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

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
