What?
[Bb] This is where [G] I'm from.
This is my neighborhood right here.
[Bb] No street lights.
[Gm] No [Eb] police.
[Bb] No cars.
[Gm] In this neighborhood we take care of each [Bb] other.
You got the flag there girls, yeah!
[F] [Gm] Remember I asked both my mom and dad
Why we never [Bb] travel to exotic lands
We only [Gm] ever really visit friends
Nothing to [Bb] tell when the summer [Gb] ends
We never [Gm] really went buying [Eb] clothes
Folks were passing [Bb] on the stuff in plenty loads
New [Gm] shoes once we even there
I'd sell play [Bb] balls so we could ruin them
[Eb] When mama said that it was okay
[Bb]
Mama [Dm] said that it was quite [Gm] alright
Our common [Dm] people had to pay [Gm] for the night
And it was [F] okay
Mama [Eb] told us we were good [Bb] kids
And daddy [Dm] told us never listen [Gm] to the ones
[Dm] Pointing last fingers and [Gm] making fun
Cause we were [F] good kids
Don't get me [G] wrong I didn't have it bad
I got enough [Bb] loving from my mom and dad
But I don't [Gm] think they really understood
When I said that I [Bb] wanted a deal in Hollywood
I told [Gm] them I'd be singing on TV
[Eb]
The other kids [Bb] were calling me a wannabe
The older [Gm] kids they started bugging me
But now you're all [Bb] standing right in front of me

I [Bb] know my home
[Gm] When [C] I'm in doubt and [Eb] struggling
That's [Bb] where I go
[Gm] An old friend can [C] give advice
[Eb] When old friends only [Bb] know a half story
[Gm] That's why I always [C] keep them tight
And why [Eb] I'm okay
I said [D] I'm okay
