Connecticut by Chris Cookz Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Raised up on the east with the waves at my feet
I been landlocked since '06 it's making me think
Bout childhood years spent on a bike hitting jumps
Or hiking up to see White Rock when I was young
That's where I'm from I'm an east coast kid
Raised up in the middle of little Connecticut
Where, you could have shoes stick to gravel in the summer
But when winter comes around then you better stay bundled
Smack dab in the middle of New York and Boston
Got friends for the Yanks, but I'll always be a Sox fan
No offence, but I wouldn't trade a day
To have been raised in any other place
Where there's sneakers on my feet and I go round a rotary
Whoa is me but soda, not pop, is what I'm ordering
While I'm eating pizza the only way it was meant to be
Wood fired, thin crust from Pepe's, give it all to me
[Chorus]
I'm from Connecticut, proud to say I represent
My nutmeg heritage no matter where my life is at
It's Connecticut, that little state's a legend and
No matter where I go everybody wanna know
What's it like growing up on the east coast
What's it like growing up where I'm from
I'ma tell you all about it and don't ever fuckin doubt it
Cuz Connecticut's the best bar none
[Verse 2]
I been all around the country, seen almost every corner
From Maine out to Nevada and Seattle down to Florida
Lived places permanently and been there as a tourist
But honestly, this is where my heart lives
And I would call you heartless
If you say you've never had a lobster
Or cheered for the Whalers
When they used to play in Hartford
It's just a part of, everything that I do
And everything that I am, it's where everything began
On the beach in the sand is where I got my first tan
On the shores of Misquamicut just chilling with the fam
And I used to be a fan when Rip Ham was the man
Of the Huskies with Khalid El-Amin and all a them
'99 staying up late watching them beat Duke
With Jimmy C at the helm, yeah that team was the truth
And the rings are the proof it was the start of an era
Don't fuck wit Connecticut we raising the banners
[Chorus]
I'm from Connecticut, proud to say I represent
My nutmeg heritage no matter where my life is at
It's Connecticut, that little state's a legend and
No matter where I go everybody wanna know
What's it like growing up on the east coast
What's it like growing up where I'm from
I'ma tell you all about it and don't ever fuckin doubt it
Cuz Connecticut's the best bar none
[Verse 3]
On the highway I'm driving like an asshole
And you best be in the right lane because I'm gonna pass you
Going 85 in a 55 and barely keeping up
That's how I know that I'm home, from 84 to 91
It's all the same where I'm from, 95 to the Merritt Park
Drive it like you stole it or don't drive that shit at all
When that snow starts to fall then you better make a call
To Triple AAA if you ain't got the balls to carry on
We get lake effect snow that piles on to make the cold miserable
Until you prayin for the school to send you home
But at least then you know that it's the, day of the week
When you could, hit up the packy if you feeling like a drink
Cuz Sunday ain't fun day unless you plan ahead
Blue laws from the dark ages that's Connecticut
But I love it, despite all of the baggage on the rack
No matter where I'm at that little states got my back
[Chorus]
I'm from Connecticut, proud to say I represent
My nutmeg heritage no matter where my life is at
It's Connecticut, the state is still a legend and
No matter where I'ma talk until you know
What it's like growing up on the east coast
What it's like growing up where I'm from
See I told you all about it and don't ever fuckin doubt it
Cuz Connecticut's the best bar none
Raised up on the east with the waves at my feet
I been landlocked since '06 it's making me think
Bout childhood years spent on a bike hitting jumps
Or hiking up to see White Rock when I was young
That's where I'm from I'm an east coast kid
