Battery Street

The city lights, burned brighter than they ever were
Where I’m from, we night to keep the light on

The sound of the trains was the blood running through our veins
Fueling our hearts taking a run up and down the coast

The sea ways and steel
The kingdoms before the wheel
She still looks beautiful, but her dress costs more this time

It’s just not the same because our hearts are in the wrong place
There’s too many people sleeping under the bridge tonight

Don’t label me me with a number I’ll never see
You can’t put a price on a family name

Look mister please the only difference between you and me is I know who I am
I know where I’m from
I’ve got skin in the game

What do I know, my education tells you my roll
Don’t pass judgement as you pass by me tonight
But I was here long before, and I’ll be here when you try to talk my home
I’ll never beg
I’ll never plead for what is mine
When you look at the world, tell me what do you see
I see flesh I see blood, I see me

You’re telling me that it’s worth just as much to you
These docks, Delridge, that pidgin point view

Look mister please the only difference between you and me is I know who I am
I know where if from Columbia roll on
