Back in the Days in Philly

Yeah. This one's for the block. You know, Broad Street,

South Street, Germantown, and a lot of 'em. Back in the

days, back in the days. Back in the days in Philly,

life was raw and real. Pavement cracked, but the city gave us strength

to build. Dice games on the corner, sneakers hanging on wires.

Dreams bigger than the block, fueled by hunger and fire. We had the

corner stores, hoagies wrapped in that foil. Mama working double shifts,

sweating the blood for the toil. Old heads schooling young bucks on how to survive.
