about

This is a song about the city of New Orleans. It is a dedication to the streets, the music, the culture that is my core and the resilient people of the 504.

lyrics

Tell ya’ bout a funky lil place I know
Way down past the swamp and the moss
Things ain’t big in the easy like they once were
But the people still are tough

You ain’t gotta wait til the weekend to catch a live band with that groove
You can eat all day, dance all night and walk around with your booze

I done been all over the world
Seen beauty from coast to coast
But there’s still one place at the bottom of the map were
Folks are the most

The 504, it’s New Orleans
The 504

Gherttown, Niggatown, Holygrove, Magnolia to the Melpomene
The sun shines brighter when it shines on the Gulf Coast
Finest thing you ever seen
Lower 9, Gentilly, Uptown, Midcity, jumping til the break o’ day
They all wanna know where eI got dat swag from, I got it down in Treme

I done been all over the world
Seen beauty from coast to coast
But there’s still one place at the bottom of the map were
Folks are the most

The 504, it’s New Orleans
The 504
Lemme tellya bout where I'm from

Ooh nah nay we got the fire
Whole lot of soul, passion and desire
Roots run deep, more than jambalaya
been through it all down here in the bayou
Ooh nah nay we got the fire
Whole lot of soul, passion and desire
Roots run deep, more than jambalaya
been through it all…
