Champa Bay
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
We call it Champa Bay
It's Champa Bay
Grab a pen and pen let my mind remember back
Grew up in Ybor City Tampa right off Seventh Ave
Dad had a studio we just living in the back
Neighborhood was Pasiano Cubano White and Black
I'm in the parking lot standing right beside the track
Con leche in my hand Cuban sandwich in the bag
Hot sauce and Goya you can stick that on my deviled crab
Arroz con pollo platanos Cuban bread for the snack
Thats all I had now since I was a teen
See me on the balcony night parade Guavaween
I'm at the Gasparilla catching now all the beads
If you ain't from here then you ain't know just what I mean
Yellow rice and saffron with the blackest beans
Watch the Bucs in 83 screaming that's my team
Keep the city in my heart any place I be
Even tho I had to leave I still rep the 813
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
We call it Champa Bay
It's Champa Bay
Grew up in Philly but I moved here in nine six
Not many are from here it's an up north Caribbean mix
Came here for a new start with new dreams
Now we champions just check our sports teams
Just look at our Bucs and our Bolts
And what city got a Super Bowl parade on a river float
We was at the bottom we thank Jehovah Rophi
Now we got Tom Brady tossing trophies
We winning and God gets the glory
He's changing lives in our city and he's rewriting stories
From Uptown to Midtown down to Tampa Heights
To the Water Street skyscraper city lights
We got fire mics
Held by KB and Longboi and Loso
Datin and Sir James and Tarver are Loco
We vocal
We love our city any where we be
We rep Christ and the 813
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
We call it Champa Bay
It's Champa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Champa Bay
Welcome now to Tampa Bay
Let them cannons blow it's a brand new day
We call it Champa Bay
It's Champa Bay
Grab a pen and pen let my mind remember back
