144 will always be my favourite street corner
I was posted on that bitch
Like I was the owner
Got growner
Got a feel for this controller
Rolling stoned
Pulling plenty 4 leaf clovers
Getting wasted plenty times
Getting f*cked up
In the place beyond the pines
Every single colour
I could find under the sky
I tried to put them all into these lines
These days I find myself in all the strangest places
It's funny there were times I couldn't find no traces
24 like the perfect liberation
Dog days singing like good vibrations
The streets is watching, the block is hot
The summer's here, comment ça va
We did it all, well we done a lot
I'm getting by, I didn't get got
The streets is watching, the block is hot
The summer's here, comment ça va
We did it all, well we done a lot
I'm getting by, I didn't get got
We were there
And your mom used to walk about
3 blocks to take piano lessons
So that was grade 2
And after that
We went into that house away from IGA
Closer to the river valley
The bigger home
After the divorce, where did I go?
I was forced to sell
And we moved to a little house
Just down the street from where...
You know where you play basketball?
And now look, I'm back here
The streets is watching, the block is hot
The summer's here, comment ça va
We did it all, well we done a lot
I'm getting by, I didn't get got
All these times I tried to say it my way
I guess I needed
A little time
And ain't it so strange
The way that things change
I guess we changed
I guess that I've aged
I guess we changed
Got lost on the way
Summertime solstice
Some things the same
Woah woah woah
We're going to have a party tonight
Woah woah woah
We're going to have a party
Woah, we're going to have a party tonight
Oh shit, we're going to have a party
The streets is watching, the block is hot

We did it all, well we done a lot
I'm getting by, I didn't get got
The streets is watching, the block is hot
The summer's here, comment ça va
We did it all, well we done a lot
I'm getting by, I didn't get got
You know we gon' go to the moon
Westside and I'm
I'm going to get it real soon
I'm going to get it real soon
Until the end of time
