East Cleveland

And we know that we're all about it this evening

But even heads of state, they got to admit

That there exists and E. Cleveland

And there's people living in it, swimming in it

Grinning in it, from north to south believe it

'Cause the sun still shines, the trash gets picked up every week

People sit on front stoops with cold drinks, drop the beat

It started with nothing but hate

And now it's nothing but great

Because this town is built on what we all really want

And that's a lake with a beach

And we know that sometimes it's hard to keep breathing

But you can believe in fate, but the fact still remains

That you gotta work for what you're needing

'Cause see horses sweat, and men they perspire

But E. Cleveland grows like an urgent brush fire

Nothin fast or blunt that'll knock you down with the heat

It's subtle, it's community, you feel it street to street.
