Hometown Anthem - 글루
Raise up
This is for your hometown
Keene New Hampshire make your noise like this
Cincinnati Ohio you make your noise like this
Aurora Illinois make your noise like this
Yeah we're doing it right
Doing it right doing it right
When did this story start
Five nineteen seventy eight
Time of birth is 11 10 pm
They named me Adam
Two weeks late starting the trend
Of being five minutes late everywhere that I go
I swear it's in my blood
It's all I know
I was born in Keene New Hampshire
Population next to nothing
Full of small town people
Just waiting for something big
To finally happen to make the days pass a easier
Going over the border to find d**e movie theaters
In culture for that all by my sleeping suburb
Until the early eighty's when music changed the world
Urban stories forced corny ballads out of the spotlight
Wind pants on cardboard every night
Little New York
Four hours north of all the traffic
1986 stuck in a third grade panic
Inside when it rained
Outside when there was sun
In a place like this everybody knows everyone
It goes
City to town we connect and build
From keene to Cincinnati to Aurora we filled
Up y'all area codes and gave you somewhere to be
We are the g to the l
To the u never forget and the e
In 1987 we moved down South Charlotte
Culture shock is the only thing you could call it
The white backdrop was gone mixed into color schemes
The mixture was the best thing for me to have seen
Thats right
I saw my first beat box on the playground
After three fights got respect as the new kid in town
Didn't last long
In 89 we moved back north
Back to Keene for the financial and emotional support
Needed help back on our feet
Dad quit his job
He couldn't handle the dead economy or his racist boss
Keene stayed the same and mom found a career
We lived in the same apartment until my freshmen year
Here the winters suck you in and the radio just sucks
Junior high passed by with bad grades and good luck
Tough days came and went
Parents split ways
But it's all just life at the end of day
Here goes
City to town we connect and build
From Keene to Cincinnati to Aurora we filled
Up y'all area codes and gave you somewhere to be
We are the g to the l
To the u never forget and the e
I had to hustle through high school
But I got my diploma
Made my parents proud
I was 2 years sober
College kids kept me sane
Bringing life to the town
Every weekend me and Shalem were holding it down
Rocking house parties selling the crowd
Cops always broke it up when we got to loud
The Keene got smaller as our reach extended
Started traveling to shows and making connections
But we always came back
For family and relationships
I loved driving into town from a long road trip
To see the streets you've ruled since you knew how to run
To see the steps of your goals
You've had since you were young
The Keene will always be there as my heaven in the trees
I'll always be back in autumn to see those leaves
Born and raised to walk the world
Looking for the unknown
I figure everywhere I go
I'm on my way back home
City to town we connect and build
From Keene to Cincinnati to Aurora we filled
Up the area codes and gave you somewhere to be
We are the g to the l
To the u to the e
City to town we connect and build

Keene New Hampshire make your noise like this
Cincinnati Ohio you make your noise like this
Aurora Illinois make your noise like this
