In Defense of Dorchester

Staring down Cedar Grove up on Indian Hills See a skyline littered with triple deckers and gin mills Years of tot lot pass my eyes Reflecting faces that have gone by Adams corner embedded in my soul In defense of Dorchester Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends In defense of Dorchester Historical revelence cemented in her sidewalks Gather up my thoughts stroll through the observation fields Think about Dot detractors well up with a rapid anger Because I can't help but sing for her It gets real personal when she is slurred Can't forget Garvey and Hemey Park In defense of Dorchester A real community not idle zip codes In defense of Dorchester I forged a life on these streets and city roads This is who I am This is where I'm from Wear it on my sleeve Predictably the fire brand Never stay silent when she's assailed Into my heart advocacy nailed Lower Mills I did not forget you In defense of Dorchester Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends In defense of Dorchester No matter where the gang winds up, you'll always be my home --- In Defense of Dorchester - Street Dogs
