Ocean Beats
The Green Bridge
[Chorus: blu beard]
Yo, we was never really rich
We came from the ditch
Always doing dumb shit on the green bridge
We just a bunch of kids, yeah
We just a bunch of kids, yeah
[Verse 1: Buddy Alex]
Ain't it nice
One last Burlington night
Took out the bikes
Got a flat went back to Fassel Ave
Good times
Been thinking back, a little wistfully
We reminiscing on the friendships history
Like that time I broke the big family picture frame
Must have had one to many living room baseball games
But hey, before the days of smoking jays
We got our stress out throwing exercise balls at homies face
Wether in the basement, or the backyard
We’re doing stupid characters and bits laughing hard
Got in trouble tryna show you guys Jurassic Park
But always had AFV on Fridays after dark
Some might say that shitty art lit the spark
Make some funny vids, maybe spit some bars
Since way back when 2010
Never gave a fuck
Even if we suck
Just know we never giving up and it's us
[Verse 2: PJ Martian]
Biking down with SF all the way to Spencer Smith
Feeling like young kids who don't give a shit
A lot has happened since 1996
So many memories that stick
Are filled with these people that I’m still with
They my brothers like Drake and Josh
Running round the backyard with our dog
Learning how to draw
Watching SpongeBob
And those messaged taught me so many lessons
In my adolescence it was a blessing
I was always in the present cause I loved every second
Pushed around on the swings pretended we had wings
So carefree while doing our own thing
Or when I was four and adored dinosaurs
Running from Carnivores
With my best friend next door
Dream of scuba-diving on the ocean floor
Or peaking at my siblings through the screen door
There was nothing more I could ask for
I remember my first plastic guitar
Didn't know I couldn't sing so I was singing from the heart
Didn't really care about making a mark
With blu beard on drums just having fun
Guitarist and a drummer
We're the summer children of the suburbs
Having Pokemon battles using tackle
Now looking back retroactively and baffled
Really feels like we won the raffle
We spend our days watching cartoons
I still have our old Gamecube
Acting like fools in Grandma's pool
Or having Yu-Gi-Oh duels
I wanna rewind these days like VHS tapes
All these games that we made and played
No dress rehearsal we'd make them up as we go
Woah, woah, woah, controlled chaos in the shadows
I wanted to write a book and make a TV show
We were playing kings of our neighbourhood on top of our thrones
That was our home, eating ice cream cones
I never broken a bone, sticks and stones
The only world that existed was the one we'd known
Ha, ain’t it funny how I couldn’t wait to be grown though
I got my bike stolen while chilling under a bridge
Reminiscing when we were kids playing in a ditch
[Chorus: blu beard]
Yo, we was never really rich
We came from the ditch
Always doing dumb shit on the green bridge
We just a bunch of kids, yeah
We just a bunch of kids, yeah
[Verse 3: blu beard]
Back in the old days
Every day felt like a Saturday
Always played games that we made
Creating shit way before the age of 8
Like Ray and Shell
Hoped our imaginations wouldn't slip away
Only time would tell
Im just reach the same high I did bouncing on the trampoline
The gang knows what I mean
I used to balance on a beam in gymnastics
Josh was SpongeBob, Alex Squidward, I was Patrick
Haven’t read any books since Scholastic Book fairs
Didn't take too many risks I wasn't triple dog dared
House used to be filled with dog hair
Throwing toys down the stairs
Got into a few fights we weren't playing fair
But everything was alright in that summer air
It all changed when I picked up that camera
Made some dumb ass videos and then we made a channel
Playing THUG 2, act a fool like Bam Margera
Tryna see the bigger picture y’all still looking at the mother fucking panorama
Remember Braden took my Solrock card
Got my soul rocked hard
But I made it this far
I wonder where he is know
Maybe he's still across the street
Maybe he left town
Maybe we should meet
I dont know, these the things I think when I'm tryna sleep
Made four seasons of a show you'll never see
Shoutout my mentors and shoutout my team
SuperFinger turn it up to eleven I'm living in a dream
Fucked with Finger Eleven since 7 it's...
Used to hit the streets
Now we hit the stu
Make sure to still go out and smoke a bowl or two with the crew
Biking downtown feel invincible
Feeling like some criminals
We ain't all brothers but we looking identical
Three white dudes with bad beards and glasses
Been through so much through the years
Picked up some bad habits
It was bound to happen
Three creatives burnt out, so we started rapping
Look what happened
My friends making music, I could never imagine
Don't wanna talk about the future this songs set in the past tense
Can't help but think what will happen when I move away
Idk, all I know is SF gang forever man we here to stay
We just a bunch of kids
Always doing dumb shit on the green bridge
We just a bunch of kids, yeah, yeah
We just a bunch of kids, yeah, yeah
