“I am New Orleans”
You know growing up as a young child
I never understood what it meant to be
From New Orleans,,
I mean I knew it was
Something different, historical, traditional, & unique
About this place,
But Oh as time passed..
Sitting around waiting for that
Time of the year
It was something
That filled you with great cheer
Super Sunday, Yellow Pocahontas, Lady Buckjumpers
Come on nah tell me you not from
New Orleans
Fat Tuesday 8:00 a.m. best believe it
Was Zulu bout to roll
I mean I am New Orleans
From eating Red Beans and Rice on a
Monday and at the end of the
Week fried seafood
I am a true New Orleanian
Sitting on the River Front watching the fireworks on New Years
Walking down the streets of Canal, and
Around that Superdome home of
Your New Orleans Saints
Tell me you know what New Orleans is
There’s a lot about this city people don’t know or fail to realize
I am New Orleans by the way I
Walk and the way I talk
I am proud to be a New Orleanian
New Orleans has shaped me
To realize that
Everywhere and everyone is different
We don’t do the same things
But we enjoy and still remain
But one thing I will always
Remember is here
In New Orleans
We are a family
And I am proud to say I am a true New Orleanian
