Summer in Philly

Children in the street
Fireplug a blast
Here comes the police
"Turn it of fast."

Janet’s on the radio singing here song
Mom says cut it down
Cause it’s too much hip-hop going on.

Brother on the corner
Talking some crap
Sister turns around and says
"You ain’t talking to me like that."

Kids at summer camp
Having some fun
Others in summer school
Wasting all their precious little time.

Block party pumping
Till quarter to 10
Better get in the house
Before my dad starts tripping.

Water ice man coming down the block
Better get you money out
If you want him to stop.

Lemonade, Ice-cream
Having a fun treat
Cost a $1.50
For something cool to eat!

Teens at the Gallery
Buying some clothes
People outside
Wishing they could by those.

Moms in the kitchen
Talking to her friends
Dads in the living room
Working on his summer plans.

Some people would rather be in
Asia, Paris, or maybe even Rome
But I want to stay
In a place that I call home.
