Translation

Jermaine Dupri
After the party it's the Waffle House,
If you ever been here you know what I'm talkin about.
After the social event, we will then make our way to the Waffle House dining establishment. You would be quite familiar with this tradition if you call Atlanta your place of residency.

Where people don't dance, all they do is hiss,
And after the original you know what it is.
Individuals do not dance here; instead all they do is hiss. Following the original ‘Welcome to Atlanta’ song, one should be aware of what’s to come: the obligatory remix.

Ludacris
Welcome to Atlanta…

Jermaine Dupri
Remix it had to go down,
I got somethin’ else to tell you 'bout the new Motown.
A remix of the original Welcome to Atlanta song had to be created, due to my newly discovered facts about the city known as a modern-day Motown – Atlanta, Georgia.

Where people don't visit, they move out here,
And ain't no tellin’ who you might see up in Lennox Square.
When one experiences Atlanta, Georgia, they may very well be inclined to establish a permanent residency here instead of simply visiting. There’s also no predetermined list of individuals one may encounter when visiting Lennox Square Mall in Atlanta.

I don't know about you but I miss the Freaknik,
Cause that's where my city used to be real sick.
I have fond past memories for Freaknik, the annual party in Atlanta primarily for African American college students, for this is when I believed the city was at its grandest state of affairs.

People from other cities use to drive for miles,
Just to come to get a taste of this A.T.L. style.
Folks from distant locales would travel to the event just to have a small experience of what Atlanta is all about.

I'm the M.B.P., Most Ballin’-ist Player,
Make my own move, call me the mayor.
If a title were setup to represent the player who balled the most, it could befittingly be given to me. Due to my individuality, one could also give me the title of “the mayor.”

Monday night you know things change with time,
Magic sittin’ back lookin’ like eighty-nine.
As one may be very aware of already, events change over time.

All the homies on the southside up in the Ritz,
Tuesday night, the Velvet Room same shit.
Fellow acquaintances may be staying in the Ritz-Carlson hotel on Monday. On the following day, we may visit the Velvet Room dance club.

Wednesday, Strokers I don't go no mo',
Cause they don't know how to treat you when you come through the do'.
On Wednesdays, I have decided to frequent the club Strokers no longer. This is due to their inability to properly treat a customer such as myself.

Thursday night, was Plush but we moved to fuel,
And I be up in the booth drunk actin’ a fool.
The next night we visited the Atlanta club known as “Plush,” but later decided to move on to another club known as “Fuel.”

Friday night, at Kaya they still got love,
And the Sharkbar we poppin’ like it's a night club.
Our week of enjoyment continues as on Friday we journey to the Kaya Club due to their loyal affection for artists such as us. The same can be said for the Sharkbar watering hole as well.

Saturday still off the heezy fo' sheezy,
You can find me up in One Tweezy.
As the weekend begins, I’m still quite favorable of Saturdays. On this momentous day one can expect to locate me at the infamous Club 112 (or “One Tweezy” to those in-the-know).

Sunday getting’ me some sleep please,
I'm on my way to the deck then hittin’ Jazzy T's, holla!
I will then utilize Sunday as the traditional Sabbath and use it for rest. This will not last long, however, as I immediately plan on going to Jazzy T’s afterwards, a popular strip club venue in Atlanta.

P. Diddy (talking)
Hey yo I'm from New York man!
Representin’ N.Y.C. to the fullest
Attention, please! I do indeed hail from the great state of New York. In fact I’ll be the official representative of New York City in my following verse.

I pull it, Heads be duckin’ in New York be bussin’,
Take that....
I take my firearm out and begin to shoot rounds. This is how New York should receive it.

P. Diddy
Welcome to New York mothafuckas, where we don't play,
And out of towners get got like everyday.
Greetings from the great state/city of New York! Here, you can be most certain of the fact that we do not fool around when it comes to serious issues such as money handling and property lines. In fact, if you’re not a permanent resident here, you may be in for severe tribulations.

And a gangstas a gangsta in every way,
Sittin’ on twenty two's, this what long money do.
Not to mention a mobster indeed follows the definition of one up and down. Your automobile may as well have 22-inch rims, as this is what occurs when one possesses large sums of cash.

Now the don's on it, Diddy shine on it,
Tell Flex to run it back and drop a bomb on it.
And as I am now perfecting my section on this track, please tell Funkmaster Flex to rewind that previous section and mix it with certain audio effects.

Sunday we layin’ low, and Halo sippin’ cris and we straight,
Monday we go to Bungalow 8.
On Sunday we casually rest while imbibing upon the expensive champagne known as “Cristal.” We then begin the hectic work-week on Monday with a voyage to the local Bungalow 8 bar located on 27th Street in New York.

Tuesday I'm in a spa, drunk, doin’ the shake,
And for the rest of the week we just follow the freaks.
After such a draining day of partying, I revert to a relaxing hot tub on Tuesday and I am undoubtedly under the influence of alcohol. The remainder of the week is devoted to obtaining females and doing unnatural acts with them.

You can spot us out of town by the way that we walk,
The way that we talk, cocky, the state of New York.
You can most certainly distinguish us from various other locals via our methods of dressing, moving, and communicating. We act better than our fellow humans due to ourselves being from the grand state of New York.

Hot now, top down at the Rucker game
New coupe, no roof, playa what's my name?
I am indeed desirable for now I am at a basketball game at Rucker Park in downtown New York City with a convertible vehicle, which is indeed a new coupe style. I feel that my status is so grandiose; you should indeed verbally state my name.

Now Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten,
Uptown what now?! Let's make it happen…
I, P. Diddy, fully represent all parts of New York including Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island.

P. Diddy (talking)
New York mothafuckas, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
We still here! And we buildin’ four more new towers, mothafuckas!
I am a firm believer in that if one can become successful in such a difficult city as New York, they can in turn become successful anywhere else throughout the world. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were indeed devastating upon the city, but as you can clearly view, we remain here and we are indeed building more skyscrapers.

Murphy Lee
Who say St. Louis ain't hip hop? Dirty we hop to what's hip,
I'm a lunatic with too much grip to let a slip.
Which individual made the grave mistake of stating that St. Louis, Missouri isn’t up-to-date with current urban trends? I suggest you do not forget my previous status of a member of the St. Lunatics rap clique, nor should you misplace the information of me having much control in the rap industry.

I'm so St. Louis, ask my tattooist,
I was like the waterboy, now they sayin’, “You can do it!”
But I digress. Let me restate the fact of my personal upbringing in the fine city of St. Louis, for my body art modification supervisor will confirm this. Similar to the comedic character Adam Sandler played in the 1998 film, The Waterboy, various backers now support my actions verbally.

I'm Baby Houie, one of the best in the Louie,
Sip Louie smoke louie, dressed in Louie.
I’m undoubtedly one of the overall most-successful individuals in St. Louis, for indeed I smoke marijuana, drink alcoholic beverages, and all the while remain dressed in Louis Vutton clothing.

Home of back porches, chucks, and air forces
Old school cars be trailblazin’ like Portland
While still on the subject of my hometown, let’s not forget that several local normalities exist, such as rear house porches, Chuck Taylors (a style of Converse shoes), and Air Forces, the popular shoes manufactured by Nike. Vintage cars also “trailblaze”new roadways similar to the NBA team, the Portland Trailblazers.

The girls are the best like Travis with fat asses,
I call 'em gimme girls they always tell me I can have it.
The females here are all extremely attractive for they have an abundant amount of buttocks. I prefer to call them “gimme girls” for they’re constantly telling me I can have intercourse with them.

All got habits Marijuana to static,
By two cats and coats with automatics.
We all have personal rituals, whether it be smoking upon cannabis or creating feuds with other fellows. Our personal belongings may also include outer-worn winter clothing and automatic firearms.

St. Louis is the truth like Sojourner,
Don't need a burna we learn from Ike Turner.
The city in which I dwell, St. Louis, is indeed free of misconceptions and falsities. It is therefore safe to say that it is the “truth” in an oddly related simile to Sojourner Truth, the American abolitionist born into slavery in the early 1800’s. Another piece of wisdom that we’ve picked up is the fact that we don’t necessarily require a handgun, for we learned the dire consequences of its ownership from one music star, Ike Turner.

I tried to told ya don't cross that bridge,
Without permission from the St. Lunatics.
My rap clique, the St. Lunatics, act as a virtual toll way granting access to those we deem fit to enter our fair city. Those doing so without just reason may find themselves in a grand dilemma.

Jermaine Dupri (talking)
Yo-yo-yo-yo
Ladies and gentlemen, we got the big Snoop Dogg in the house tonight,
He just came from off tour,
And he wanna tell y'all little bit where he come from.
We indeed have a special guest on the microphone tonight, for rapper Snoop Dogg recently completed his last widespread concert tour and he wishes to inform listeners about the locale he refers to as “home.”

Snoop Dogg
Palm trees, bad bitches and wanna bees,
O.G.'s like me eatin on polyseeds.
Here in the grand state of California, images of palm trees, attractive females, and certain posers come to mind. In fact, “original gangsters” such as myself also indulge upon polyseeds.

Now laters, jellybeans, and wallabies,
Real niggas from the set I'm hardly ever seen.
When dealing with candy, Now-N-Laters and jellybeans are popular, as are the Australian macropod, the wallaby. There are in fact some people here that are not who they claim to be, for I’ve yet to see them on the street.

Mostly heard us sell a bird off the cizzurb,
They movin yep, we hop and then we swizzurve.
For here we’re likely to sell a brick of cocaine on the street, and to avoid criminal prosecution, we then enter our vehicle and quickly evacuate the premises.

Alot of homies like to wear the pizzerm,
Hair longer than hers short with the fizzurbs.
A particular style noted around these regions is the everlasting permanent, in which the males’ hair is often longer than women’s.

Doggy dizzog you know I like 'em dizzog,
Like Kobe to Shaq so take that.
My name is indeed Snoop Dogg, and I enjoy making nonsensical words for this is my style. I also enjoy comparing myself to various noted basketball players for no apparent reason.

Long Beach is on the mother fuckin map,
The city by the sea, R.I.P.
The city which I represent, Long Beach, CA, is indeed listed on a map of the area. One of its nicknames is “city by the sea” due to it’s closeness to the ocean.

JD, you know about the L.B.C.
My niggas love these dealas, cold hearted killas
Jermaine Dupri: I am certain you’re competently knowledgeable about Long Beach, California. My fellow friends are quite fond of the drug dealers in this area, for they take no slack or disrespect from anyone and are therefore rather willing to end feuds briskly in a violent manner.

Real cap peelas, real niggas feel us,
Ain't no squeelas, alot of dopes dealers.
The aforementioned dealers are indeed carrying firearms, and they are not afraid to operate them in a just manner. In my city, there is not surprisingly a lack of people willing to give incriminating information to police officials. There is, however, a surplus of marijuana sellers.

Bang, diggy dang dang, dogg pound, gangsta crip gang
Yeah we do the damn thang.
The Crip gang, which I personally belong to, performs its objectives in a timely and efficient manner.

Home of coroners, scoop, buck, cocaine,
Head to the church house, to get a little workout.
My city is also home to people dealing with dead bodies, the acts of scooping (picking up women), bucking (preparing one’s self for a fight), and of course, cocaine. I could then perhaps venture to the local whorehouse to entertain myself with some females and get a physical workout.

Smoke out drink up, now put ya bank up,
It's all on me I got a scenery to stank up.
I now command you to inhale marijuana smoke while showing off your substantial wealth. As for me, my short-term goal is to smoke weed.

Crank up the beat, raise up the heat,
I'm throwin a block party on two one streets, fo' sho.
Adjust the music’s volume to a higher decibel level whilst simultaneously showing off your weapon. This can occur while I host a prestigious social event on public streets.

Jermaine Dupri
Welcome to Atlanta (remix hey!),
And we ride on dem thangs like ev-er-y day.
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsters roamin’,
And parties don’t stop 'til eight in the mo'nin’.
This song on which we are currently rapping is entitled the “Welcome to Atlanta remix,” and one can be positive that we live lavishly no matter where our current legal place of residence is. We enjoy our music at high volumes and once a person is on the street, he/she can surely see gangsters moving about. Our festivals also last into the early morning, often until 8:00 AM.

Ludacris
Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play,
And we ride on dem thangs like ev-er-y day.
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsters roamin’,
And parties don’t stop 'til eight in the mo'nin’.
See above.
