South 2nd Lyrics - Singles - Cocorosie

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight 

we don't need no baseball bats 

we don't need no silver ghats 

but we're gonna fight tonight 

put up your dukes and fight 

big brother's just standing on the side 

watching you flex your pride 

but you know if they all jump in 

big brother's got your skin 

the ice cream truck sings no more 

all the kids from school are keeping score 

you swing and you duck and you hit the floor 

but you gotta get up at least once more 

mama comes screaming down the stairs 

everybody looks nobody scares 

mama can't believe that nobody cares 

it's her baby boy how do they dare 

mama says bitch come over here 

if you're so tough you'll have no fear 

but why'd you bring your friends 

and the whole damn school 

to watch my baby boy go down like a fool 

but brother says mama they're the same damn size 

got to let him grow up and get street wise 

but mama says baby go get that bat 

and come back down and beat some ass 

somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight 

one wrong move and it'll be too late 

mama won't be making no birthday cake 

it all went down one afternoon 

in brooklyn
