Bogotá, Distrito Capital (Spanish pronunciation: [boɣoˈta] ( listen)), from 1991 to 2000 called Santafé de Bogotá, is the capital, and largest city, of Colombia. It is also designated by the national constitution as the capital of the department of Cundinamarca, even though the city of Bogotá now comprises an independent Capital district and no longer belongs administratively to that department. Bogotá is the most populous city in the country, with 7.363.782 inhabitants as of 2010. Bogotá and its metropolitan area, which includes municipalities such as Chía, Cota, Soacha, Cajicá and La Calera, had a population of 7,881,156 in 2005.
In terms of land area, Bogotá is the largest city in Colombia, and one of the biggest of Latin America. It figures amongst the thirty largest cities of the world and it is the third-highest capital city in South America (after La Paz and Quito) at 2,625 metres (8,612 ft) above sea level. With its many universities and libraries, Bogotá has become known as "The Athens of South America". Bogotá owns the largest moorland of the world, which is located in the Sumapaz Locality. The city ranked 54th in the 2010 Global Cities Index and is listed as global city of the Beta+ kind by the GaWC.
Aurelijus Rutenis Antanas Mockus Šivickas (born 25 March 1952) is a Colombian mathematician, philosopher, and politician.
The son of Lithuanian immigrants, he left his post as the president of the National University of Colombia in Bogotá in 1993, and later that year ran a successful campaign for mayor. He proceeded to preside over Bogotá as mayor for two (non-consecutive) terms, during which he became known for springing surprising and humorous initiatives upon the city's inhabitants. These tended to involve grand gestures, including local artists or personal appearances by the mayor himself—taking a shower in a commercial about conserving water, or walking the streets dressed in spandex and a cape as Supercitizen. On March 4, 2010, he was elected in a public consultation as the Colombian Green Party candidate for the presidential election in 2010.
On April 4, 2010, Antanas Mockus chose Sergio Fajardo, former mayor of Medellín, as his vice-presidential running mate. On April 9, 2010 he announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He told La W radio: "The prediction is that this will not affect my mental activities. I think it is absolutely fitting to tell the people about the diagnosis and about the prognosis—which is 12 years or more of normal life thanks to medication." Mockus finished second in the polling, leading to a runoff election with Juan Manuel Santos, which Santos won. Mockus resigned from the Green Party in June 2011 because he opposed its Bogotá mayoral candidate being supported by former right-wing President Álvaro Uribe.

[Chorus]
Bogota talk, Bogota walk
It's a Bogota blizzard on my Bogota block
Bogota white rims with a Bogota bitch
White Bogota diamonds I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
I'm Bogota rich
[Verse 1]
This Bogota slingin', blingin' like diamond ring
I cut the tape and do my thing
Gim'me the paper, keep the fame
I'm off the leash, you keep the cage
I ain't playin' keep the games
I'm the beast they couldn't tame
The one the witness couldn't name
I'm the bird they couldn't blame
Smokin' citrus in my chain
Choppin' Christmas with my blade
While my bitches entertain
I got vicious in my veins
I got hate all in my heart
I got revenge all in my brain
Now you just heard a killa start
Snatch a bitch and pull her brain
Smack her ass and roll away
I just give that bitch a look ain't gotta tell that hoe behave
When she actin' like a dog
I'mma treat her like a stray
Rent her mouth for an hour
But I keep it for a day. EH!
[Chorus]
Bogota talk, Bogota walk
It's a Bogota blizzard on my Bogota block
Bogota white rims with a Bogota bitch
White Bogota diamonds I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
I'm Bogota rich
[Verse 2]
I got the gun they call the Escabar
Yams in the restaurant
Beef on the fork got burnt, cooked extra-hot
Carry city Columbia
Put a hundred in one in ya
Sticks on the carpet, crib lookin' like Columbi-yard
White Pablo cocaine
Wait out in Spokane
Fuck I look like, listening to these poor lames
I drive some shit that'll take up like four lanes
This MMG piece, gotta lift this with four cranes
I grip on my old grain
And toke on this dope green
My bitches is supreme, and this ain't no new thing
This pits ain't gone curb, but you pussies gone purr
Hold up
That ain't that clean and this package burnt
Hold up
[Chorus]
Bogota talk, Bogota walk
It's a Bogota blizzard on my Bogota block
Bogota white rims with a Bogota bitch
White Bogota diamonds I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
I'm Bogota rich
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
B O G O T A, B O G O T A
