Homeboys 歌词

In the summertime on the street where i grew up There were black guys and white boys and mexicans And we'd love to make a football game, lightpost-to-lightpost "here comes another car, get out of the way again" We'd never miss a day, and hardly missed a night Of talking about each other's sisters under the streetlight Didn't care about the world Didn't matter about nobody but the homeboys The tiny and the strong Everybody knew that they belonged with the homeboys I used to walk to high school every day with jerry g. We had sort of a connection i think He taught me how to write on the wall I taught him how to play chess Some kind of strange urban link We'd never missed a day of those twenty-minute talks Till a fifteen-year-old drive-by shooter took him off our block Hang your head and hide your eyes Watch a thousand cars go by with homeboys We learned of loss that day Everybody knew that things had changed for the homeboys Didn't care about the world Didn't matter about nobody but the homeboys The tiny and the strong Everybody knows that they belong with the homeboys
