Livin’ N’ Toronto
[Prelude]
Uh, Kao Denero, Freddy Will
Toronto, Freetown, you know how we get down
Classic, epic uh ay ya! Ay ya!
[Verse 1]
Nobody told me I would end up here
Cats be like yo Freetown what you doing up there
My Malibu homie like yo I've got my mans’ up north
Hope he ain't get soft, from laying up in their loft
Labatt’s in my vein
With these leathers on my apron, no matter the weather
I'm protected from their spot and stain
I get my Sidney Crosby Halifax spin
Tim Horton's gets me frisky when my day begins
A melody inventer
General from Canada
Couldn't understand the tune I whistle
Even if they hit you, with a kiss so brisk like it's from Bristol
Yorkville shopping, Bay Street can you bank that
Avenue Road with gully daughters when I spank that
Young Street, homie, put that on my tab
CN Tower I rep, late night at exclusive clubs
Crashed in Ontario
I'm living in Toronto, yo!
[Chorus]
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
[Verse 2]
Ay ya! Uh!
You for done Denero dae rap Kolonko
Freetong to Toronto
Dae travel de world lek me name nah Columbo
Udat you want falla ba
I done plant the flag, Salone to Canada
Dem call me J. C. nah from Kalangbah
I've been nice since the days way bin dae write raps nah veranda
Shout to me form one teacher Mr. Kamanda
Sick metaphors, them emotional like sexual intercourse
I've been the boss, lyrically get the point across
Crucify your life Lucifer on the Mic
Deadly with the punch lines but still nice like Christ
Kao is deadly still
Commander of Toronto like man Freddy Will
Flow too deadly get plenty kill
From the days of stiletto
Kao been dae rep the ghetto
Work for everything I get no klepto-manic
With this rap shit, trust me, plenty wack
[Chorus]
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
[Verse 3]
Yo, I've spent so much, I could never get my bread back
Took my shirt off, and hit 'em with the pitty-pat
Proved 'em wrong, nope, you couldn't do it like me
And come with vengeance and scope to peep my strategy
I'm taking pride in originating the things I do
And that alone will make me happy ‘cause you know it's true
Them nominations you disputed got them joints right here
Stamps with my pictures on 'em got 'em right here
Wrote them books out here, dropped them albums out here
From Queen Street to Spadina street cars I stare
Toronto Zoo with my boo
Caribbean Festival
Lakeshore cruises where white shorties get their tan
Smoking them Du Mauriers, the ashes on my Cartier
Finna write a few more blogs and hit 'em with a dossier
Contemplating my next move on the Via Rail
Collingwood, pushing first-class its real
[Chorus]
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
A new place to call my home
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
I'm living in Toronto
