She comes from Boston, works at the jewelry store
Down in the harbor, where the ferries come to shore
She never really knew how good it would feel
To finally find herself in a place, so warm and real
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
She comes from Boston, talks to her family, now and then
Through e-mails and post-cards, she tries to explain to them
That education and occupation will have to wait for now
She loves the Rosta Reggae rhythms, her dreams have changed somehow
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
Her toes dig deep and deeper in the sand
She's seduced by the sunsets and her new life at hand
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
From Boston

[1 verse]
boston where we spit the realest
must feel us, live careless but we aint killers
where drug dealers make a million off of living shallow
and police cant scare em but they scared of their shadows
rap joseph so i might as well be herding cattle,
rowing through the sea of fire with my burnt paddles
im spitting you should listen to a boy babble
about the life and the truth that we cant handle
all my friends blowing money while I blow a candle
making a wish that my story has a twist
afterall im just a young black catalyst
bringing hope to all you modern day lazeryths,
taking critism turn it to a tip,
better quit cause when I spit im just to equipped,
I satnd alone im a little too advanced for cliques,
the chicks finnah call be baby cause they feel the kick,
this is
chorus : Boston 8x
[2 verse]Boston, otherwise known as the melting pot,
we always hip so you always hear the pelvis pop,
against the clock so we always go never stop,
trying to make bread no time for your brethren talk,
they sling rocks, move bricks, talk slick,
try to clock these dimes cause they really are thick,
Jordan fresh kicks and they so authentic
and since im looking dip you know who these chicks pick,
im just a Boston kid, raised in the suburbs,
born in Jamaica and fly as no other,
single child so don’t refer to me as your brother
cause I know your quick to leave me hanging like a cow utter ,
I utter out tracks blinded to the fact that,
if I make it they’ll be on my back like a backpack,
city on my back, put my city on the map,
Randolph, and Boston really where you at?
Boston
chorus : Boston 8 x
[3 verse]living right, just another night,
fingers on the keys, like im trying to type,
bad girl chilling she makes me wanna pipe,
but i know it aint right, yeah alright not quite,
so I ,proceed, life of a kid,
cause when you in Boston this the life that you live,
home of a catalyst, we present the baddest ish,
lives disappear and this is far from a magic trick,
Houdini ,Jamaican without a beanie,
been living inside the beanie getting green like zucchinis,
off of cd's we selling wherever we be,
went from eating wheaties to quickly stacking the wheaties,
cant leave my city need me,
my grind gives you the heebie jeebies,
wont stop til we on TV,
this is Boston

I might've spent too long. I might've tried too hard. But you didn't feel the same, promised your life away. I look before I leap and that doesn't make us strong, effects the long run. This job was made for you, and I don't think I'll ever know, I can't believe its true, I've never seen this side of you. Another night gone wrong, the minutes last too long, but no matter what I say, things just drag on this way, to finally see you smile, well thats the one thing I can wait forever for.

in the light of the sun, is there anyone? oh it has begun...
oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
this world you must've crossed...you said...
you don't know me, you don't even care,
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...
essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across
an open field,
when flowers gaze at you...they're not the only ones who cry
when they see you
you said...
you don't know me, you don't even care,
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...
she said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new tow, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Boston...where no one knows my name...

I've got a story, sounds so boring
But it's hard to confess that
At the end I had a lot of fun
Please let me go, I need to go and
I won't call the police for everytime
That you tried to kill me.
You're black then you're white
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
It's friday night I'm all alone
And I'm just wondering if
You think of me or still about that loser
He looks a fag (YOU LOOK A FAG)
When he's walking around
Does he feel good with that ridiculous hairstyle?
You're black then you're white
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
Oh hell, it's obvious
We're in the story that will never end
My friend, i need some help
Someday you'll understand
Someday you'll realize
Never will be too late.
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
My way to Boston, I'm gonna find it

In her car six hours long
Whisper words song after song
Eyes wide shut we sat and stare
Long loss sought, oh, life's unfair
We always want we can't have
And we always lose
So we're always sad
Grade school crush
Blood soaked hair
Four more hours and well there
Utter words of importance
When we forget to say
She likes me, I love her
But they always go away
Wishful thinking
Lost train of thought
Shattered dreams broke
From the start, desperate yells
Cries for help, we do it ourselves
What we always want we'll never have
'Cause we want too much
What is love and whats it like
One one zero off the mass pike
Irony floods the car like air
Hope and pray that she is there

all the cities in the world
and so very little time and
so many different girls...
all you have to do is find them
there's a wealth of opportunity you plan your trips accordingly
a pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy
say how'd you like to run away from these machines?
everywhere the spies are printing out your dreams
seven stops in seven different countries
seven page itineraries memories thick as bloody marys jesus jospeh bloody hell
right now were here in boston
in love with downtown crossing
new york will still be there in the morning
come back to bed my darling
four years thrown away on vows we never kept
forty-five minutes every day religiously devoted to regret
time we could have spent on medication thrown away on education
and we planned to take a trip to scotland but we never made it
how'd you like to run away from these machines?
i had julians and steves
you had julias and jeanette s
you wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men i haven't met (yet)
i had oliver in potsdam you had elanor in amsterdam
we're keeping track so carefully we've missed the state we're in completely
honestly your foot is out the door and i've got scores of offers elsewhere and keep
both
feet planted firmly in the air
and tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind but trust me everything is
fine
because
right now we're here in boston
in my apartment in the south end
forget your year in london
come back to bed my darling
you can put the details in a letter
the more embarrassing the better
right now i can be happy if i choose to
i know that in the morning i will lose you....
and maybe you'll go mad
and maybe ill go gray
and pack up to berlin
or maybe it wont matter anyway
we'll find out that your mom was right and you'll admit you're really gay
and maybe ill wake up
in a city far away
or maybe we'll make up
and buy a house and have a couple kids and labrador and microwave
but anyway
right now we're here in boston
in eden where you almost pulled your pants down
don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on
come back to bed my darling
there is nothing in the world that we can count on
even that we will wake up is an assumption
but i know for a fact that i loved someone
and for about a year he lived in boston...

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone? Oh, it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red, the tears are shed
This world you must have crossed, you said
You don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
And you said, you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains, oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
You carry all your thoughts across an open field
Where flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones who cry when they see you
You said you don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
Well you said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains, oh yeah
She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
And fly 'em out to Spain
Oh yeah and I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I was tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of Sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah
You don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
Boston, where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name, yeah
Boston, where no one knows my name

[Mr. Lif]
I've got universal thoughts in my dome
But I've gotta let you know how it is back home
In Boston - the place that I dwell
Where Esoteric and 7L dropped heads well
We're virtuoso on the track - so go grab it
Gotta say peace to my man Akrobatik
You heard us on inhuman
And we're steadily improvin'
Brothers till the conclusion
Probe lyrical my man Trevski
Rise with the critical eyes Papa D
Who believed in me
From the very first track
When I was Lif to the man
And he started back pack productions
With the archaeologist Steve
Who made madness in '95 you see
The beggining of a dynasty
And can't forget the legendary Ninja-B
He used to build with me
Before I even made a song
He said the road is paved but long
And many things can go wrong
What's up One Sense with the cuts intense
Showing up with the bliz
And reminding me to live to the fullest
Plus recognize where the bull is
So I'd never get stuck
Big up T-Ruck and Insight
Hip Hop will be in shock when we unite
Knights of the Round Table
Will be the brothers to beat
Gotta send a shout to the Governor Pete
Plus my man Fakts the producer of this track
He's nice on the wheels in fact
Why don't you give him a scratch
[Fakts One x2: scratches "Boston"]
If you search for the city of which I talk
Its about four hours northeast of New York
And if its our sports history you observe
You'll find legends such as Bobby Orr and Larry Bird
And I remember when shit was hot - we used to not
Be able to see Hip Hop without the threat of getting shot
But Ed O G held it down and so did R S O
Plus Guru came form here as you know
And I've had the honor of watching the scene grow
Pete from Dif used to go
And lock down studio time just so brothers could flow
We all were excited and none could wait
To be featured on his new very freestyle tape
MCs worked hard and few were lienient
Back when Metro Concepts was main ingredient
A couple of times a month
They used to spin Hip Hop at the western front
So people could come down and check the underground sound
Mics would open up and MCs would gather round
With enough mental force to shatter sound
No body sat around - they all stood attentive
Cause the styles that they heard and observed
Were ultimately fly and inventive
Big up to Bruno from Bisquithead
He made a fly deal with the dred consignment
To put my first record in alignment
With the rest of y'all rap artists on the wall
Emerson Radio, MIT Northeastern Tufts and BC
Keep the airwaves blaze and I remember back in the days
When I used to check Dave Mays
On Harvard Radio 95.3
That was the first time that I heard Kool Keith
Mays soon went on to start The Source
And help make Hip Hop a media force
Fortunately as the story goes
Bruno, Metro, and Dif Productions
Organized shows with well known artists
So they could expose
The hard working local MCs that they know
And Lo and Behold the skills have gotten refined
Their presence is tight and the stage show is designed
And there's no doubt in my mind
As long as we use all three eyes an'
Keep strivin'
We opening acts now, about to be headlining
Defining rhyming
I love every single one of y'all - keep shining!
"It's a B o s - t o n thing" "Boston" [x2]
[Man] Ayy whats up there young brother?
[Lif] 'Sup brother?
[Man] What's happening?
[Lif] Yo man, just been in the studio
[Man] Yeah I had a chance to check out
Some of your vibes, you know?
[Lif] Word
[Man] My son hipped me to it
[Lif] Cool, cool
[Man] I'm really feeling what y'all been doing
[Lif] Yo I'm glad to hear that cause
A brother's been working hard
[Man] Ayy, by the way... where y'all from?

I went back to Boston
Back to the City of Lost Love
I went back to the place
And recognized your face in the stone long gone
I walked around Harvard Square
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
I took the red line a wrong way
Across the River Charles
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
I went walking in Boston
A little bridge I used to walk on
I was slipping on a hog
And I flung into that sea of strong
Processing need not apply
For you to license to fly
Hey young lady don't be so suprised
You know you're not alone
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
It was Memorial Day
I went to where you lay
There were thousands of people
Just like you in a chain graveyard
You came out of there awake
Looking for the sky
And got a slap in the face
Well hey
Desperate needs a big led
And gets put in the place
You better know your place boy
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
Only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving goodbye

I have left my heart in Boston
And I left my soul in springtime
And I've forgotten how it feels to be in love again
And I still miss you
Somehow I left the world behind me
I can't remember how to find me
And I've forgotten how it feels to truly love someone
My God, I miss you
And nobody ever said that it would be this hard
Just want to go back
And walk with you along the Charles
You never believe how hard this real world thing can be
Until you see
I think I lost my smile in Cambridge
And my spirit in a snowy haze
And I've forgotten how it feels to be in love with life
I really miss you
So I've been around the world by now
And I've seen enough to know
That if you truly find your heart somewhere
You better take it with you where you go
And nobody told me my life would be this way
I'm watching the years go sailing by
Just like the days
I'm thinking how Boston seems to be the perfect place
To leave my heart
I have left my heart in Boston
I left it right there
At the downtown crossing

Spoke to my girl on the phone today
She said she wish I'd come there right away
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives
Catch a plane and soon I will be gone
And I'll be in her arms before too long
In Boston Massachusetts she'll be there
And we'll be together everywhere
You see, I'm leaving 'cause I'm sad
Got a girl and I want to see her bad
You see I'm not leaving 'cause of you
I just can't stand to sit here feeling blue
Can't go on when I don't like this town
I feel so bad not having her around
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
