emerald street
jamila woods
if you bring the mild sauce
you can have the coleslaw
we can share the one straw
o-on emerald street where we used to meet
on my ma's porch seat hoping she won't see
it's a wonderful day in the hood
won't you be my neighbour
won't you be my neighbour
won't you be my. not a lot of places we can go to be together
write a message in a bottle tell your neighbour tell your god and somebody should remember them
you got my house phone jumping
play ball in the alley it's jumping
treat the corner store likes it's a luncheon
i heard your best friend like-like my cousin
old lady say to stay out her grass
talk back then i got put on punishment
couldn't go outside for a meal
even try to run away like i'm tubman
i know you like my bike it's a huffy
with the pen we be stuntin'
someone stole it i call shorty
he say he seen someone on it
got it back the same night
i hope this day never end
then i tell you how i like you
you say that we were just friends
o-on emerald street where we used to meet
on my ma's porch seat hoping she won't see
it's a wonderful day in the hood
won't you be my neighbour
won't you be my neighbour
