Washington And 13th Lyrics - Best Laid Plans - Junior Smalls And The Criminals

We came to be 

Against a backdrop of bricks and concrete 

Burned out buildings, shot out street lights 

And the glass crushes beneath your feet 

And these faded walls 

Make me feel home 

Said these faded walls 

Make me feel home 

Cause I still get the chills 

At Washington and 13th 

Our youth trapped in these blocks 

Never again to be seen 

And I don't like to think of you lost in this sea 

Of icy cold eyes void of all sympathy 

I knew when I left there'd be things that I'd miss 

But I never expected it would feel like this 

It would feel like this 

We came to be 

Against a backdrop of mayhem and heartbeats 

Racing through backstreets, alleys and backyards 

But somehow always made safe retreat 

And these faded walls 

Make me feel home 

Said these faded walls 

Make me feel home 

Cause I still get the chills 

At Washington and 13th 

Our youth trapped in these blocks 

Never again to be seen 

And I don't like to think of you lost in this sea 

Of icy cold eyes void of all sympathy 

I knew when I left there'd be things that I'd miss 

But I never expected it would feel like this
