[Verse]
Old streets whisper tales of ancient fights,
Block where dreams spark under broken lights.
Corner store got new faces but same soul,
Mural faded, ghosts inhabit every goal.
[Verse 2]
Cracked sidewalks, memories etched in stone,
Ride past the school where knowledge was loaned.
Empty playground, swings creak a rusty song,
Time’s a thief, years gone but feelings still strong.
[Chorus]
Back to the block where my roots dug deep,
Time’s a river but these banks still keep.
Some things change, some remain,
Heart beats the same in this terrain.
[Verse 3]
Cafe got remodel, but coffee brews same,
Local legend spot still revered name.
Kids on bikes play tag like yesterdays,
Change a constant, yet essence never sways.
[Verse 4]
Friends dispersed, some gone, some remain,
Echoes of laughter resonate in rain.
New buildings rise where old ones fell,
Stories of a place where memories dwell.
[Chorus]
Back to the block where my roots dug deep,
Time’s a river but these banks still keep.
Some things change, some remain,
Heart beats the same in this terrain.
