76
G.Capella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

65 25 Parkline Drive
And like always I'm kicking it live
Wanna call the fellas to see if they is with this
Gonna get down with the sounds of big breakfast
Start off the day with some Bob Marley
Back to the woods for that fresh parlay
Maybe even spark a little Nicki J.
And then it's off to center city in the fastest way
'Cause if you've gotta get downtown real quick
Then the only way to go is I-76
Unless of course you want to take that scenic view
Then East or West River Drive is right for you
But if you ain't got any time to lose
Put the pedal to the metal for that voyage cruise
And get on down to I-76
Because in 1996 there ain't no tricks in the mix

Back in 1982, man it was real cool
And in school if we got good grades and straight up A's
Our parents would take us to a 76ers game
I got my game and there ain't no shame
Big shots for Mo Cheeks and Moses Malone
Julius Erving called Philly his home
Bobby Jones, Daryl Dawkins, Andrew Toney sinking threes
Rocky Balboa comes from south Philly
But if you want to make it on time to the show
There's only one road that you really have to know, so
Get to Fishtown without all that jive
I suggest that you drive on I-95
Wanna get downtown but feeling in a fix
Get on that road they call 676
The most expensive expansive piece of interstate they ever made
The fellas ain't famous but they got good game
Get along 76ers
Charles Barkley dissed Larry Bird
Get along 76ers
Charles Barkley dissed Larry Bird

Shh-Hoops the middle man now disguised as the Joy
Valentine Smiles to the Katman play
Loungin' leather seats 76 gettin' nice
Cadillac D.B.L. Kristopher pulled the heist
Expressway expression Soda Pop is pressin'
Up another piece baby new year painted session
I'm guessin' the answer to the question
All the Philly Fellas livin' life as a profession
Destined to escape a la Spector
Ah Wilderness yea prep jetta boy
Friday night rap Broncos and Pepper Shakers
In the city Ice Dogs Love show I the skyscraper
The route man it's I-76
I'm checkin' Otto Shoup singin' Davey Quickness
Li Li of the Va Li love a ligum everyday
I'm givin' praise from High Hill Juice to Philly

But if you've gotta get downtown real quick
Then the only way to go is I-76
Unless of course you wanna take that scenic view
Then East or West River Drive is right for you
But hope you ain't got any time to lose
Put the pedal to the metal for that voyage cruise
And get on down to I-76
'Cause in 1996 there ain't no tricks in the mix
Get along 76ers
Charles Barkley dissed Larry Bird
Get along 76ers
Dr. J! Moses Malone




Get along 76ers
Jerry Stackhouse and Iverson
