Lyric Breakdown
“What’s audible? Neighbors as they passing by connection felt so honorable
We were segregated, but the placement never faded hope that anything was possible.
Everything was walkable connected like some dominoes.”
This line came out of conversations I had with any elder in the community I had a chance to talk to. Everyone talks about how the neighborhoods were different in their day. People passing by would say hi. Everything they needed was in their community - grocery store, barbershop, textiles, etc. Very different than how we live today, especially relating to grocery stores and the food deserts prevalent in certain areas of the city.
