Journey Through Suburban Echoes: 0495 by Jordan Ward
Lyrics
We 'bout 30 minutes north of our city block
We're approximately 30 minutes north of our city block
My godmom had two, my mom had one
My godmother had two children, my mom had one
I was her only one
I was her only child
Ma Pearl had two, we were all best friends
Ma Pearl had two children; we were all best friends
We would fight downstairs, it was cold down there
We would have arguments downstairs; it was cold in that space
They just moved out there, it was more of us out there
They recently moved there, and there were more of us in that area
Shit might go down, but it's still countryside
There might be conflicts, but it's still the countryside
A lil' more peace and quiet (yeah, yeah)
There's a bit more peace and quiet (yeah, yeah)
Couple folks scared we'll bring the violence
Some people are afraid we'll bring violence
But really our folks just wanted to try again
But in reality, our community just wanted to start anew
Boy, if you don't get your lil' ugly ass home
Hey, if you don't go home, you little ugly person
Stop playin', you lil' dumbass, bro
Stop playing, you little foolish brother
You lil' dumbass, boy
You foolish little boy
Dirty ass, boy
Unclean person, boy
Amethyst, came from the amethyst
Refers to amethyst, likely a symbol of something precious
This SM7 shit, purple just like my lips, oh
Describing an SM7 (microphone) as purple, resembling the lips
This a sole occasion, it was carved into stone
This is a unique event, significant and carved into memory
Had to wake up, wake up, it's the first of the month
Had to wake up on the first day of the month
Ooh, ninety-five, it was hella live
Refers to the year 1995, which was lively and vibrant
Had the Twin Towers (Twin Towers)
Recalling the presence of the Twin Towers during that time
Everythin' overly televised
Everything was excessively broadcasted on television
