York Stays Classy

[Kash]
Reppin' YorkU

[Big K]
Yea, about time!

[Runna H]
We finally got our own anthem

[Shawn Beanz]
Check it out now

[Big K]
You want it, you need it, we got it.

[Kash, Shawn Beanz, Runna H, Big K]
cuz this is how we hold it down.

[Big K]
you want it, you need it, we got it.

[Kash]
To other universities,
we still here
after all of the adversity.
Probably due to our outstanding diversity.
Got a club for each ethnicity.
York's the celebrity in proximity with all of the publicity.
Oh no no!
Got too many things here for me to see.
Presidents plus faculties.
Residence and libraries.
McAdams, Knaan and Kardinal
Make this school more Offishal.
And at the corner of Jane and Finch
Means we won't flinch an inch.
Pushing limits, breaking rules,
Remaining so lawless.
With Stong and New College, your knowledge always flawless.
But man,
These girls at Bethune will make you swoon.
No point looking for a cure
Cuz no one is immune.
Pretty girls everywhere; at York they're all around.
Just drop by on Thursday to the Underground.
Don't mess with McLaughlin.
If you see them, keep on walking.
September to May, its Calumet.
Winters, never go away.
Vanier, it's time to play.
And Founders, nothin' more to say.
From '59 til today,
York's the place to stay.

[Big K]
[Chorus]
Fighting til the Break of Dawn.
Everyone's gone
when they see us come on.
cuz York Stays Classy, York Stays Classy, York Stays Classy
We're gonna do what we gotta do and
Deep in the heart of the YorkU Jungle,
you will always hear the lions rumble, York Stays Classy
York Stays Classy, York Stays Classy, York Stays Classy

[Shawn Beanz]
Welcome to YorkU, the red and white district.
Just like a Cincinnati red and white fitted.
You know we keep it hot.
Neva be cooling off.
Keep it so street on YorkU Boulevard.

And we the lions that can't be tamed
You know where to find me, chilling by York Lanes.
Different types of cultures; not tryna to hurt ya.
So many dimes at our school, call that ish loose change.

Got the crispy nice flow, singing with the high note.
50 thousand plus, you can fill the whole SkyDome.

Keep it so real, neva gonna lose, times of our lives, but heads in the books.
Keep it so fly, from my head to my shoes,
You can always find me headed to school.

Or sitting by the pond; no, that ain't no Lakeshore.
Or chilling by the fieldhouse; no it ain't consenco,
Cuz we da best; case closed.
Only business; stakehold.
Gonna run for York prezzy; vote for me, no Pedro

Cuz our school here is bigger than the universe.
We da lion pack leading all you other uni herds.
It's York boy, we don't live in no southern town.
Always bring the fire cuz we live in the underground.

So stop by York, we got everybody's cup of tea
From brown to Chinese food, and some very tasty bubble tea,
So y'all think we underneath, suddenly we up the heat
Keep it so class cuz we got the best luxuries.

[Big K]
[Chorus]

You want it, you need it, we got it.

[Kash, Shawn Beanz, Runna H, Big K]
cuz this is how we hold it down.

You want it, you need it, we got it.

[Hiren]
We got Schulich; Ivy league; business school handling pressure.
Glendon campus got the French, and their swag is mighty fresher,
Wizard of Oz's rules are good, but Osgoode law is better
From Bethune to Winters, we get it done; no time to fester.
That's classy.
Our girls are hotter than the summer.
Other university guys, they just sit, stare at them and wonder.
And our lions, we hear 'em roar, every time our sports team scores.
York accepts everyone in, from the privileged to the poor.
And we're getting better; you've never seen a school this good before.
Our students are on top, while yours just dirty up the floor.
We're trailblazers, masterminds, always unlocking new doors.
Cause we're ahead of our time; we know what the future has in store.
Cause we classy.

[Big K]
[Chorus]

You want it, you need it, we got it.
you want it, you need it, we got it.

[CashSage3]

@Michael41254 That Ain't Classy- Classified

[Michael41254]

does anyone know the name of the original song ???

[singdancesmilelaugh]

Niceeeeee! :D

[CashSage3]

@Colombiandawg09 That's cool. You're entitled to your own opinion. However, I personally don't see how it makes York ghetto. We did this to spin things about York in a positive light like the reputation of Jane and Finch. We also unified all colleges, and kept true to the school. But I do understand that the tone is basic. We used Classified's song and tried to keep true to the original beat. We did have underlying synths as well as layered voices that can't be heard as clearly through YouTube.

[Colombiandawg09]

Don't really like the song. Its making York seem "ghetto". Plus its repetitive (no change in tone if you know what i mean)... not what I was expecting.

[jologo200]

[mrcurse1]
