Devious - Welcome To The Birthplace [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro Sample]

This is New Orleans. The crescent city. Paris of America
It's squashed in the middle of the Mississippi mud with
The levies of the 19th century mist on one side the dykes
Of modern Industrialism on the other. And the old
French Quarter, bright eyed and exciting automating the
Cities beginning. Tourists still gasp at its enchanting courtyards...

[Verse 1]

Welcome to the birthplace NOLA is the first place
Where every day we party non-stop like it's your birthday

More than the murder rate, Southern hospitality
Katrina was a lifestyle we lived in actuality
Meet me on Bourbon Street stop and get a daiquiri
And take it to the Calliope, the domicile the Master P

Grubbin' by the Manchu , hangin' on the Riverview
Ridin' on the streetcar coolin' at the House of Blues
Dancin' at the Zulu Ball chillin' by the Port of Call
You can see the Indians and brass bands going off

We can hit St. Claude get a Gene's PO-boy
And every single night somebody gotta show boy

[Hook]

We get to showin' out, get-get to showin' out
We get to showin' out, get-get to showin' out
(Groove City, Groove City, Groove City)

[Verse 2]

Yeah they got a place where everybody go
You already know it's Groove City N-O

Mardi Gras mambo craw fish gumbo
Take it to the 9th ward, Hollygrove or Congo

The land of the Who Dat the city of the breeze
Where the ladies love to bounce and the fellas stackin' G's
Mondays never blue we eating rice and red beans

Anywhere you go you can taste the cuisine
Chillin' on the lake barbecuing on the grill
Deep in the Superdome aka the battlefield

From the 3rd Ward to 17
Eastbank to West
My city is unique
New Orleans is the best
