The Boogie Down Bronx

The Bronx made me even with its Bad Rep,

With every NYC borough getting the full effects

ours stays in constant neglect, no respect

Leaving us last on most things or something to that affect

Dirty streets, smelling of garbage and addicts smelling of piss

But even so nothing in the world compares to this.

Street smarts, determined, and ready for anything

Fast paced, quick on your feet and do nothing less inspiring

Being raised in the Bronx, growing up fast was a must

Becoming independent and learning who and what to trust.

Entertaining the rest, and leaving you in creative awe

With our culture, our determination, and our drive all in all.

Us “Bronxites” or “Bronx bombers” still stand tall!

Get knocked down but jump right back up from a fall

The life of the party We are a Freaking Ball!

With our imaginable creativity pouring through our hearts

The born and raised stand out and can always be told apart

A borough that shapes you to be better because we have no choice

So, if “home is where the heart is” then the Bronx is my voice.

Home of the New York Yankees, and Hip Hop, just to name a few

I am my hometown; I love it and will forever continue to.
