| And we drove all through the neighborhood
|
| Just sittin' in a car all day
|
| Tryna find a radio
|
| And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil
|
| Pointed at the window frame
|
| Tryna find a radio
|
| All up in my grandma’s basement
|
| Slidin' all the closet doors
|
| Tryna find a radio
|
| And the homies say they heard a rap song
|
| Sounded like some folks they know
|
| But we couldn’t find a radio
|
| Hard to express when the world is listenin'
|
| Hard when you’re sure that the world is not
|
| In between P.M. |
| Dawn, and Sun Ra
|
| Wearing a suit like my school mascot
|
| The Edison owl not a head in the crowd
|
| Could match my technique and impeccable style (style)
|
| Says the young Hassan
|
| In the mirror while Tip’s saying «rock-rock-on»
|
| With my guy Stefan who despite the specks
|
| Saw himself doing things he would live to regret
|
| Anyway, reciting off top the memory
|
| Burnt a little chia my laugh was Gimli (heh)
|
| Regarding the guns I coulda shot
|
| I’m more Dove might blow up but won’t pop
|
| Jigsaw blocks and hop the road home
|
| Steps on the Ave where I played and roamed
|
| And we drove all through the neighborhood
|
| Just sittin' in a car all day
|
| Tryna find a radio
|
| And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil
|
| Pointed at the window frame

|
| The old me would drink a 40
|
| And eat bologna, shinobi
|
| On NBA Live, I play with Kobe
|
| The OGs, I miss my old hood
|
| Miss my homies, is lonely
|
| The radio host is like they know me
|
| The ocean with the seashell is how we floatin'
|
| Was hopin' to hear the airwaves, I think it’s broken
|
| I can still play it if the tape resurfaces
|
| Kept the old Boombox for just these purposes
|
| Heard a day show had mine on there recently
|
| People had a hard time finding the frequency
|
| Piece of me show feels personal
|
| Circled on all sides by used car commercials
|
| It’s worth it though, whole block listenin'
|
| 'cept the kids, they so not interested
|
| Implement new COINTELPRO’s
|
| Hooks, fit loops, copyrighted by Velcro
|
| Whole sound changed, don’t nobody want to sell those
|
| Call the intercom yab this is my bellcote
|
| And we drove all through the neighborhood
|
