Down Around Here
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics

You gotta live where it feels right
Living somewhere should feel like a natural fit

Right in the full sense it's all about sight
It's not just about where you physically reside but also enjoying the sights around you

Sight of your city, sight of your friends
The view of your city and friends should complement each other nicely

Friends complement the city to a nice blend
Your friends should enhance the overall feel of the city you live in

Down around here we go and keep things nice
In this area, people generally try to maintain a positive atmosphere

We sweep out those who take interest in a fight
We don't tolerate people who intentionally cause trouble

Down around here the music plays an uppity beat
The music here is lively and upbeat

Then a trumpet plays, a saxophone plays, it's nice
Musicians here use many instruments to create an enjoyable sound

Basement windows boom out the sounds
The sound of the music can be heard from the basements of buildings

Of beats where our women love to be spun around
The music is ideal for dancing with loved ones

Round here people got their art on check
The people here take pride in their artistic talents and abilities

Well have you be a poet, painter or just give respect
People here are accepting of all types of art and artists

Down around here we read what bukowski wrote
The people here appreciate the works of poet Charles Bukowski

Down around here we think ska music's dope
The people here love ska music

We crowd the stereo, we pass the smoke slow
People here listen to music together and relax with some marijuana

We pull our women closer for our love for them to show
The people here are affectionate and not afraid to show it

Society we've analyzed
The people here have taken a deep look at society

Humanity we've theorized
The people here have thought about the nature of humanity

Philosophy we've memorized
The people here are knowledgeable about various philosophical teachings

Down around here positive minds meet
This is where optimistic and driven individuals gather

Plotting dreams into plans that manifest into beats
These people turn their goals into actions that come to life through music

Well here you got a problem speak it coolly and calmly
If you have a problem, the people here encourage you to calmly and rationally discuss it

Cause we're supporting those with evolved mentalities
The people here respect those who have progressive and open-minded ways of thinking

Boston here fluent in stroll
The locals here are skilled at walking around the city

The people's confidence is full in control
The locals are self-assured and in charge of their lives

Only European-style city in the U.S. man
Boston is unique in its European-style architecture and atmosphere

Jamaica plain, mission hill, my worn out sneaks
These are specific neighborhoods in Boston that the artist frequents

Just hanging out on rooftops un-caged and free
People here enjoy spending time on rooftops and feeling free

Down ‘round here one mic is a studio
Musicians here make the most out of what they have and can turn even one microphone into a productive recording space

Visions and talents glow, minds and music grow
In this community, people's creative talents flourish and they continue to learn and improve

Labeling we've downsized, music we re-stylize
The people here are not concerned with labels and instead focus on making music that is unique and innovative

Self expression's never compromised
People here believe in the importance of expressing oneself without fear of judgment

Yeah, everything feels nice
Overall, the atmosphere and energy around the people here is very pleasant

It's getting hot its getting hot outside
The weather is starting to heat up

Bust out the fan baby everything feels nice
People here are taking steps to stay comfortable in the heat, making the overall vibe even nicer
