the dirty rose - ethan harrington lyrics

[verse 1]
gotta spit it on a kanye west beat
this my f-cking homecoming, back to my old street
corners where the friends meet, you know melrose is my city
and i’m the best from around here, motherf-ckers come and get me
02176, 781, 617, it’s
the place where august 11th’s a hit
the city’s so small, y’all probably know who i’m with
eigth grade, running through the city with austin and vince
i could tell you about those days
sticking to our old ways
robbing the convenient store downtown always
not thinking ’bout getting paid
we thinking ’bout getting laid
not working with numbers, now we thinking ’bout financial aid
you can’t find a town like this, no where
million dollar houses, but some people got no gear
bunch of kids running they mouth like they got no fear
stepping up to people at parties like: “you don’t go here”
but oh yeah, this the city where it’s grown clear
most people ain’t leaving until they got like no hair
so scared
ending up like that’ll make you wanna get out pr-nto
i ain’t staying all my life, this isn’t drake, this ain’t toronto
i would leave it tomorrow if i could
but ask me if i’ll ever return, i’ll say i would
this a place to raise children, yeah but watch their back
they could grow up to a million or get stopped on smoking crack!
i’m at

[chorus x2]
the city i ain’t choose it’s
the best i ever could it’s
where kid’s are coppin’ shoes
it is melrose m-ssachusetts
the city where it’s cool it’s
the city cops pursue in
the old and then the new
it’s just melrose m-ssachusetts

[verse 2]
melrose m-ssachusetts, how you doing?
lincoln elementary to mvmms for schooling
cooling, on the playground way back
used to play alligator, shouts to the kids that know that
fast forward, way past
drinking in the woods at
golf courses, of course it’s
p-ssed down from late grads
cops mad, parents mad
noise complaint, where they at
trying to find us but they can’t
on foot, too fast
they p-ssed us
hiding in the bushes, we too good at
getting away, but today i’m getting good at getting paid
and if you go out in my town you should know that
when you hear: “ske-ew!” you better ske-ew back!
i’m in

[chorus]

[verse 3]
melrose m-ssachusetts, how you do this?
how you have expensive schools and dirty public pools it’s
crazy to me, that this place came to be
downtown’s just a few blocks of stores on main street
there can’t be, another place like this in this country
a small city, everywhere here’s within short reach
but if you gotta walk, it could end up being far
that’s why most of us by junior year have got ourselves a car
that’s why the parking lot at melrose high gets you caught
in traffic every day, move two feet forward and stop
no it ain’t like la, nah it ain’t like new york
it’s just my tiny hometown that i am putting on for!
i’m in

[chorus]

[verse 4]
melrose m-ssachusetts, they all love me in my city
at least they will after this, so i will take you all with me
i’m repping us like bed stuy, y’all can start calling me biggie
lifting off on the red-eye, see these other cities are pity’s
i said i’m ready for you others to come and get me
i’m letting boston and melrose discuss it like a committee
so hit me, it’s tricky to claim these things
might think it’s risky
but melrose m-ssachusetts is my motherf-cking city
