Lyrics
Intro
It’s deeper than the six one seven
Roxbury
Yeah
Verse 1
Grew up on Malcolm X Boulevard
Jamaica Plain, where the bikes go hard
Mission Hill, high rises stare
One word
Home
Dudley got flows in the air
Mattapan calm, blue paint chipped
Dorchester, day one, true grip
Cambridge talk smart but the cuts still run
Fields Corner legends, sons on the run
Blue Hill Ave, bus stops, lights flashin’
Franklin Park, hoop dreams, cleats crashin’
Popes Hill, small blocks, hopes clashin’
Chorus
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Verse 2
Hyde Park smooth, old heads talk shop
South End hustle, potholes never stop
Charlestown grit, never backin’ down
Bowdoin-Geneva, watched truth go round
D Street, cold blocks, cover up scars
Eastie fly fade, street art, stars
Roslindale calm but the nights get loud
Uphams Corner, still standin’, proud
Chinatown lights, serve late, don’t sleep
Fields covered in secrets you keep
Copley Square rich, mind never cheap
One city, every corner we keep
Lost ones, legends never really leave
Chorus
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Bridge
Maybe I’m Dudley, maybe I’m Mattapan
Maybe I’m Dot Ave, maybe I’m Ashmont hands
Maybe I’m Warren Street, maybe I’m Grove Hall
Maybe I’m Boston, maybe I’m all
Verse 3
Running from the T station, cold wind sharp
Park Street late, let my name leave a mark
Flats in Southie, bricks built tough
No love lost in the nights so rough
Talbot Ave, Warren, through rain and storms
From Bunker Hill echoes to old brownstones
Codman Square care—kids fight for more
Eggleston breath, history, heart stays raw
Mission Hill memories, breathe for the lost
In every block, a price, every lesson, a cost
Lineage, struggle, proud of where I’m from
Boston blood, all hoods, we one
Chorus
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Boston built me, every brick I know
Roxbury roots, all the pride I show
Name every hood, yeah, we everywhere
From north to south, yeah, we all still here
Outro
All hoods, one city
Roxbury anthem
Forever Boston
