You race yo car against my car, leave yo ass so far you'll doze off
And when I take off its like I took off

It's dat lil chico Pitbull
I just like to welcome y'all to where I been
Born, where I been raised, the county of Dade
Ya know we got them boyz that pass by in them ol skool chevys wit the top down
Bass stay bumpin, make the trunk rattle, rearview shake
Then they look at you with that bold smile and let you know what it is, and what it ain't

[Verse 2: Pitbull]
I been born & raised in the county of Dade, land of the haze, the cocaine capital
We ain't just hitting you buddy, we Warren Sapp'n you
We coming hard like them Cubans in the 80's dogg
Go ahead throw in the pot I bet its raw
Pero ten cuidado con un tumbe porque se lo llevan todo
Llamar el babalao pregunta le por un depojo
Pero final de todo tu no puede con los lobos
Everything that I do do, everything that I say say
Everywhere that I go I let 'em know "Hey' I'm from the county of Dade"
Ol school chevy heaven, ol school niggas preachin
Young niggas wylin, getting rich off keys and violence
Trick - he's the mayor, Luke - he's the king
I'm Mr. 305 put that on a triple beam
I bet it weigh out more than a boatload of keys
Holla at them Haitians, let 'em know this lick's on me, welcome to Dade
