I wrote a rap about the town I grew up in, Renton WA. It goes a little something like this:
Rent’n... knows how to party
In the citaaay of Rent’n
In the citaaay of Boeing
In the citaaay of IKEA
We keep it rockin’! We keep it rockin’!
Now let me welcome everybody to the Pacific Northwest
A city that’s untouchable like my Ford Taurus
The track hits ya eardrum like a Boeing jet
Pack some protection, Rent’n is the city of sex
We in the rain city with that bomb ass hemp beat
The city where ya always find chronic on Sunset Street
And pimps be on a mission in badass Fairhood
I’d clear up traffic on 167 if I could
Cubic Zirconia from Pawn Exchange shinin’
Lookin’ like I just robbed my boy Liberace
It’s just okay in Kent and Federal Way
But Rent’n is da bomb ‘cause Rent’n is makin’ pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Out on bail, fresh outta Rent’n jail
This is da life of a Pacific Northwest Playa
But it ain’t no thang to me
‘Cause now I’m what they call a PNW O.G.
Waitin’ for my dealer at a corner on Rainier
Minors outside Chevron tryin’ to buy beer
In Rent’n we wearin’ leather not fur
You best recognize Southcenter is the place fo sho
I’m ready to race, my ride is what I do
Flossin’ but have caution we collide with other crews
Wizard of the Coast dreamin’
Your baby’s momma is screamin’
The life of a Pacific Northwest playa takes balls
You move from Seattle you just might fall
Famous ‘cause we program worldwide
From da west to the far eastside
Our sista city Nishiwaki is pimp in Japan
But I was big pimpin’ at Linbergh ‘cause I’m da woman
Bumpin; and grindin’ like a slow jam, westside
So you know the row won’t bow down or it will wreck
Let’em recognize Rent’n High School and even Rent’n Tech
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat
Let me serenade the streets
From MLK to Grady Way
Petrovitsky and back down
Rent’n is where they put the mack down
Word.
