Emmett Street Showdown

Lyrics

[INTRO] Yo, it’s the tale of Todd and Jerry, two houses on Emmett Street. [VERSE 1] They built their homes at 29 and 31, a splash of orange paint. Neighbors whisper, “That’s illegal, the town’s been lax!” No grading, no permits, no heed for the flood. Each spring, the water rises, turns yards to a mud. [CHORUS] Emmett Street, the flood’s a dance, but the town lets them sway. They’re living on the edge of a lawsuit’s gray. If you’re a neighbor, you’ll feel the sting. It’s a fight for justice, a town’s soul to bring. [VERSE 2] Jerry’s just a builder, Todd runs a brew called Kame. But the beer tastes like regret, a bitter, stale shame. The houses look like trailer trash in historic blocks. Neighbors plead for change, but the city locks the docks. [BRIDGE] The lawsuits are brewing, the water’s rising higher. The town’s complacent, the streets are on a wire. We’re calling for a remedy, we’re shouting out the night. Todd and Jerry, your time is running out. [CHORUS] Emmett Street, the flood’s a dance, but the town lets them sway. They’re living on the edge of a lawsuit’s gray. If you’re a neighbor, you’ll feel the sting. It’s a fight for justice, a town’s soul to bring. [HOOK] You’ve seen the water’s rise, it’s a clear sign. The town’s just sitting there, doing nothing, just a line. [OUTRO] The court’s a battlefield, the houses in the rain. Emmett Street, the story’s not in vain. It’s about the fight, the truth, the right, and the fight.
