Neighborhood Schemes

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah... Summer heat... Same old block... Same old dreams... You know how it goes... [Verse 1] Wake up, shoes by the front door, Mama say, "Don't come back late no more." Step outside, hear the bikes roll past, Everybody chasing memories that never seem to last. One got a notebook full of crazy plans, One keeps thinking three or four steps in advance. The other just laughs, trying not to stress, Somehow every afternoon turns into a mess. Pocket full of pennies, hoping they'll grow, Looking for a shortcut everybody don't know. Talking real big while we're sitting on the curb, Turning little conversations into something you've heard. Sometimes the whole block feels like our stage, Every day's another chapter, another page. Win a little, lose a little, that's alright, We'll be back tomorrow morning with another bright idea in sight. [Hook] It's just another day... Trying to make something out of nothing. Laugh today... Keep on running. Every block got another story to tell, Even when the whole plan don't go so well. [Verse 2] Old man watering grass across the street, Little kids playing tag in the summer heat. Ice cream truck ringing way down the lane, Everybody smiling like they forgot the rain. Sometimes life move slow, Sometimes life move fast. Trying to make these good times last. Nothing in our pockets but hope and pride, Three good friends with the whole world outside. Every scraped knee got a memory attached, Every little failure got another comeback. Neighbors shake their heads, "There they go again." But tomorrow we'll be laughing with the same old friends. [Bridge] Maybe someday we'll all move away, Find different roads and another place. But every sidewalk, every tree, Will always mean a little piece of me. [Final Hook] Just another day... Just another laugh... Just another dream... Trying to make the good times last. No matter where tomorrow leads, It all began on these neighborhood streets. [Outro] Yeah... Same block... Same friends... Different adventure... Every single day.
