Don’tcha Wanna Be (My Neighbor) Lyrics

[Hook: Colin Monroe]
Welcome to the world that I'm from!
Baby do you wanna be my neighbor?
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?

They say that were you're going ain't no ways where you're from
Baby someday you'll be my neighbor
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?
My neighbor

[Verse 1: Asher Roth]
Yo, welcome to Morrisville P.A about 25 minutes north of Phil-Ay
Where I was born and raised and I learned my ways
Yo, the Morrisville pool, man those were the days
With the birds and the trees and the nice summer breeze
When you're bare feet, careful don't step on the bees
And center field from my little league team
Third place in the state was a pretty big thing
At sixteen I was cut from JV so I had to figure out what I'd do in my free time
Although meanwhile I would hang out with Footy and I'd freestyle
On a beat I'll get funky for money
Yeah buddy, I'm a budding Dog Funny
Unlike the rest of developments
I was arrested development
The speech was incredible on Mr. Wendal
And since then I blend with the pencil
I guess on August, 11th
The stars were aligned in the Heavens, sparked on a crescent

Moon on a Tuesday we are evolving, trust me it's proven
It's called science
Speaking my mind ain't a crime, especially if I'm not lying
[Hook: Colin Monroe]
Welcome to the world that I'm from!
Baby do you wanna be my neighbor?
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?

They say that were you're going ain't no ways where you're from
Baby someday you'll be my neighbor
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?
My neighbor

[Verse 2: Nottz]
Let me take it back where the hell I'm from
Norfolk, V.A, a hop, skip, and a jump from the beach man
Two blocks where the bums stay
About five houses down where those boys slang ye (Ayyyy)
Neighborhood called Meadowbrook
6829 to call for a silverwood
Right between Tannons Creek and Reverwood
I love where a grew up, bud
Lot of should'a, could'a, would'a
Dude that were do-gooders, now they up to no good
Welcome to Hollyhood
Where people still tryna turn a forty ounce bottle up
Nothing but E&J, no purple in a cup
Dude in his late forties selling the green stuff
Started back as a young buck
Dudes still backing up even as an old fuck
'Round here we grind harder than Osama bitch
Gotta think of them plus ways to get that rich
Scratch, [?] give a fuck what they hitting for
Let me tell you what I'm wishing for
For you to funk this and crash your truck
And, let me tell you what I'm hitting for
For the whole world to see the boy go nuts
[Hook: Colin Monroe]
Welcome to the world that I'm from!
Baby do you wanna be my neighbor?
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?

They say that were you're going ain't no ways where you're from
Baby someday you'll be my neighbor
Don't you wanna be my neighbor?
My neighbor
