six.eight - brookline blvd Lyrics

When I was only five just a tiny lad
Told my mom I gonna fight for workers' rights
My mom said son You're just a little kid
I said I know got join the strike
She said you ain't leaving our safe backyard
I said you'll find down on Brookline Boulevard

When I was much older a big bad teen
I told my dad no time to wait gonna stick it to the man
My dad didn't know what he should've said
I took my skateboard for I had a plan
Grabbed my backpack with my Pokémon cards
But no time to play on Brookline boulevard

In just a little bit I will be fourteen
Got my jacket, sneakers, and my favorite jeans
Crossing guard man he tried to bust my rhyme
I've got a bag of candy, the kind that's hard
With a swirling mind filled with Mountain Dew
Doin' no crime on Brookline Boulevard

My best friend's parents said 'you're just a little snot'
High school's next that's a fly I'll swat
Counselor's full of the buttoned-up vibe
'Stop wasting your life, you gotta try hard,'
Didn't do my homework but I'm well read
Skate mean, live clean Brookline Boulevard
