Junior Smalls And The Criminals - Washington And 13th lyrics

We came to be Against a backdrop of bricks and concrete Burned out buildings, shot out street lights And the gla** crushes beneath your feet And these faded walls Make me feel home Said these faded walls Make me feel home Cause I still get the chills At Washington and 13th Our youth trapped in these blocks Never again to be seen And I don't like to think of you lost in this sea Of icy cold eyes void of all sympathy I knew when I left there'd be things that I'd miss But I never expected it would feel like this It would feel like this We came to be Against a backdrop of mayhem and heartbeats Racing through backstreets, alleys and backyards But somehow always made safe retreat And these faded walls Make me feel home Said these faded walls Make me feel home Cause I still get the chills At Washington and 13th Our youth trapped in these blocks Never again to be seen And I don't like to think of you lost in this sea Of icy cold eyes void of all sympathy I knew when I left there'd be things that I'd miss But I never expected it would feel like this
