Ode to No City
[Chorus: Talya]
Ode to no city and ode to no town
This is the place where our whole lives went down
Doesn’t the forest just feel like a bubble
Out in the world, I’m afraid I’m in trouble
[Verse 1: Markus]
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the smell
And grease as well of Blue Check, you can tell
I got the Reuben on a sub, might as well
Check out the city where the Doors first fell
And it blew right past me
Nobody asked me
Out on the hill it can get kinda nasty
Bathrooms in school they can get kinda nasty
Standing in circles the teachers see passing
On the post road trying to get to the mall
North Haven Chick-fil-a, sauce got it all
Taking a hop like it was Sperry Falls
Or Milford post-Sandy we ain’t got no walls
Remember?
When schools shutting down in September
Cancel Halloween cause there’s ice in October
No snow in November, December
But the air is so cold that I’m rushing to enter
Shit, it’s 7:34
They locked the side door
Drag my feet on the floor
And the lounge just got locked which is whack
I’m staying classy and I’m missing Mac
[Chorus: Talya]
Ode to no city and ode to no town
This is the place where our whole lives went down
Doesn’t the forest just feel like a bubble
Out in the world, I’m afraid I’m in trouble
[Verse 2: ZGB]
Yeah
Ode to the 203, these hills done raised me
Came up from the flats, now we live in the trees
Riding with the two seats, windows down 'till it freeze
Still got our hats, can't take that shit from me
Rest in peace to Athenian, I miss the late nights
We out in the BOW, driving with no street lights
Living under the West Rock, man, this life is alright
Not much time left here, let's live it up for tonight
[Verse 3: Markus]
My room is a mess cause I’m feeling depressed
It’s time to fuck it up like a tornado just left
Ice cold like it’s Rita’s
Mamoun’s with some pitas
Ice tea is unsweetened
That's New Haven pizza
That's Pepe’s, that's Sally’s, that Modern I know
The fire is coal with my thin crusted flow
The colony settled on beaches, it's crazy
We’re growing our reaches, appreciate teachers
Five Guys got burgers and fries
And the peanuts are plenty got tears in my eyes
Y’all remember that old dude that walking his dog
While we’re trying to park we ain’t trying to hog
The whole road, but when traffic is slowed
And I’m late, I ain’t trying to hate
Don’t need that on my plate
And T bones and B bone and steak, it’s a brawl
The ort report, I can’t walk, gotta crawl
The toaster and lions, I remember it all
The higher we go, it’s the harder we fall
Man, ode to the city
Man, ode to no city
I’ll miss feeling tall
[Chorus: Talya]
Ode to no city and ode to no town
This is the place where our whole lives went down
Doesn’t the forest just feel like a bubble?
Out in the world, I’m afraid I’m in trouble
