2.25 Songtext
von MICHELLE

Mama don′t wanna pay 2.25
So I glide right under the turnstile
Turn around and look outside
Loved watching all the houses in Queens fly by

1-880
Where I'll always be
Ain′t got no home
With a backyard and a shade tree
Up on 93
Play hide and seek
In the greenery that's across the street


When you hear that little jingle
Know that everything's okay
Got an icey in your hand
And you got summer on your brain
Late night walks in Central Park
Got twinkles in your eyes
Is it streetlights shining on your face
Or all the fireflies?
When you hear that little jingle
Know that everything′s okay
Got an icey in your hand
And you got summer on your brain
Late night walks in Central Park
Got twinkles in your eyes
Is it streetlights shining on your face
Or all the fireflies?

8 Am skip down the block
Girls I went to school with all grew up and suck some face
Always brazy in the cab
Pouring chocolate milk on some girl′s head
Just to make us laugh

1-880
What I've always known
No other place
That I′d ever call my home
1-880
Now it's time to leave
I′ve got to see
Something other than my home city


When you hear that little jingle
Know that everything's okay
Got an icey in your hand
And you got summer on your brain
Late night walks in Central Park
Got twinkles in your eyes
Is it streetlights shining on your face
Or all the fireflies?

The city is a jungle
It′s the perfect place to play
Cruising on my Razor scooter
Don't forget to slam the brake
Walking down on 86th street
Hot air from subway grates
Smells like trash and piss
But I know that's never gonna change
