These Streets

from Homework by Ashley Scrace

lyrics

Why don't you come on down to the street, my friend
See what is happening here
Daily troubles, hard work, and I recommend
You go and get your ass in gear

We've got a reputation to shake and define
And a darkness to overcome
And a man who is treading a real fine line
Between autocracy and fascism

These streets, will have
My heart
These streets, the end and start.

Living in the suburbs of a suburb of Sweden
To those whom live on their throne
We're defined by shooting, and football, and looting
Told it's unsafe in our homes.

Yeah, the problems bubble up every once in a while
I hate the gangs as much as you
But there's a lot of shit here to make us smile
And call out what is simply not true

These streets, will have
My heart
These streets, the end and start.

You've got to make the change you want in your neighbourhood
Solve all the problems there
We'll all stand together, stay strong through the weather
Against those who just don't care

Keep up the working, keep up the playing
Go on and pray if you must
For there ain't an idea that can hold enough water
That can turn an idea to dust

These streets, will have
My heart
These streets, the end and start.
