lyrics
Yeah….Welcome to Virginia, home of the commonwealth
But between me and you, trust me ain’t no commonwealth
New Yorkers come here, this where they relocate at
Everybody knows this, but nobody will say that
757 where I’m from we don’t play that
Unless it’s The Clipse, Lordwillin’ then we play it back
Pretty girls from Virginia Beach they will hurt you
Just like stick-up kids at Military Circle
Downtown Norfolk, where gangsta’s live at
Everybody got guns in Richmond because they kidnap
Out-of-towners and rappers, say they sold drugs here
But you see we live here, never saw ya’ll anywhere
Hates the new love, and Virginia is for Lovers
103 Jamz, remember Buttah brothers
Military bases, girls with pretty faces
Bad court cases, the state you shouldn’t play with
[Chorus]
Virginia, our streets are filled with people from everywhere
You’ll find the good life here,
Welcome to Virginia, land of pretty faces and athletes
Where gangsta’s act drastically
Welcome to Virginia, Virginia, Virginia
Blowing cigar smoke next to the Wu-Wear store
Somewhere in Virginia Beach, but it ain’t even there no more
Watch out for them Danville Killers on that other side
P-Town and Bad News, know about that homicide
Northern Virginia, where everything cost a lot
While you think them stores got cameras in the parking lot
People you wouldn’t suspect, sell on the low-low
We next to D.C. why you think we like go-go
We got hip-hop on a string like yo-yo’s
Homie think not, ask Pharrell as Timbo
Ask Missy Elliot, Ask Teddy Riley
Virginia got Heat, and we don’t need Pat Riley
The C.I.A. and the Pentagon is both here
Plus the death penalty, so you better be scared
Plus our lax gun laws means you should beware
When we take over everybody should be prepared
[Chorus]
Virginia, our streets are filled with people from everywhere
You’ll find the good life here,
Welcome to Virginia, land of pretty faces and athletes
Where gangsta’s act drastically
Welcome to Virginia, Virginia, Virginia
Lawrence Taylor is from here, so is Allen Iverson
So is Michael Vick, yup, we are still proud of him
Filipino chicks here, make you do a double-take
Never seen Latin girls like we got in this state
Dark skin, light skin, girls yeah we gotten too
Plus they like to fist fight, and they even model too
Say they don’t drink, but you’ll see them with a bottle too
Jesus walks here, and sometimes he will follow you
Just like oceanfront police, they will follow you
Eight feet tall on horseback they’ll walk by you
People come here from, all over the country
Some find the good life, some leave hungry
Gang violence catch somebody on the monthly
I could go anywhere but here they really love me
Two up, Two down, and I ain’t talking bout push-ups
Think we not next up,
Ya’ll got it mixed up
[Chorus]
Virginia, our streets are filled with people from everywhere
You’ll find the good life here,
Welcome to Virginia, land of pretty faces and athletes
Where gangsta’s act drastically
Welcome to Virginia, Virginia, Virginia
[Bridge]
Two up two down for the big state
Put your fingers in the air for the big state
No place in the world like this state
Everybody in the state let me hear you say Yeah
[Chorus]
Virginia, our streets are filled with people from everywhere
You’ll find the good life here,
Welcome to Virginia, land of pretty faces and athletes
Where gangsta’s act drastically
Welcome to Virginia, Virginia, Virginia
