Some of us live in big white houses
some of us live in small
some of our names are written on blackboards
some are written on walls.
Some of our daddies work in factories
some of them stand in line
some of our daddies buy us marbles
some of them just buy wine.
But at night you can’t tell Sunday suits
from tattered overalls
then we’re only children
children one and all.
Some of us take our lunch in boxes
some in paper sacks
some of us kids join in the laughter
some hear it at our backs.
Some of our mothers sew fine linen
some can’t sew a stitch
some of our mothers dress up poorly
some of them dress up rich.
But at night you can’t tell party dresses
from hand-me-downs too small
then we’re only children
children one and all.
Some of us learn our lessons poorly
some of us learn them well
some of us find an earthly heaven
some of us live in hell.
Some of us go right on a-preachin’
without making too much sense
some of us hide behind the wall
some behind a fence.
But at night you can’t tell picket fences
from bricks that tower tall
then we’re only children
children one and all.
Some of us grow up tall and handsome
some of us grow up plain
some of us own the world in ransom
some of us just our name.
Some of our people die in misery
some of them die in peace
some of our people die for nothing
but dying doesn’t cease.
And at night you can’t tell fancy coffins
from boxes in the hall
then we’re only children
children one and all
children, children, children one and all...

Kickin' it from Jerz
Awhile back I heard the Hood Internet vs Chicago mashup album, being from the Chi I loved the crap out of it. I've been living in New Jersey for almost a decade now and wanted to do a similar thing for my other home state. Styles used are a lot more diverse than the Hood's look, hiphop house, funk, jazz, rock, ska, doo wop, little of everything. Big ups all Garden Stations! Please enjoy and feel free to share!

dylan
Painted this on the wall where Delve and I had done the Easter collab in Flemington, NJ. The owners of the garage it's on the back of asked me to keep it down, that they were getting complaints that it looked too much like "graffiti" lol Which is halarious to me because I get nothing but ish from the graf community about not being "graf" enough. Saw this quote on the net from Bob Dylan, which is perfectly what I wanted to say to both sides and all viewers..."All I can do is be who I am, whoever that is" Throughout my life the man has constantly provided me with that kind of exact sentiment of my own emotions. thanks Bob!
Used the process footage to make a video for a mashup I did a while back, check it...

Typical Mashups
Both Qwel and Denizen Cane are from the group Typical Cats from Chicago, IL. Put the flow to some funk in both cases and it's perfect to me!
