What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Like the dead end kids we used to play in the streets
2
Never worryin about grief football spelled relief
3
Ronnie ? was the coach for us
4
see he taught us to play almost every single day OK
5
Now on Evergreen was Larry and Mike and Lon
6
My cousin Boo lived there too just to name a few
7
with Sha rone he's bad to the bone Boo's little sidekick
8
And a badass mouth he used to feist it on Harmon Street
9
with Zach Leo and Ed
10
Me Jody and Boop by June, Rocky and then comes
11
Tommy and Cedric, Lamont and Greg, unique in our own right
12
At times we'd fight, but that's a-ight
13
Still, not realizin we had love, it showed
14
when we played, no phony charades against
15
one another, now while I write this song
16
It's like some are still alive and a couple are gone
17
* Chorus * (4X)
18
We're born to live, a life to die
19
Life's so damn short and I wonder why
20
As kids, you're overlookin death
21
It didn't seem important or serious, it just seems curious
22
It was about, wakin to a bowl of cereal
23
Cartoons on Saturday's, karate flicks, and like
24
ridin your skateboard, or bicycle
25
And went as deep as Killa Joe on the corner drinkin Ripple
26
Plus, Puerto Rican kids on the block were cool
27
We got along, we all knew right from wrong
28
By far, we got a dose that life was hard
29
A Spanish we were close with, was killed by a car
30
Shocking, Alberto was hit, on the block and
31
death was spontaneous, his moms was clockin him 'cross the street
32
He just received an award
33
for Little League baseball like an hour before, plus
34
He didn't even get to see the summer set in
35
Dyin all young at the age of seven
36
It opened up my eyes small that the flesh was weak
37
As a kid, thinkin shit like that was mad deep, peep it
38
* Chorus *
39
Now when somebody is gone, that's when you realize how close you was
40
how close you are.. like a star
41
Real deep it takes time to heal
42
And still from time to time you wish you could find the way to forgive
43
and let him know you forgave
44
But they can't feel six feet deep inside the grave
45
What's left, but attend his wake, believin if it was you
46
he'd do it for old time's sake, damn
47
I'm disturbed, by the news when I was told I was sittin
48
Knowin damn well Boo ain't bullshittin
49
My life flashed like big bills of cash
50
and good times we had, now it's all so sad
51
One of my childhood pals hit the road
52
When you take, to the streets, then you die, by the code
53
But in this case, who knows what went down?
54
Bottom line is wishin that he still was around
55
Now he found a spot in my heart, or should I say lobotomy
56
Mike, know you're trapped inside of me
57
And every other brother in Bushwick
58
Who rushed to your side thick, all down with the click
59
Yeah, God Bless he laid to rest
60
Call him Mike Boogie, that's what describes the nigga best
61
* Chorus *
62
We're born to live (4X)
63
Like that y'all
