This is My Neighborhood

Sirens blasting on a cold Chicago morn
Waking Willy in his cardboard home
Marvin Gaye playing on the radio
Asking what’s going on, tell me what’s going on
This is my neighborhood, This is my neighborhood
Bungalows and needles on the street
Hanging out at the local corner beat
Leroy skitching on the icy street
This is my neighborhood, this is my neighborhood
This is my neighborhood, this is my neighborhood
Mama waiting on the old front porch
Street light making shadows in the night
Hoping sonny makes it home alright
Maybe she'll move one day
But this is her neighborhood, This is my neighborhood, This is our neighborhood,
This is our neighborhood, This is our neighborhood
