Welcome
Ludacris feat. Jermaine Dupri Lyrics

Yeah, Welcome to Atlanta, jack and hammer and vogues'
Welcome to Atlanta, where we ride in style with expensive cars and trendy fashion

Back to the mackin' and jackin' the clothes, adolescent packin a fo'
We're back to flaunting our wealth and wearing expensive clothes while young teens carry guns

A knock on the do', who is it? I would happen to know, the one with the flow
Someone's knocking on the door, but I already know it's me, the skilled rapper

Who did it?, it was me I suppose
I'm the one responsible for my success and fame

J-D in the Rollz and Luda's in the Cutt Supreme
I'm riding in a luxury Cutt Supreme car with my friend J-D in the Rolls-Royce

Skatin down old Nat, Gat tooked and lean
We're cruising down Old National Highway with our guns and cars

I split ya spleen, as matter' fact I split ya team
I'm so skilled at rapping that I'm able to defeat entire teams with my lyrics

No blood on the sneak's, gotta keep it so my kicks is clean
I don't want any blood on my sneakers, so I make sure to keep them clean

I get the cream, cops see me flick my beams
I make a lot of money and I show off by flashing my car's lights

Im allergic to 'doc perscribed anti-histemines
I have allergies and need to take prescribed medication to manage them

Oink Oink, Pig Pig, do away with the pork
I'm telling people to stop eating pork and embrace a healthier lifestyle

Only siguar needs a steak knife and a fork
The only thing I need for my meal is a cigar, not utensils

Did you forget your fuckin manners, Im loose with banners
People need to show respect and behave properly around me because I won't tolerate rudeness

Ludacris, Johnny Rockets when i shoot the cannon
I'm like a shooting star, unstoppable and powerful like a cannon, and I represent Johnny Rockets fast food chain

The Wooley mammoth saber-tooth, bitch bite your tounge
I'm a beast like a prehistoric Woolly Mammoth and Saber-tooth tiger, so people should be careful what they say to me

I wont stop until Im rich as them white-boy come
I'm determined to be as wealthy as successful white men

I pull up in the black Lotus, you're plaque's are bogus
I arrive in a sleek black Lotus car and your awards and accomplishments are meaningless to me

So I stripped them off the wall
I removed the plaques from the wall as a sign of disrespect

Waiting for my cue to corner pocket eight balls
I'm patiently waiting for my turn to play pool and sink the eight ball

You rackin' 'em up, Im big paper like pancakes, stackin' 'em up
While you're setting up the pool balls, I'm making a lot of money and stacking it up like a pile of pancakes

In fact Im slappin' 'em up, Cadallacin' the truck
I'm making a lot of money quickly and buying a Cadillac truck

I cant loose with 22"s, Bitch thats whats up
I'm unstoppable with my 22-inch rims and nobody can bring me down

Runnin in the back the fuck, runnin better than aquaduct
I'm running fast and smoothly like a waterway aqueduct

chil-li-li-li-li-n.. what
This is just a meaningless sound effect

Yo, Yo.. Yo..Yo, Yo,
This is a popular style of starting a rap verse

Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play
Atlanta is a place where successful and wealthy people thrive

And we ride on them things like every day
We ride expensive cars and enjoy our success every day

Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
There's a vibrant music scene in Atlanta with prominent gangster culture

And parties dont stop til' eight in the mornin'
The party scene in Atlanta is lively and lasts all night

Now the party dont start 'til I walk in
I bring the energy and excitement to any party

And I usually dont leave until the thing ends
I stay at parties until the very end because I love having a good time

But in the mean-time, in between time
In the meantime, while I'm not partying, I'm working on my career and success

You work yo thing, I'll work mine
Everyone has their own path to success and should focus on their own work

I been puttin' it down here since 83'
I've been working hard and making a name for myself in Atlanta since the year 1983

Since the late show MD rivalry
I've been competing against other rappers from the MD area for success

More froze than bad ice, with a place to be
I'm very wealthy and have many places to be, unlike bad ice that's frozen and stuck in one place

If you was ridin, you was ballin to homie Shadi
If you were fortunate enough to ride with me, you were living a baller lifestyle like my friend Shadi

Im the MBP, Most Ballernous Player
I am the Most Ballerous Player and have no equal in my success and wealth

Make my own rules, bitch call me the mayor
I don't follow the rules of others and have control over my own success like a mayor

Monday night, Gentlemen's Club
I spend my Monday nights at a strip club for wealthy men

Tuesday night, Im up in the velvet room, gettin fucked up
I spend my Tuesday nights partying in a VIP area called the Velvet Room

Wednesday, Im at strokers on lean
I spend my Wednesday nights at another strip club called Strokers, where I'm drinking lean

Thursday, jump clean, and I fall up in cream
I spend my Thursday nights bouncing from party to party and drinking Cream liqueur

Friday, shark bar kyack with Frank Skeem, right on the floor is where you can find me
I go to the Shark Bar with my friend Frank Skeem on Fridays and spend most of the time partying on the dance floor

Saturday, is off the heezy fo' sheezy, you can find me up in one-tweezy
Saturdays are always amazing and crazy, and you can find me at club One-Tweezy

Sunday, is when i get my sleepin'
I spend Sundays getting some much-needed rest and sleep

Cause on Monday we be at it again, Holla!
Because on Monday, we get back to work and start the cycle of partying and success all over again
