These streets

These streets

 

We ran the streets hard

We ran to places we didn’t even know
We just enjoyed the adventure
The things we would discover

We ran the streets like rascals on a mission

We didn’t care who saw us
We just ran

The streets were a learning field

We had a need to take over
We never thought we would grow
We never realized we were just a next generation
What we were doing was already done
But we didn’t care

According to us we were the first to ever do it

And we were just proud and excited when the results were seen
People will laugh at you because they are not in the field with you
We learned a lot in the streets
So much that our grown days are reflections of what we used to do
Yes, in the streets that we ran.

We created things while we discovered others

The champs of the streets
We grew up and we started seeing change
Running the streets was not easy as it was before
The energy was less

Discoveries were not as exciting as they were

People just saw us as normal
Even some people we ran with started walking

The streets have become different

The next generation had other plans
When people say “in my time”
The streets is where the phrase came to life

Everyone has their own “streets life”

What you did and what you do
The difference was visible
People are not the same, at all
The streets, my teacher…
