It was early 1999
On the Blue Route crusin I was feelin just fine
Got the wiper blades synced to the beat of this song
In the backseat freezin cause the heater was gone
Headed to the Vet, Birds cap cocked to the side
Hoppin out the Saab waitin on the Park and Ride
Mama handed me a scarf, told my Dad to be safe
Hopped the SEPTA on time except the game was delayed
Winter wind had me gripin on my ticket in hand
Pops told me keep it close or it might get nabbed
With the wind blowin, tears flowin, lashes frozen
Bread bags in my shoes so my toes ain't soakin
39 East Oregon Ave
Ordered up a wiz wit and put the fries in the bag
This bald cat walked over started talkin to Dad
I shook the man's hand damn what a story he had
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
Still in awe about shakin the hand
Of a man who bet a hundred we'd be taking the Rams
38-31 at the time I was young
I didn't know about how he got his business done
Philly cat from the southside, hustlers mind
I just remember thinkin damn I wanna be that guy
Overcoming obstacles, put his life on the line
And someday he wants to take his business nation wide
It was a blue print
It's just one of those things
When you're a kid you see the power that a prescience brings
You model from it
Put him on a list of my heroes
Competition's steep but Philly bred people don't feel no
Failure in their lives because tomorrow's today
That underdog's off the chain now he's comin' to play
Unless you've been to the city
That's the spirit of Philly
A couple years and a man's steady stackin a milli
He's a legend in our city and he's only a man
That's the of a boy shaking Tony Luke's hand
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
Tony Luke
It's a story, a story of a man and his glory
Tony Luke
