Lyrics
Hey your part of it
Addressing someone, emphasizing their involvement or connection.
Yeah your part of it
Reiteration of involvement or connection.
Hey your part of it
Another address to emphasize being a part of something.
Yeah your part of it
Restating the connection or participation in a situation or context.
I walk the streets of a Carolina
Describing walking through the streets of Carolina, observing daily life.
Watching people pushing shopping carts
Witnessing people pushing shopping carts, possibly symbolizing struggle or hardship.
And there's a guy above me
A person seen above, engaged in washing windows, likely for a meager income.
And he's washing windows
Noting the person's job of washing windows for a payment of ten dollars each.
Making ten bucks a pop
Quoting the window washer initiating a conversation.
And he says to me
Reiteration of the conversation, highlighting participation.
Hey your part of it
Re-addressing involvement or connection, emphasizing its significance.
Yeah your part of it
Reiteration of being part of something, reinforcing the message.
Hey your part of it
Another reminder of participation or involvement.
Yeah your part of it
Restating the notion of being part of a situation or circumstance.
And I said sir, well have you heard
Speaking to the person about the inequality present in the country.
That this country is un-equal still?
Highlighting the ongoing inequality in the nation's history.
History continues itself
Emphasizing the continuity of historical patterns of inequality.
Continues itself
Repetition to underscore the persistence of historical patterns.
History continues itself
Reiterating the continuity of historical trends.
And I did not create the rules
Expressing non-involvement in creating the societal rules that perpetuate inequality.
From all I've heard
Asserting information gathered from knowledge and experiences.
And all I've seen
Stating that based on observations and information, this place has shattered the speaker's belief in the American ideal.
This place has broken
Reiterating the emotional impact of the surroundings on the speaker's patriotic feelings.
My American heart
Reaffirming the sentiment that this environment has profoundly affected the speaker's patriotism.
From all I've heard
Restating the impact of what has been heard and seen on the speaker's perception of America.
And all I've seen
Reiterating the influence of experiences and observations on the speaker's patriotism.
This place has broken
Reaffirming the emotional impact of the environment on the speaker's sense of patriotism.
My American heart
Reiterating the sentiment that the place has deeply affected the speaker's patriotic feelings.
Hey your part of it
Addressing someone, emphasizing their involvement or connection once again.
Yeah your part of it
Reiteration of being part of something, reinforcing the message.
Hey your part of it
Another reminder of participation or involvement.
Yeah your part of it
Restating the notion of being part of a situation or circumstance.
