This is a Sacramento pride song. Sacramento is the capital of California and my lifelong home. It's a beautiful city full of culture that is too often overlooked. I'm working on an EP called Born and Raised which is dedicated to Sacramento. I've always wanted to see the world and I'm going to be leaving soon, so I wanted to extract everything I love about this city and process all my feeling surrounding leaving it, then put it all on a record. Hope you enjoy this video :) (All footage was shot by me.)
Lyrics:
Uh, uh, where you at?
Uh, uh, where you at?
Uh, uh, where you at?
Uh, uh, where you at?
Sacramento is my home
I was born and raised
And Cali is my state
But the state of things
Is getting worse every day
But we still gon' play
At these shows, cuz you know
That the people need flames
Wildfires ain't enough
To fuck shit up
Motherfuckers gonna learn
To bump this scum
Cuz we rose to the top
Of the pond
Yeah, this ecosystem
Is tainted by players
Who'll rob you for your chain
And take your name
Drag it through the dirt
And call it flames
But you're really getting defamed
By these wannabes
Who wanna please everyone
But they can't seem to bum shit
Cuz their arteries
Are clogged by these toxins
That's why they're detoxing
Cuz the streets are tainted
This disease is dangerous
To my knees, I'm praying
And we're all afflicted
Yeah, it's called addiction
Sactown
Get down
We down
To fuck shit up
So, let's get up
And get down
This is our town
Sactown
Uh, uh, where you at?
(This is our home!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(We live here!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(Let's make it clear!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(We're Sactown!)
Sactown
Get down
We down
To fuck shit up
So, let's get up
And get down
This is our town
Sactown
Sacramento is the intersection
Between two rivers
So consider this a dissection
Of different cultures
Getting ripped apart by vultures
I used to think Capitalism
Was a prison
But it's really our salvation
Depending what you make it
Honest work'll make you
A decent man
I'll hold your hand
We can stand side by side
If you see me to be
Another human being
But it's up to you to decide
Sacramento is our home
Getting bigger every day
And I'm not gonna play
I'm leaving home
I'll leave a note
I'm on to bigger things
I love the little things
On a bigger note
Sactown
Get down
We down
To fuck shit up
So, let's get up
And get down
This is our town
Sactown
Uh, uh, where you at?
(I'm leaving!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(I'll see ya!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(I'm moving on!)
Uh, uh, where you at?
(Life's a movie!)
