Mambo Sauce is a go-go band based, of course, out of Washington D.C. They get their name from the delicious mambo/mumbo sauce found at Chinese carry-outs. This song got a lot of play back in 2007 on WPGC and even made its way onto the hip-hop Billboard charts, which is pretty rare for go-go.
Disclaimer: If you're not from the DMV or just don't like go-go, that's fine, but don't hate. Just move along..
Lyrics:
Welcome to dc!
Chorus-
You know where you’re at,
The USA Cap
You’re taking this lightly
Stop taking this lightly
Now how you gone act
Oh you gone be right back
Well we gone be right here
We gone be right here
You know where you’re at,
The USA Cap
You’re taking this lightly
Stop taking this lightly
Now how you gone act
Oh you gone be right back
Well we gone be right here
We gone be right here
We aint going Nowhere
Welcome to Dc
(verse 1)
Dc, the home of chuck brown
Oh you don’t know the sound?
Well let me break it down
The G-O the G-O
The M-A-M-B-O
See though,
Went been pumping crank since an embryo,
Really though.
It’s the city where the people hold the power,
And you can see 9 dimes every half an hour,
Where lunchin and Jo is the Lingo,
And brothas rob, so aint nobody
Rockin Mink Coats.
Take ya back to the madness hats or how,
The city renamed cigarettes jacks or how,
Even the mayor had a run in with Crack,
But we all kept it real and we voted him back.
But, we got no stars that Spit on bars,
Like BET wasn’t birthed in our backyard
So are N-E-G our Essence and our Backyard
And Junkyard got us all goin hard.
(chorus)
(verse 2)
I’m from the city the district,
I own up to it.
But right now I gotta real big bone to pick.
When this industry gone let us get some ownership?
We gotta take it huh?
Well we own it then.
This aint a hit and run,
No were not an accident.
More like a hit and hold
Sorta like we tacklin.
And we crank so hard cause we be praticin
And this I just the beginning slim,
We just scrimmaging, So
Lace up ya Nike boots and pass with the timberlands’.
Where them brothers off the boat like they Gilligan,
What a condition that we livin in
Got us Fightin over land that aint ours like Cowboys and Indians
So football, yup
Cowboys and Indians
And politics, yup
Cowboys and idiots.
But much love to VA and MD
That’s why the new DC is the DMV.
(Chorus)
(verse 3)
Truth is this, this here is proof Thiers
Room to take it up a few gears, give us a few years
Let us test some ears
We’ll be a brand new best of theirs,
Scoring a hundred on ya questionnaires
Cause if the question is, “is we the truth?”
Then check the Yea
Cause if you check the No,
Somebody better check the air
But check the water cause there’s something in it
We can’t afford to be bush there’s only one in the district
We aint goin nowhere
We aint goin nowhere
We gone be right here
We aint goin nowhere
We gone be right here
We aint goin nowhere
Welcome to Dc
