Just Another Day In the Neighborhood

children are running and playing all around teenagers are dancing and bouncing up and down the music is hypnotic with it's relentless beat floating on the air all over the street just another day in the neighborhood the johnny pump is spraying water all about everyone's frolicking in it, enjoying this day out a hot summer day and we're all trying to stay cool thankful that it's Friday and tomorrow there's no school just another day in the neighborhood the streets are saturated with all manner of cops another violent incident, someone's been shot a family is feeling anguish and such terrible loss we need to stop all the unnecessary killings at any cost just another day in the neighborhood the drug pushers are on the corner selling their wares out in the open and nobody seems to care what in the hell is wrong with society? we all need a healthy dose of some reality it's just another day in our neighborhoods it's time for the people to start doing something for the good we need to stand up for our convictions and our beliefs and not give the criminal element any type of relief take back control of our streets and our towns let the thugs be aware we're no longer messing around IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
