[Jamil - Suburbia lyrics]
I come from the most irrelevant
City in the map
Where it's not about where you're going
It's about where you're at
And it's not about who you run with
It's about who you run with past tense
But past tense only matters with
Dead dreams and Madlibs
But dead dreams never matter
When money's involved
And money's always involved
Cause politics speaks volumes
And volumes only matter in
Bank statements and barbecues
And barbecues are simply a status symbol
The same way we make sure
To mow our lawns even
Though NO ONE knows the city
Limit for grass height
And we make sure we know our neighbors names
But leave it at that
And let me find out the neighbors
Have a bigger TV than me
And let me find out the neighbors have
Summer home in God knows where
And let me know why I give
2 cents about the neighbors car
"And don't forget to ask me how concerned I
Am about the new neighbors teenage son"
Let's just say he won't be playing
With little Jimmy any time soon
I study daytime television religiously
I root for the same high school that
3 generations of my family graduated from
My concrete driveway is as flawless
As the garden I
Paid to have installed in my front lawn
I did everything I was supposed to
Yet, no amount of car
Stickers, Whole Foods coupons
And PTA meetings can answer my one question:
Why can't I remember life
Outside the city limit's?
City in the map
Where it's not about where you're going
It's about where you're at
And it's not about who you run with
It's about who you run with past tense
But past tense only matters with
Dead dreams and Madlibs
But dead dreams never matter
When money's involved
And money's always involved
Cause politics speaks volumes
And volumes only matter in
Bank statements and barbecues
And barbecues are simply a status symbol
The same way we make sure
To mow our lawns even
Though NO ONE knows the city
Limit for grass height
And we make sure we know our neighbors names
But leave it at that
And let me find out the neighbors
Have a bigger TV than me
And let me find out the neighbors have
Summer home in God knows where
And let me know why I give
2 cents about the neighbors car
"And don't forget to ask me how concerned I
Am about the new neighbors teenage son"
Let's just say he won't be playing
With little Jimmy any time soon
I study daytime television religiously
I root for the same high school that
3 generations of my family graduated from
My concrete driveway is as flawless
As the garden I
Paid to have installed in my front lawn
I did everything I was supposed to
Yet, no amount of car
Stickers, Whole Foods coupons
And PTA meetings can answer my one question:
Why can't I remember life
Outside the city limit's?
