Letra de Homeboys

[Intro: Howard Finster]
But when you get through this place, it's just a reception room. You hang your hat up. You pull your coat off in the lobby.
[Verse 1]
In the summertime on the street where I grew up
There was black guys and white boys and Mexicans
And we'd love to make a football game, lightpost-to-lightpost
"Here comes another car, get out of the way again"
We'd never miss a day, and hardly missed a night
Of talking about each other's sisters under the streetlight
[Chorus 1]
Didn't care about the world
Didn't matter about nobody but the homeboys
The tiny and the strong
Everybody knew that they belonged with the homeboys
[Verse 2]
I used to walk to high school every day with Jerry G
We had sort of a connection, I think
He taught me how to write on the wall and I taught him how to play chess
Some kind of strange urban link
We'd never missed a day of those twenty-minute talks
Till a fifteen-year-old drive-by shooter took him off our block
[Chorus 2]
Hang your head and hide your eyes
And watch a thousand cars go by with homeboys
We learned of loss that day
And everybody knew that things had changed for the homeboys
Homeboys
[Guitar Solo]
Come on!
[Chorus 1]
Didn't care about the world
Didn't matter about nobody but the homeboys
The tiny and the strong
Everybody knows that they belong with the homeboys
Homeboys
Come on!
[Guitar Solo]
