Hurricane Katrina couldn’t wash away our culture.
She couldn’t wash away our spirit, couldn’t wash away our pride.
She couldn’t wash away our music or how we like to party.
She could never kill New Orleans, no matter how hard she tried.
She blew into New Orleans in late August, ‘05.
She smashed into our levees like a fast pitch line drive.
Thousands of our people weren’t ready for her anger.
She’ll go down in our history as a mean Category 5.
