Thessaloniki State of Mind @ Thessaloniki 2011 (Parody)

Parody of New York State of Mind, to commemorate NUin Greece’s time spent in Thessaloniki, Greece. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to start off my college career, to all of the kids who lived in the Metro, I wrote this for you guys. Glad you liked it =)

Lyrics:

SHOUTOUT TO AC, ANNA CHALLANGER!

[Verse 1:]

I gotta get out the Metro, Downtown at Tribeca
Right next to the boardwalk, and I’ll speak Greek forever
I’m an NUin Kid, and… since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere
You can find me Downtown, with all of my Nigerians
right there up on Tsimiski, leavin makes me tearyan,
We got Lithuanians, we got Ukranians
Catch ‘em all up at MO with them Albanians
Trying to cross the street, almost killed by a Lexus
The Bus system so slow, Yo! Courtney is from Texas
Apo tnv Ameriki, there we love democracy
Menw stnv Thessaloniki, were kicking out hipocracy
Say what’s up to Sakis, 8am suvlakis
Grillo outside, Matt and Adrian give me high fives
Malaka I be chilled out, nothin ever done on time
Tell by my attitude that Apo tnv…

[Chorus:]

Thessaloniki, white tower is what dreams are made of
Always something to do
In Thessaloniki
These streets are covered in Booze
A C T inspires you
Let’s hear it for Panos, Panos,
Panos

[Verse 2:]

Catch me at Toumba with my girls at a Paok game
Sittin at gate four no two brawls are the same
You know how them Greeks do, gyros and a mythos dude
Leather jacket, feta cheese, hair gel, and a motorbike
Welcome to the real world, what real college should be like
Man we rock this shit, Party all night everynight
Better watch that meter if you cab home, am I right?
When we head home, gon be hard not to brag, got
A million stories, locked up, in the bag?
Service hours a pity, half y’all couldn’t make it
Halloween was the shit, Max your costume was legit
ARES’s plays PAOK, you best be in the crowd
Screaming loud, this is Greece get proud
Couldn’t say I liked the strikes
Its aight, felt great at the peak
On the Olympus hike yo, Apo tnv Ellada, menw stnv Thessaloniki

[Chorus:]

Thessaloniki, the white tower is what dreams are made of
always something to do
In Thessaloniki
These streets are covered in Puke
Snowflake lights will inspire you
Let’s hear it for gyros, gyros,
Gyrossssss

[Verse 3:]

Gotta get to my email, increased my heart rate
so I can see whats up on the weekly update
in case you didn’t know Jaber is from kuwait
maids never ever ever ever let us sleep late
talking to Delia always ends in debate
seems like yesterday we took a bus straight
to vergina, tomb of alexander the great
Toga party, club ocho floor eight
floor 5 floor 3 bro seshs, stayin up late
Pumping tunes, great beach days chillin in the dunes
Being on the boardwalk for the full moons
gyro trips, def favorite afternoons
You’d be a fool not to go back to istanbool
My name is Vinny, and I hope you see
that I wrote this rap for we, the kids of nuin Gree
ce, living by the sea, Apo T

[Chorus:]

Thessaloniki, the white tower is what dreams are made of
always something to do
In Thessaloniki
I’ll miss these streets and people too
I S As an ASDs thank you
Let’s hear it for Chris, Chris
