vanny goodfella - penny candy كلمات أغنية

intro
dedicated to the corner of chandler and saint george
rest in peace to the legends… mr. clee, mr. lee, mrs. williams
and momma… you kept the soul of linden alive
we didn’t have much, but we had a pocket full of copper and a heart full of dreams
check it

verse 1
i’m back in linden, pushin’ carts for a couple cents
scourin’ the pavement, lookin’ for the dividends
before the world got heavy, before the bills wеre due
i was at the bodеga, plannin’ what i’m ‘bout to chew
handful of copper, mrs. williams at the glass
“whatcha want today, baby?”—yeah, she had the class
give me a couple tootsie rolls, the first to ever wrap it
a bit_o_honey for the soul, you know i gotta tap it
mary janes sticky, molasses on the tongue
when the block was our kingdom and we were forever young

chorus
oh, take me back to the penny candy days
where the summer sun would linger in a purple haze
from the now and laters to the fireb_lls heat
life was simple, life was sugar, life was oh so sweet
on chandler ave, yeah, we felt like kings
with a pocket full of pennies and the joy it brings
(penny candy… so sweet… yeah)
verse 2
yeah, i’m talkin’ nik_l_nips, bite the top, drink the juice
pixy stix powder got the energy loose
i got the chocolate gold money wrapped in foil, lookin’ wealthy
eating sugar babies like they’re actually healthy
i’m a jawbreaker soldier, layers of the grind
lemonheads and alexander the grape on my mind
boston baked beans, yeah, we caught the red eye
bazooka joe comics, tellin’ me how to get by
i’m wearing candy necklaces like they’re 24_karat
if the flavor’s too good, you know i’m gonna share it

bridge
but the shop doors are closed now, the legends went to rest
mr. clee and mr. lee, they truly were the best
st. george ave don’t feel the same without the light
of a neighborhood sanctuary in the middle of the night
they held us down through the winters and the heat
the heartbeat of the jersey, the soul of the street

verse 3
gummy worms, gummy bears, mike & ikes in the air
dots on the paper strip, we didn’t have a care
root beer barrels rolling, coconut slices too
red hots in the palm, sticking like glue
smarties by the roll, jolly ranchers in the cheek
i’d trade a whole dollar just to hear the floorboard creak
in that little candy house where the love was always free
rest in peace to the icons who raised a g like me
outro
yeah
life just ain’t the same without y’all
no more scr_ping for pennies… but i’d give it all back
just for one more summer on chandler ave
one more now and later
linden, new jersey… we remember
goodfella… signing out
(fade out with the sound of a shop bell ringing and children laughing)
