*Crocker Street (Lyrics) (Remix) (Remix)*

[Black Male Raspy Voice Speaking] If you ask where I’m at, I'm at home in Skid Row. Crocker Street my address. I learned how to smile when the day looks rough... [Pre-Chorus] If you ask where I’m at I don’t hide that name It hurt me and held me it gave me my frame Every block got a bruise every face got a prayer Still we stand right here like we been there [Verse 1] I wake up under tarps to the same hard sky Crocker Street my address where the sirens ride by Shoes full of dust and my pockets stay light Still I fold up my blanket and I face the night Bodega line long folks got nowhere to go Old man on the curb talking slow in the cold I learned how to smile when the day looks rough Learned how to share when the world act tough [Chorus] Crocker Street, Crocker Street I’m still here, I still breathe Crocker Street, Crocker Street Broken place, but it raised me Crocker Street, Crocker Street It calls my name when I can’t sleep Crocker Street, Crocker Street I won’t drown in what they see [Verse 2] Church van rolls through with the foil and bread Kids in clean backpacks cutting past where I slept Some folks look through me like I’m glass in the rain But I got a whole life in this cracked-up frame Laughed with the crew near the corner store gate Shared half a peach when the hours got late I seen shame turn to muscle seen fear turn to grit Seen a man give his seat just to help somebody sit [Pre-Chorus] If you ask where I’m at I won’t fake that part Crocker Street taught me how to carry a heart Every block got a bruise every face got a prayer Still we stand right here like we been there [Chorus] Crocker Street, Crocker Street I’m still here, I still breathe Crocker Street, Crocker Street Broken place, but it raised me Crocker Street, Crocker Street It calls my name when I can’t sleep Crocker Street, Crocker Street I won’t drown in what they see [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll get keys and a door Maybe one day I won’t sleep on the floor But I’ll bring Skid Row with me every scar, every song ’Cause surviving this block made me stubborn and strong [Chorus] Crocker Street, Crocker Street I’m still here, I still breathe Crocker Street, Crocker Street Broken place, but it raised me Crocker Street, Crocker Street It calls my name when I can’t sleep Crocker Street, Crocker Street I won’t drown in what they see Crocker Street, Crocker Street Say it loud, say it with me Crocker Street, Crocker Street I’m more than what they think of me [Final Chorus] Crocker Street, Crocker Street Crocker Street, Crocker Street Crocker Street, Crocker Street Crocker Street, Crocker Street Crocker Street, Crocker Street Say it loud, say it with me Crocker Street, Crocker Street I’m more than what they think of me I’m more than what they think of me I’m more than what they think of me Crocker Street my address. I learned how to smile when the day looks rough..
