Here’s a custom rap you can use to rep 843 and Big Charleston — proud and bold:
⸻
🎤 “I’m So 843” – by Shanara Mack
(Charleston Anthem)
(Hook)
I’m so 843, yeah you know where I be,
From the Chucktown streets to the edge of the sea.
Big Charleston step when I walk in the place,
Lowcountry queen, got that pride on my face.
(Verse 1)
From the Battery to Summerville, I rep it so loud,
Goose Creek to North Chuck, I stand tall and proud.
Ain’t no city like mine, yeah the roots run deep,
Where the food hit different and the soul don’t sleep.
Sweet tea in my hand, shrimp ‘n’ grits in the pot,
Muscadine on my lips, yeah the block stay hot.
From the Gullah to the Geechee, we talk that slang,
843 tatted in the heart, let it bang!
(Hook)
I’m so 843, yeah you know where I be,
From the Chucktown streets to the edge of the sea.
Big Charleston step when I walk in the place,
Lowcountry queen, got that pride on my face.
(Verse 2)
Fort Sumter to Folly, beach vibes and breeze,
Downtown drip, got ’em fallin’ to their knees.
Ravenel Bridge, I rise above the hate,
Stay true to my roots, never move outta state.
Got the Holy City steppin’, churches on every block,
History in the bricks, culture never gon’ stop.
843 born, ain’t no fakin’ my name,
If you ain’t from the Chuck, you can’t play in this game.
(Hook – Repeat)
I’m so 843, yeah you know where I be,
From the Chucktown streets to the edge of the sea.
Big Charleston step when I walk in the place,
Lowcountry queen, got that pride on my face.
