CABRINI REWIND...
Sometimes a ghetto gets under your skin
Then has you revisiting it again and again
Beckoning you back to the 365 days a year that you slept and awoke
In Cabrini Green in a three bedroom apt located at 365 W. Oak T
Taking you back to the day of your birth
When there was no silver spoon nor mirth
But what you did have was two brothers and tw sisters
You all had so much fun playing Monopoly and Twister
When you played outside you couldn't go any further than the ramp,
In the summer and winter your mother signed you up for camp.
And at night kids would get together in singing groups and
improvise,
They'd pretend to be the Supremes, Temptations, or the Jackson Five!
The buildings were somewhat better maintained...
And most of the residents were in a much better frame— of
mind...
That is why it is so easy to go back and rewind...
