Kolgate - It Takes A Village lyrics

rate me

~VERSE 1~

Summertime way back in the day, I would sit and contemplate the life

that I would make, and make no mistake rapping wasn't on my plate

but who would think in 08 I'd be the hottest in my state! I was young,

and I just wanted to skate! Playstation all night, shit, stayin out late.

Rollin around the local spots with Ceasla and Nate, talkin on the phone,

till it stuck to my face! Late August, man that shit was the best, walking

around, showin love, man I loved Fleet fest! It's a shame that it wont never

happen again, the pool parties at Bens and joking around with my friends.

It had to come to an end, but just to do it again, I would sacrafice alot to

go for one more spin, around the city, around the past that made me who

I am down Fleet Ave one more time with some Pierogis in my hand!

(Laughing)

~VERSE 2~

Don't get it twisted it wasn't always THE AVE, it wasn't always this bad, it's

never had the problems it's had. It's never mad me so mad to see my

neighbors get mad, over kids in the street acting angry and bad. Rollin

around, late night - looking at street lights, remembering those fights,

and man it feels alright. It takes me to another place, it makes me so much

higher. Class of 05 baby, best believe ya boys a flyer! South High, and man

I aint gonna lie, I walked through those doors, just wishing to die. The only

white guy, in a class of my peers. Everyday with the jokes, the name calls, and

the jeers. Just because I wore black and I did my hair in spikes I was "satanic",

often labeled, picked on cause I was white. But I got by, you know these kids

can be cruel. After all the shit it threw, I still got love for that school.

(08 Baby, 05 Baby, Flyers... Hate Me Now!)

(VOCAL BREAK)

Okay let me change the tone... this my home..

Okay let me change the tone... this my home..

Okay let me change the tone... My Home.

My Home... Let me change the tone.. 216.

~VERSE 3~

Okay let me change the tone, after school everyday I never ever went home.

Yep, thats me down on H.V.D. I thought I found love but it wasn't destined to be.

And 4 years later its still a part of me. So thank you, and I'm sorry- but you helped

mold me. I won't name drop, but you know who you are. I'm just writing down my history

and it's got me this far. To all of you! All the friends from my past, all the good times we had

and even the bad. I was lucky to have, all of you in my life, but my story goes on though

ours may of faded into night. I got a new top 8 then I did back then. I got a new support

group, and I call them my friends, I got a new found love, and a shoulder if I need it,

and I owe all that I am to growing up in Cleveland.-216!

(Thank you.. from The bottom of my heart... Cause I'm everything YOU are.)
