This is not the official them song for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. However, it a rap song about Vancouver and the Olympics that expresses my opposing feelings about us hosting the games and dealing with the city's problems. I love the city and am excited about the Olympics, I wish we were able to have the same passion and money for fixing local problems as we do for showcasing the best we have to offer to the world.
Vancity, show your love, we got the five rings coming to town
Lets welcome the Olympics to the v dot
Let me show you around all the tourist spots
The downtown eastside is a lot of fun
You can shoot up and you don't need a gun
This is the west coast but you're in the eastside
We don't drink and drive, we get high and fly
Over here's where you buy the weed to get high
But walk a few blocks and you can really fly
Our bridge at Capilano's only 20 bones
Spend it on weed and come to Lynn to get stoned
The gondola to Grouse is 37.95
Or do the Grind for free and hope you don't die
15 days, 15 days
No sun in the city for 15 days
In the mainland in the winter its rainy and grey
No snow on the mountains so we got to use hay
This is G-Pain in the house
Lets welcome the Olympics to the v dot
Let me show you around all the tourist spots
The downtown eastside is a lot of fun
You can shoot up and you don't need a gun
A billion over here, a billion over here
When it comes to housing, sorry little to spare
Come visit Stanley Park, with your bikes or your blades
If you're homeless, bring your tent, no need to pay
We got Starbucks, we got Starbucks, you want Starbucks, we got more
We got Starbucks on the roof, we got Starbucks on the floor
We had Starbuck in the studio, but BSG's no more
Work Starbucks in Vancouver, you'll be sleeping on the floor.
Lets welcome the Olympics to the v dot
Let me show you around all the tourist spots
The downtown eastside is a lot of fun
You can shoot up and you don't need a gun

@theoriginalmcsquare Don't worry, I know I can't rap. But I'm a worse singer, so lucky you I didn't sing that tune, that would have been unbearable.

@mastaace604 Ummm... yeah, a joke. I thought I'd rap since I can't sing. Turns out I can't rap either.

@ranluc I think it's more like T-Pain as he does the auto-tune :)
