In Defense Of Dorchester Lyrics
Staring down Cedar Grove up on Indian Hills
See a skyline littered with triple deckers and gin mills
Years of tot lot pass my eyes
Reflecting faces that have gone by
Adams corner embedded in my soul
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
Historical revelence cemented in her sidewalks
Gather up my thoughts stroll through the observation fields
Think about Dot detractors well up with a rapid anger
Because I can't help but sing for her
It gets real personal when she is slurred
Can't forget Garvey and Hemey Park
In defense of Dorchester
A real community not idle zip codes
In defense of Dorchester
I forged a life on these streets and city roads
This is who I am
This is where I'm from
Wear it on my sleeve
Predictably the fire brand
Never stay silent when she's assailed
Into my heart advocacy nailed
Lower Mills I did not forget you
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
No matter where the gang winds up, you'll always be my home
See a skyline littered with triple deckers and gin mills
Years of tot lot pass my eyes
Reflecting faces that have gone by
Adams corner embedded in my soul
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
Historical revelence cemented in her sidewalks
Think about Dot detractors well up with a rapid anger
Because I can't help but sing for her
It gets real personal when she is slurred
Can't forget Garvey and Hemey Park
A real community not idle zip codes
In defense of Dorchester
I forged a life on these streets and city roads
This is where I'm from
Wear it on my sleeve
Predictably the fire brand
Into my heart advocacy nailed
Lower Mills I did not forget you
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
No matter where the gang winds up, you'll always be my home
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Stand up for your hometown motherfuckers!
Cool song, cool band.
In comment to Flip the tapexX Mike McColgan is from Savin Hill, not dorchester, but I beleive this may be about his neighbourhood
first off,
Mike is from Savin Hill and Savin Hill is in Dorchester...As far as im concerned, its about standing up for his hometown against the media since if your from MA, it gets mangled by it but watever has/happens there.
yepp Nick777 is correct Mike is from the Savin Hill area of Dorchester Boston, Massachusett... hahah ww long ass name huh?!
