Hanging On The Corner Lyrics - Blood For Blood

This is a song for my hometown, 

Charlestown 

Oh my sweet, sweet Jesus Christ 

Another Saturday night 

And I'm hangin once again 

on my private little corner of hell 

Little Mikey C. Just O.D'd 

In the alley just a block away 

Him and my little brother used to play 

I watched the ambulance take him away 

His mom's gonna take it hard 

cause his dad just got locked away 

for 3 ta 5 

For a deal he felt he had to make 

for his family to survive 

I know the world can be so cold 

I know the world is so cold 

(I been) Hangin' on the corner 

Hey hey hey ! 

I got nothing to do 

And I got nothing to lose 

Hangin, hangin' on the corner 

Wasting away. 

Another wasted night 

Another bottle of booze, Alright! 

And I know that no one cares: 

I can see it in your empty stares 

when I tell you these tales of woe 

I tell you these tales of woe 

because we really care. 

I know the world can be so cold 

I know the world is so cold 

Hangin' on the corner 

Hey hey hey ! 

I got nothing to do 

And I got nothing to lose 

Hangin, hangin' on the corner 

Wasting away. 

Another wasted night 

Another bottle of booze, Alright! 

Down past Hayes Square 

is where the wealthy dine 

where they laugh and drink fine wine 

Well, two blocks over 

is where the Sergeant died 

in a hall of fire ( here we go ! ) 

on a warm summer's night 

All you forgotten in the projects 

I hear Ya'. 

All you numbers in the cell block: 

We care. 

All you sweatin' in the detox: 

We care. 

To all you hoods that are dodgin' cops: 

We care. 

And to all you bleeding 

from a broken heart 

You know you've got a brother here. 

Hangin' on the corner 

Hey hey hey ! 

I got nothing to do 

And I got nothing to lose 

Hangin, hangin' on the corner 

Wasting away. 

Another wasted night 

Another bottle of booze, Alright! 

Hangin' in the corner. 

Hey hey hey ! 

I got nothing to lose and I got nothing 

ro prove to you. 

Hangin', hangin on the corner, wasting away. 

I pray my luck will change one day. 

Some day.
