Intro
(Distorted siren sound) Yo, let's go. A-T-L-A-S, The Union, you know the name. Fifty kings and queens in the same damn kingdom. This ain't a debate, it's a declaration. Let's run it. (Beat drops)
Verse 1
Alabama, you the First to fly, the Roll Tide legend, Alaska, the Last Frontier, ain’t no question, no second guessin’. Arizona's sun burns bright, Grand Canyon's deep, Arkansas, Natural State, secrets that you keep. California dreamin', that's a whole new motion, Colorado peaks high, sky's the only ocean. Connecticut's rich history, the Constitution State, Delaware, First State, you opened up the gate. Florida's got that heat, the party never ends, Georgia's peaches so sweet, where the culture bends. Hawaii's paradise, a flow that's truly blessed, Idaho, Gem State, standin' out from all the rest.
Chorus
Fifty crowns, fifty kings, fifty states, no doubt, United we stand, what's the truth about? From the West Coast rush to the East Coast grind, Best nation on Earth, can't leave a single one behind. This is America, yeah, we run this game, Every single state, shoutin' out its name.
Verse 2
Illinois, the Land of Lincoln, got that city soul, Indiana's crossroads, yeah, you make us whole. Iowa's cornfields, the heart of all that grows, Kansas, the Wheat State, follow where the wind blows. Kentucky's thoroughbreds, a legacy of speed, Louisiana's bayou beats, planting a new seed. Maine's cold spirit, solid as the rock, Maryland, Old Line State, never watchin' the clock. Massachusetts got the history, yeah, the whole damn truth, Michigan's got the lakes, the fountain of our youth. Minnesota, North Star shine, the spirit never dim, Mississippi, Magnolia State, standin' on a whim.
Chorus
Fifty crowns, fifty kings, fifty states, no doubt, United we stand, what's the truth about? From the West Coast rush to the East Coast grind, Best nation on Earth, can't leave a single one behind. This is America, yeah, we run this game, Every single state, shoutin' out its name.
Bridge 1
Missouri, Show-Me State, you gotta see to believe, Montana's Big Sky, forever you'll receive. Nebraska, Cornhusker strength, built from the ground up, Nevada's city lights, spillin' from a cup. New Hampshire's granite spirit, free and wild, New Jersey, Garden State, you never been defiled. New Mexico, Land of Enchantment, a vibe you can't contain, New York, the Empire State, ruling in the rain.
Verse 3
North Carolina, Tar Heel pride, you lay it on the line, North Dakota, Peace Garden State, what a perfect sign. Ohio's got that heartland soul, yeah, they know the way, Oklahoma's got that wind, blowing in today. Oregon's got the forests, where the legends rise, Pennsylvania, Keystone State, truth behind the lies. Rhode Island, Ocean State, smallest with the might, South Carolina, Palmetto, shining in the light. South Dakota, Rushmore heads, carved into the stone, Tennessee, Volunteer, you're never left alone. Texas, the Lone Star, a king all on its own, Utah, Beehive hustle, the greatest ever known.
Chorus
Fifty crowns, fifty kings, fifty states, no doubt, United we stand, what's the truth about? From the West Coast rush to the East Coast grind, Best nation on Earth, can't leave a single one behind. This is America, yeah, we run this game, Every single state, shoutin' out its name.
Bridge 2
Vermont, Green Mountain power, from the highest peak, Virginia, Old Dominion, a legacy we seek. Washington, Evergreen soul, a brand new kind of rain, West Virginia, Mountain Mama, washin' off the pain. Wisconsin's dairy kings, the cheese is fresh and strong, Wyoming, Equality State, where nothing can go wrong. Yeah, all fifty strong.
