Emerald Street Lyrics - Jamila Woods

I be in my nightgown, chicken wings ready 

If you bring the mild sauce, we can go steady 

You can have the coleslaw, we can share the one straw 

Sit outside on my block 

O-on Emerald Street where we used to meet, yeah 

On my ma's porch seat hoping she won't see, yeah 

It's a wonderful day in the hood 

Would you be mine, could you be mine 

Won't you be my neighbour, won't you be, won't you be 

(Would you be mine, could you be mine) 

Won't you be my neighbour, won't you be, won't you be 

(Would you be mine, could you be mine) 

Won't you be my... 

Not a lot of places we can go to be together 

'Coz you know the city, how'd it get so cold 

Write a message in a bottle tell your neighbour tell your God and somebody should remember them

You got my house phone jumping 

Play ball in the alley it's jumping 

Treat the corner store likes it's a luncheon 

I heard your best friend like-like my cousin 

Old lady say to stay out her grass 

Talk back then I got put on punishment 

Couldn't go outside for a meal 

Even try to run away like I'm Tubman 

I know you like my bike it's a Huffy 

With the pen we be stuntin' 

Someone stole it I call shorty 

He say he seen someone on it 

Got it back the same night 

I hope this day never end 

Then I tell you how I like you, you say that we were just friends 

Damn
