Lyrics
To all the years full of front porch stories
To appreciate the years filled with stories shared on the front porch.
Failed plans and procrastination
Reflecting on past experiences of failed plans and procrastination.
To r.a.g.n. sowing what others may implore
Acknowledging the rebellious spirit ("r.a.g.n.") planting seeds that others may disapprove.
I've been broke and forlorn and caught out with the best at acca yard
Expressing experiences of financial hardship and feeling abandoned, even among the best at a place called acca yard.
Oh it just goes to show, to desert friends like these streets
Realization that abandoning loyal friends is as absurd as deserting familiar streets.
I would be crazy
Acknowledging the irrationality of leaving loyal friends and familiar places.
To all the years full of backyard parties
Celebrating years filled with gatherings in backyards.
Winters in hibernation
Recalling times spent in hibernation during winter.
To assaulting views with dominion at our door
Reflecting on overcoming challenges with strength and authority.
Healing but scarred
Acknowledging personal growth, though marked by scars.
There's bullet holes in a porch in jackson ward
Noting the presence of bullet holes in a porch, perhaps symbolizing past struggles.
Oh it just goes to show, to desert friends like these streets
Reiterating the folly of abandoning loyal friends and familiar streets.
I would be crazy
Reaffirming the irrationality of such abandonment.
It goes to show, to dessert friends like these streets
Repeating the message that leaving loyal friends and familiar places is senseless.
I would be crazy
Emphasizing the irrationality of such a decision.
I sat back to consider what has been within a decade counted
Contemplating the experiences of the past decade.
Should I fly? should I settle?
Weighing the decision between taking flight or settling in life.
Will I find peace in time, in the face of growing old?
Pondering whether peace will be found as one faces the inevitability of growing old.
To all the years full of untold stories
Appreciating years filled with untold stories.
Futures free of isolation
Hoping for a future free from isolation.
To all those gone who in thought and heart live on
Tribute to those who are no longer present but continue to live on in thoughts and hearts.
On and on you never gave up and I got this far
Acknowledging the perseverance of others who never gave up, contributing to personal progress.
Oh it just goes to show, with friends like these to leave
Reiterating that leaving friends like these streets is nonsensical.
I would be crazy
Emphasizing the irrationality of abandoning loyal friends and familiar places.
It goes to show, with friends like these to leave
Repeating the message that leaving loyal friends and familiar places is senseless.
I would be crazy
Stressing the absurdity of such a decision.
