Oriole Magic

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat] Had to do this, even if it's corny To go show love for the home team Delivered me out of some dark days From 33rd down to OPACY, see... I love the O's even when they suck Why? Cause their magic never, ever gives up Or out on me. So, come on team! Keep ringing the wins up Used to be like Ben McDonald--a touted rookie with fire stuff But didn't know how to harness it...so I had to go and pack it up Now a couple years later, I'm Cal Ripken Mixed with Adam, and a lot of heart Rap game's Eric Davis Even some sort of cancer couldn't shut me up Call me Robinson, I'm Frank with the bars When I swing, hit the stars And the moon, I hit it there... Like the Lottery signs at Camden Yard Always got my orange and black on Even when the Ravens are on Because this is Birdland, and coexistence is our freedom I'm a Jockey for the bars, but I'm never in the briefs Sorry, Mr. Palmer, but I had to make that riff The magic's got me, and it's never letting go Now give it up one time for our Orioles [Hook] [Sample of "Oriole Magic] [Verse Two: Speed on the Beat] This is a remix to an old classic, dudes But I'm using it in fair enough use, so please don't sue Or throw me in the ocean hon, no crabs for me And not every Baltimorean talks like they show on TV So, don't let them fool you, by all the "dugs" and "ayos" Or the Pigtown accents, in this Bawldamore Diversity is the key, and we have tons of it The fact I'm rapping on Oriole Magic should show this man! Feel it happen, let it take you over...when you enter here It's not the cleanest city no, but the water's kind of clear I don't like Natty Boh, though, gimme a 151 But I still rep 410 like a prodigal son... Still got my Raffie cards, even though he's kind of shunned And though Robbie went in as a Jay, I still love Alomar And lemme take it back, for those that didn't know Mr. October? Technically twice an Oriole [Verse Three: Speed on the Beat] Third verse, had to go switch up son To go get this one done I was raised on half-and-halfs and Marty Bass Had crushes on Kellye Lynn and Lori Pinson Al Sanders was like my dad, so when he passed I heard about it during an Orioles game, if I can properly recall My actual father was blown, since they kinda looked alike Guess he thought his time was up, or close to, so the fight That he had, it began to grow, until his body crumbled We weren't ever too close, but the moment he died muddled A great day, I saw the pain in my mom's eyes Yeah, he was old, but still doesn't make it any less of a surprise One of the best memories I have of Papa Speed Was him taking me to Oriole Park So, if you want another reason why I love this team? For better or worse, they are ingrained in my heart My first love...even before Raquel And I'll stick by their side, through heaven and hell...
