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
