lirik lagu skyblew - save the neighborhood
verse 1:
driftin’ on memories of once was
all i got is a faded image, i’m watchin’ diminish
‘cause they tearin’ it down leaving only shards
me and my cousins used to catch light-bugs in jars at the park
where my first love told me that she “like me”-liked me
but through these shattered reflections, it’s highly likely
that it’ll disappear in time like our youth did
demolition worker said, ‘i’ma tell you the truth, kid, we gon’ tear it down, every building, every landmark, replace ‘em with walmart, malls, places where they can park, and all the trees you carved your names into are gonna be used to make pencils’
i led many b-ball games at the court where they currently diggin’
family reunion was here, man my uncle was jiggin’
we was livin’, but now our youth is dyin’
might as well release a dove, they murdered a piece of my love
chorus:
(they’re tearing down the street, where i grew up)
(they’re tearing down the street, where i grew up)
(they’re paving concrete, on a part of me)
(no trial for k!lling off a memory)
verse 2:
they call it urban renewal, stealin’ all of our jewels
the precious memories i made are laying in pools
of ash and rubble, now you askin’ for trouble
‘cause that’s my childhood, ain’t no way i’m gonna be subtle
we gotta take a stand and protect what they neglect
the street i’m standing on is where my granny taught me respect
and you expect to bulldoze, the place that raised me
the home where my mom and dad romantically made me
you crazy, i done fell in and out of love here
formed brotherhoods from another hood and that was here
paving roads on the souls of our innocence
the place where it started at, you tearin’ down our genesis
where we played genesis, picked berries in the field
scars still remain just to show you that it’s very real
you can’t k!ll what you didn’t help create
this is spiritual so go and tell ‘em they made a mistake
chorus:
(they’re tearing down the street, where i grew up)
(they’re tearing down the street, where i grew up)
(they’re paving concrete, on a part of me)
(no trial for k!lling off a memory)
now everybody, all together—
“save the neighborhood”
[?] the police whatever
“save the neighborhood”
this is ours, you can’t take it
“save the neighborhood”
it’s home, we never forsake it
“save the neighborhood”
everybody, all together—
“save the neighborhood”
[?] the police whatever
“save the neighborhood”
this is ours, you can’t take it
“save the neighborhood”
it’s home, we never forsake it
“save the neighborhood”
