Omar Offendum DC Guide
Verse 2:
I used to run around Tysons on some D M C
Till I got my own license at the D M V
Started to hit the city nightly on the G DUB P
Thats the Parkwayyy
We called it the "Sparkwayyy"
Me & T
Had dreams of blowin up like T N T
The Beltway Bombers promisin to pay homage
Red yellow blue green orange line delay on it
Marvin Gaye - Kwame Toure' - still gettin taxed w/ no say on it
Let freedom ring like Curtis Doyle - i need a ring
Tone rapper to realize im a grown rapper
Showin these yappers & whipper snappers ill be the king
Ruling the world & not blowin it like when Kurtis sings
The breaks & blues - big band rhythms & swing
Duke Ellington's U street
Cherry Blossoms in Spring
REDSKINS - CAPITALS
WIZARDS - NATIONALS
DC's for Da Capitol
These are a few of my favorite things!
Chorus:
I got that DC pride
Movin w a swagger - that's my DC stride
Take em through the streets - like a DC guide
Maryland n Virgina - yeah we DC wide
Riiiight ... ?
This that DC pride
Glidin thru the city on a DC high
The free world capital - this DC ma
Make & Break (the) rules - thats what DC liiiike
Haaa ... !
Verse 2:
We in this District of Columbia - city of imperfections
Where homeless people sleep beneath the monument's erections
The type of place decisions made by which you be effected
Where Mayors caught smokin a rock can still get re-elected
Really eclectic
Murder cap - not to be effed with
Washington Bullets flyin
Like Rod Strickland in red fits
Entries & exits
To the politickers a nexus
We welcomin Obama but Bush was better in Texas
Federal inspectors
Lobbyists - generals - sexists
Abmassadors & metro passengers
Carry protection
In every direction
NORTH - SOUTH - EAST to the WEST END
Cemetary where my pop's restin
The cops dressed in
Blue & black
Leavin brothers black & blue
Evidence markers numbered like the street signs too
14th - 16th - 18th on through
Three stars - two stripes - red & white
Thanks to you I got that …
Chorus:
I got that DC pride
Movin w a swagger - that's my DC stride
Take em through the streets - like a DC guide
Maryland n Virgina - yeah we DC wide
Riiiight ... ?
This that DC pride
Glidin thru the city on a DC high
The free world capital - this DC ma
Make & Break (the) rules - thats what DC liiiike
Haaa ... !

It's taxation without representation
But now its time to represent
Represent – what!
