I rule the streets of my hometown

My grade school days they're over now

Looking back, yeah I had my fun

But I been waiting all year for this day to come

Here we go it's the 4th of July

At 10 years old you never feel more alive

I'll never get caught I know my way around

Walked every shortcut in this suburban town

Brick of black cats and some cherry bombs

I light with the cigarettes I stole from my mom

Here we go it's the 4th of July

Let freedom ring with explosions in the sky

The doctor said it'll be ok

I'm lucky it turned out this way

1st degree and a burned t-shirt

I keep on telling them it doesn't really hurt

Here we go it's the 4th of July

My old school I can wave that goodbye

Here we go it's the 4th of July

It's getting late but I've got nothing but time
