-Intro (Avant, Krayzie &Wish)-
Oh... Ooh... Cleveland rocks. Cleveland Rocks. Cleveland Oh yeah. Bone Thugs sing with me. Cleveland rocks. Cleveland Rocks.
(Cleveland is the city that we come from... Cleveland is the city, city that we come from...) Cleveland rocks. Cleveland Rocks. [Big bad St. Clair]
Krayzie
Nigga was born and brought up in Cleveland/ Cool, quiet, just like my daddy, but I was thuggin' out in the alley with my boys in a stolen Cadi
I was shootin the breeze, blowin' some weed, and every now and then I sip some Hennessy
And after my niggas was bustin' we probably was lookin' for trouble/ Uh oh, here come the Po-Po/ Ya'll better toss that llello quick and tuck your bankroll/ Don't think I forgot where I come from dog, cuz I know; Cleveland, Ohio fo' sho' where we slung dope in the snow
Wish
I'm from the streets, the streets of Cleveland/ It's mandatory, ya need it cuz niggas'll catch ya slippin' and niggas will leave ya bleedin'/ Fuck what they said about Bone/ Catch us anywhere/ Grab a couple of my St. Claire niggas, take us anywhere; We don't care/ Handle that, take care of that/ If it go like that then it go like that/ That's Cleveland (Cleveland) It's mandatory to leave these niggas bleedin' (bleedin') And you can never hate against Bone, you wrong/ You know we brung it on so strong, go home
Layzie
We did it, split 'em, we hit 'em and Bone been the shit since I can remember (remember) Before most of these niggas even thought about rap we was screamin' out "No Surrender!" With a gat in a hand runnin' wild in The Land with a pocket full of boulders/ Po-po really couldn't hold us where is these dogs comin' from to show us and the old niggas they told us; You gotta get down for your hustle/ Got glocks to show you this muscle/ Get the money lil' nigga don't struggle/ Trust no bitch, nigga, that's the rules/ What my Cleveland niggas said to me for the ones that gave this game to me/ I'm-a push this shit from A to Z
Bizzy
Can niggas believe that need I be scared when I was there nigga you know I ain't goin' nowhere/ Your mother was my mother, your brother was right here/ Went to Columbus but they love me not (why, why...) When I went to Cleveland they said "Where ya been?" But I'm unconditional with my lovin' and that's for C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D and we get buck' on the block, block, block, block/And niggas remember I said weed is for me and all the niggas that love me down in Columbus/ Nigga, Cleveland rocks
-Chorus (Avant, Krayzie &Wish)-
Oh...(Cleveland is the city that we come from... Cleveland is the city, city that we come from) [Big bad St. Clair]
