I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
I'll take another round
Roll up and pass around
I've never took nothing from no one You can ask around
Born in the NYC
City that never sleeps
But then my mama move me south Someplace right by the beach
I fell in love with the water
Staring at the palm trees
Hit the bar and whiskey Wednesdays
And this next rounds on me
Then I'm a hop in my canoe
And then we'll probably see a gator
But I'm sorry I ain't going back north
I'm a see you later
I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
Might get a hurricane
But we don't get no blizzards
This is the sunshine state
It's barely getting cold in winter
Down here we like to party
Beer pong should get it started
Hop on a four wheeler
Or hit the bay and catch some tarpon
There ain't no other city state or place
As great, I'd rather go
Only FLA runs through my blood
In case you gotta know
And I was born in NYC
I know it seems like I'm a traitor
But I'm sorry I ain't going back north
I'm a see you later
I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
I used to be a city boy
Then I moved down to FLA
And since an itty bitty boy
I've held it down don't mess with me
I'm from a nitty-gritty place
They call it the Empire State
But since I moved down south
I can't stay out these Everglades
