The third single off the upcoming album, TRIPLE BYPASS:UNDER ANESTHESIA, 'ELM STREET' is a smooth, melodic, heartfelt ode to the artist's first home, Elm Street in Asheboro, NC.
This will be Ty Bru's first solo album in ten years, completely produced by Virginia legend Poe Mack. A perfect blend of vintage Ty Bru mixed with a mature, more versatile Ty Bru.
lyrics
I remember elm street
the first place I would call my home
I remember elm street
just a young knucklehead moving along
I remember elm street
gather round, please pull up a chair
the memories of my childhood full in the air
whether I’m fully impaired or fully aware
my heart strings sing, keep pulling me there
stay on the back of my mind like the hoodie I wear
find myself driving through it feels good when I’m there
when I wanna just remember I feel I could with a stare
drive slow, chief gas and I look over there
where the Masseys used to live, it’s all good over there
the basement always popping we was cooking in there
I got a little older, dates, I took them in there
remember watching leprechaun in the hood over there
Jokers 3 new years eve, we through our hood in the air
talking shit about the fam, I straight pull out some hair
learned that from watching Shonuff bully and tear
a friendship with the street I understood that its rare
elm street
the first place I would call my home
I remember elm street
just a young knucklehead moving along
I remember elm street
that’s where my heart started beating at
628 sometimes all I see is that
little kid I used to be and that
make me wanna hop in the whip because I’m needing that
feeling, appealing and underneath the rap
my heart squealing, reeling a brief attack
search for healing I’m peeling my secret stash
revealing a whole feeling to repeat the past
searching for some moments that I need to last
front yard memories of my bare feet in grass
sitting back on the front step we would laugh
at the neighbors when their mom cold beat their ass
I used to go climb in the trees out back
but careful by the creek where the tweakers at
by the church, where the heat was at
help me tell the whole world what street is that
elm street
the first place I would call my home
I remember elm street
just a young knucklehead moving along
I remember elm street
And ever since day 1 this was sacred
I still hear the basketball echo off the pavement
football flying in the backyard, we racing
to see who would get there first, s burst of chasing
find myself with the Masseys and the Aikens
little kids in the street roller skating
linked with the Reids and the Foxs on location
plus Karlos would come down, no hesitation
before that, elm was my family’s motivation
pops started fixing cars up in the basement
getting good under the hood, no complaining
grinding with a plan, the man was staying patient
time to understand & expand his occupation
made a couple payments, paid off a major statement
moved away from elm, this songs my dedication
to the first years of my life, my inspiration
elm street
A.S.H.E.B.O.R.O.
the first place I would call my home
I remember elm street
A.S.H.E.B.O.R.O.
just a young knucklehead moving along
its not a big part of my city,
but it’s the heart of me really.
