East Cleveland Lyrics

And we know that we're all about it this evening
But even heads of state, they got to admit
That there exists and E. Cleveland
And there's people living in it, swimming in it
Grinning in it, from north to south believe it
'Cause the sun still shines, the trash gets picked up every week
People sit on front stoops with cold drinks, drop the beat

It started with nothing but hate
And now it's nothing but great
Because this town is built on what we all really want
And that's a lake with a beach

And we know that sometimes it's hard to keep breathing
But you can believe in fate, but the fact still remains
That you gotta work for what you're needing
'Cause see horses sweat, and men they perspire
But E. Cleveland grows like an urgent brush fire
Nothin fast or blunt that'll knock you down with the heat
It's subtle, it's community, you feel it street to street.
