about
Cle-Funk is a hometown hymn for the summer. It is also the first collaboration between DJ Red-I and MellowMan Funk since their track, “Trip to Jamaica,” made in 2020. The duo has returned with another tune, as chill as it is charming. It blends nostalgic hip-hop lyricism with 80s synth-funk and a squealing talk box.
lyrics
Cleveland is where I lay
Cleveland is where I stay
Cleveland is where I lay
Cleveland is where I stay
Cleveland is where I lay
Cleveland is where I stay
Cleveland is where I lay
Cleveland is where I stay
Take a ride wit me down
To the land where me and my mans be on the grind
Tryna plot up on some grands
Gotta get it how I live be the slogan
I'mma get it then be in the wind like that, that I be smoking
I be tokin on I-90, headed to the west side
I be over there but see the east that be the best side
Real Cleveland playas hit the streets off in them old schools
Ain't runnin from nothin but the police, cuz them will hold u
Down, like they sposed to
I gots to clock a grizzip
Everybody I know on they BS or they business
A million and one churches, murderers that be religious
They smokin on the opps & for the homies pour a fizzith
Black & mild caps tossed all up in the sewer
Summer time barbecues, all the brews in the cooler
Crack one, crack two if you had you a long day
Lookin' for me you can find me right where the song say, cuz
Cleveland is where I lay
Yeah thats where I lay my head at
Cleveland Is where I stay
Talkin down on the land you can dead that
Cleveland is where I lay
Or this is where you get left at
Cleveland Is where I stay
And you can bet that
They was shooting on the other side of t-uh-town
It was goin down on the other s-uh-side of town
Better be ready to play the game if you in them streets
Don't be no lame, just maintain when you in the C
Ain't no tellin what they stashed underneath the seat
Or what they sellin but its nothin 12 need to see
We was in the whip, rollin up the reefer leaf
Plottin on a bag, tryna see what we could eat
Let's smoke by the lake and get a clear head
We be up early tryna keep our belly fed
Lord forgive me, and get me to my daily bread
And get me home without these suckas tryna leave me dead
At times I dream about the sun out in Cali
The views in New Orleans, the parties in Miami
The views in NY, they got a high
But I gotta show love to the Land where i reside cuz
Cleveland is where I lay
Yeah thats where I lay my head at
Cleveland Is where I stay
Talkin down on the land you can dead that
Cleveland is where I lay
Or this is where you get left at
Cleveland Is where I stay
And you can bet that
From New York City
All the way down to L.A
I love it all
But Cleveland's where I stay
Cleveland is where I lay
Yeah thats where i lay my head at
Cleveland Is where I stay
Talkin down on the land you can dead that
Cleveland is where I lay
Or this is where you get left at
Cleveland Is where I stay
And you can bet that
