The Underestimation of Cleveland

The rusted belt is tight in our hometown city. Black smoke masks the lights In one gaseous setting; the permenant fitting Of our hometown city Trees exchange steel In our hometown city. You’ve never seen the wheels churn and the deals burnt In the factories that take pity On the nitty-gritty of our Own hometown city. The last laughs with us In our hometown city We don’t’ ride the Cali bus, But yea, I'd say we are witty, cause al'the prettiest girls Live in our hometown city. The river’s been burnt In our hometown city. Yea we’ve learned a lot From our own ad(e)missions; And now, clinics fill prescriptions in ourown hometown city In my own hometown city We’re slicker than you, Even though our York’s isn’t new… Why? Watch my city revive in Front of your eyes- then ask me; Why is this your hometown city?
