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
