to Six Flags Darien Lake   NY's coaster capital   But you need g's    So if you strappin' cash   Head over to Seabreeze   My mall is Greece Ridge   We got Marketplace and Eastview   Irondequiot's for you   If you are afraid of people      We built the Erie Canal   The ferry to Toronto   And the Genesees in the   Same league as the Nile   We not known for caviar    And steak   But a chef    That can touch Tahoes   With his Garbage plate      Got sports of all sorts    The ROC has it all   Whether soccer hockey footbase   Or basketball   You can check the record books for   The Royals and the Amerks   And we got the Rhinos, Redwings and the Rattlers      Reppin' my city, my rest and my fort   Where I laugh love and live,   Rochester New York      They hate jake at Chase Cake   Rochester New York   It ain't safe in upstate   Rochester New York   The betters playin' dice for keeps    Rochester New York   The weather change twice a week   Rochester New York   It's the 585   Rochester New York   I'm just tryin' stay alive   Rochester New York   Rochester I'll rep ya 'till all of my breaths gone   NY never sleeps    ROC city gets slept on      Yo you got O block   My part of town   Where niggas is spark   To split when the pows around   And I'll laugh with the    Evening of life   You guaranteed to see   The ugliest prostitutes   You've seen in your life      Them Hudson boys   Click the body kits   And clap for no reason   Like an in sync audiance   Ricans want Clinton   Niggas just don't know   That's what all of the street signs   Are in espangol      The eastside is all frolick and foe   Keep needin' the coke   That's why they catch more    Bodies than colds   In the west if theres beef   Then the heat is gonna sizzle   When you can't trust niggas    You meet when you was little   Cause life is like golf and thats word   The mean niggas only worry bout   Gettin birds and greens       That's how it is in my city, my rest and my fort   Where I laugh love and live,   Rochester New York      They hate jake at Chase Cake   Rochester New York   It ain't safe in upstate   Rochester New York   The betters playin' dice for keeps    Rochester New York   The weather change twice a week   Rochester New York   It's the 585   Rochester New York   I'm just tryin' stay alive   Rochester New York   Rochester I'll rep ya 'till all of my breaths gone   NY never sleeps    ROC city gets slept on   (x2)
