We know the world can be cold
just stay number 1 in love with your soul

I had 11 on my mind, it was time to reflect

Blastin GO-GO, Chuck Brown in the deck,
Junkyard in the deck, EU in the deck
Reminiscin’ on classics with all due respect
Speakin’ of legends I decided to head over to Landover
SE DC, home of the Cannons
Where Black folk build excellence on ice
I said 11, the Caps list is nice!! It goes:

Mike Marson in ‘74,
’77 Bill Riley, the year i was born
Rocked the whole DMV when Reggie Savage got goin’
Let’s meet on F Street and sing the song…

We know the world can be cold
just stay number 1 in love with your soul

Washington Capitals got that smoke
Gotta stop at Ben’s and get a half-smoked
All 4 quarters (corners) let’s meet in the middle and
Ask Neal Henderson to fill the Stanley Cup
He said: “Remember Anson Carter?
”
I said: “Yes, alum at my high school sir.”
Then came Mike Grier, and Jason Doig,
Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, can’t duck the boy

and Donald Brashear he’d break ya toys

Joel Ward is my momma-friend-nephew so we boys

Madison Bowey indeed, the rings with

Devante Smith-Pelly, the whole DMV shoutin’ DSP!

We know the world can be cold
just stay number 1 in love with your soul
