"Represent Me" lyrics

Yeah yay, ooh

I'd like to introduce myself: my name is Ciara
I'd like to introduce myself: my name is Ciara

I'm giving props to the people that help me out
And right now I'ma take the time to shout out Riverdale, North Hayden, and all of my haters
I finally made it and I won't stop
It feels funny to hear the world say my name
I'm making money, I'm still the same, and I won't change
And if you down with me, stick around with me, 'cause I'ma hold you down and that's no doubt
And I want

I want my hood to represent me (that's right)
I want you to represent me (uh huh)
To all my girls, represent me (yeah yay)
Around the world, to represent me
I want love to represent me (Represent me)
I want us to represent me
To all my girls represent me (ooh yeah)
Around the world to represent me

It's all love when we're hanging out on my team
I'm here for ya
I'll help you out (Bigger dream)
If you gotta struggle, then we gotta struggle
Let's love another and keep the peace
And to my family
I know that ya'll, got my back
'Cause when I need you, you'll be there just like that
And I'll be down for you, because you're down for me
And I'ma hold you down and that's no doubt (yeah yeah)

I want my hood to represent me (represent me)
I want you to represent me (to represent me)
To all my girls, represent me (uh huh)
Around the world, to represent me (uh huh)
I want love to represent me (Dirty South)
I want us to represent me (Uptown)
To all my girls represent me (West Coast)
Around the world to represent me (for sure)

I want New York, and Miami, and all of Atlanta, hometown to represent me (that's right)
Cali, Alabama, and all of Ohio, Chi-Town to represent me
To all of the girls and the fellas that got my back
Much love and I promise I'll give it back
All good when you try, there's no other like it, you should (you should) represent me
(Alright)

I want my hood to represent me (yes I do)
I want you to represent me (I want you)
To all my girls, represent me (That's right)
Around the world, to represent me (alright)
I want love to represent me (Yeah yay)
I want us to represent me (ooh ooh)
To all my girls represent me (uh huh)
Around the world to represent me (everybody say)

It's all good when you rep yo' hood (yeah)
It's all good when you rep yo' hood (yeah, yo' hood)

I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Ciara (Ciara, Ciara, Ciara)
