Me and all the from the neighbourhood We'd out in the street all summer long Rule was we had to go home at When the street came on
We were to the rest of the world And we'd hold up the in the street Yeah, we'd always boys against girls And both sides cheat
men would stop their cars at the curb Say, "Hey come here" And I'd go up to the And they'd have their out in their hands With a sick little
I'd say,"Here we go again! Yeah, ok this you win" And I would feel dirty, I'd ashamed But I wouldn't let it my game
We would play and go seek' Territory be the whole block Sometimes the older boys when they'd you They want to tag you, they'd just want to talk
They'd say "What would you do for a on, we don't have that much time" And I'd a minute and I'd say "Ok, me the quarter first, fine"
This you win we go again! And I would feel dirty and I would ashamed But I let it stop my game
I remember my first trip alone on the bus A man who put his on me as soon as night fell And I when I was leavin' how excited I was And I remember I arrived, I didn't feel so well
I the teacher at school got me so sick and scared I went into the bathroom and up in my hair And I could go on, but you know, it just gets And I probably stop there
