what happened to baltimore?
used to be these streets were free
now I’m paying every which way
slept in cars and drove so far
in circles around this town
just to find a simpler time
when friends and family weren’t a mystery
when it was all so clearly defined
when it was yours
when it was mine
remember when baltimore was still alive?
long enough to not feel loved
close enough to forget her touch
but there’s still a voice in this head
and I want to turn this clock back
keep the age but change the times
keep the cash but change the shifts
keep the mind but change the soul
remember when we knew where to go?
these streets are a mess these weeks
lost in thought on cracked sidewalks
too many tired or strained thoughts and talks
let’s all
forget the shit that’s been said
forget the drinks we could have
throw those toxins to the wind
let’s be
something old
go back to the days
when all we needed was a reason
to walk out the front door
and we’d walk out the front door
we don’t do that anymore
