Welcome to The Kenny D Show. I'm your host Kenny D!!!
Me and my boy James (bboyrevelation) decided to remix Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys into T.O. State of Mind. Let it be known that we aren't the first to do this - Toronto's Kiss 92.5 has their own version as well as Ron D. featuring Kim Davis. So show them some love for representing for Toronto and visit their channels.
This video is just the first verse and chorus from the first day of writing just to give a taste! I'm not a rapper and James isn't a singer, WE JUST DOIN WHAT WE LOVE DOIN.
Audio's not the best, so check the lyrics below:
[VERSE]
Yea I'm on the TTC, riding the rocket
Always got my metropass in my back pocket
Home of the blue jays, hailin' from the Skydome
You can call it T-dot, I call it my home
And we straight hustle, growin' up in Scarborough
Life is good on Bay Street, Galloway is hard though
Shoutouts to Jane and Finch, reppin' for Etobicoke
Out there in the west end, we know how the story goes
Bring yourself to Greek town, pick up a shawarma
Everyone's at home even though we're all foreigners
Lots of minorities, but nothin' really minor
If you feelin Chinese food, get off at Spadina
Head over to Yonge and Finch, taste a little kimchi
Buy the bar at Government until your wallet's empty
Work hard to play hard, that's why they respectin' me
Tell by my swagger, that I'm most definitely from
[CHORUS]
Toronto
Different cultures livin' in brotherhood
Reppin' for one hood
Up in Toronto
We livin' life with no limits
Forever we hustlin'
Throw up your T-O, T-O, T-O
i wanna wrok with you
and give reply back or msg me
i m from t.dot too

@blujay262 thanks for your comment. jay-z is definitely not god, but i won't lie, i think he's a talented artist and an inteligent business man. many people make it to the top, but you have to smart to stay there. but of course, everyone has their own preferences. toronto represent
