The Anthem Lyrics by MLBRN

2018

[Intro]
Burn City, stand up, check

[Chorus]
My hometown lit (lit), Burn City (Burn City)
Always reppin' town when nobody did it (nobody did it)
Now they representin' when we 'bout to get it (yah, yah, yah)
Time to get that crown, hold it down, now everybody with it (y'all with it)
Southside (south side) to the east (east side)
Northwest, yeah, we represent the same thing (rep the same thing)
'Bout to put Burn City (yeah) on the map (uh)
Said decided put this city on your back, where y'all at, uh? (buh)

[Verse 1]
Named after the city with the bеst livin' (Burn City)
First brown kid, y'all don't know the feeling (y'all don't know the feeling)
Everybody scarеd when they see something different (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was here in Melbourne when my people was back in New Zealand
"Go back where you came from" (came from); that's what I was raised with (raised with)
Teachers used to see it happening but never say shit (nah)
Yeah, I'm 26 now (with it), rolling with the same clique (nah)
Stunting on the same teachers tell me that I ain't shit (that I ain't shit)
Whoo, still rep the 7 (yeah), it's the same shit (it's the same shit)
Only down for usos that I hang with (hood brothers)
So when I Ben Simmons on your ass (ayy)
And ball on you haters (yeah), I still rep the town I came with (Burn City)
Noble Park, Cranbourne, Dandy, HP (HP)
Shoutout to the Westside even though they hate me (West side)
Pussies try to jump me, yeah, it don't faze me
I ride for you only 'cause this city don't raise me (whoo)
Home of the killers (yeah) and the fashion (yeah)
Home of the brotherhood (brotherhood), uso, what's happening? (what's happening)
Know a couple shooters don't miss what's packing (yeah, what's packing)
Know me all the way from Broadmeadows down to Frankston (yeah, yeah)
Asking "Wonder who the best?" but they know it now (yeah, yeah)
Only time the city coming up is when I hold it down (yeah, yeah, yeah)
They startin' to notice now, city on my shoulders now (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Melbourne taking over, that's the only way it's going down (yeah)
For the city

[Chorus]
My hometown lit (lit), Burn City (Burn City)
Always reppin' town when nobody did it (nobody did it)
Now they representin' when we 'bout to get it (yeah, yeah)
Time to get that crown, hold it down, now everybody with it (y'all with it)
Southside (south side) to the east (east side)
Northwest, yeah, we represent the same thing (rep the same thing)
'Bout to put Burn City (yeah) on the map (uh)
Said decided put this city on your back, where y'all at, uh? (whoo)

[Verse 2]
Before I [?] pull up in the game (game)
All they ever rappin' 'bout was women and they chains (yah, and they chains)
Back when all I wanted was to put my city on (yah)
So indeed only used the city as my name (yeah, Burn)
Now they beggin' for me, I'm laughin'
And I never used to tell 'em you'll regret it 'cause I knew that I was somethin' (somethin')
Told that "Mum, I'll make it" (make it), they thought that I was bluffin'
You can only be this hungry when your family come from nothin' (uh, uh, uh, yeah, get it [?], yeah)
We was broke back when we was sleepin' on the floors (yeah, go)
And we'd always steal the clothes (clothes) that we never could afford (yes, yeah)
And the city comin' up (yeah) like them Lamborghini doors (Lamborghini doors)
Always been about the city, you ain't never 'bout yours, uh (uh)
Springvale where it be (yeah), Fitzroy feelin' me (whoo)
Started my career, our whole city was an enemy (yeah, was an enemy)
So I put in double time and love is what they givin' me (love is what they givin' me)
Realest in the game, there's nothing I pretend to be (nah)
City where it always seem to rain in the summer (doo)
We were post corner, this your address number (yeah)
Where the only thing they eat was that bread and some butter (yeah, uh)
That's the only motivation that I needed for the come-up
It was rare (it was rare), we on the way, my uso (rah)
Shots at the city, let 'em spray, my uso
Representin' Cranbourne like every day, my uso (yeah)
When the city comin' [?], we out the way, my uso (uh, uh, uh)

[Chorus]
My hometown lit (lit), Burn City (Burn City)
Always reppin' town when nobody did it (nobody did it)
Now they representin' when we 'bout to get it (yah, yah, yah)
Time to get that crown, hold it down, now everybody with it (y'all with it)
Southside (south side) to the east (east side)
Northwest, yeah, we represent the same thing (rep the same thing)
'Bout to put Burn City (yeah) on the map (uh)
Said decided put this city on your back, where y'all at?
