If Kennerly Street Could Talk,
It would tell of its past.
How people, unruly people, abused its beauty and how it could not last.
If Kennerly Street Could Talk,
It would sing a song of hurt and cry tears of sorrow,
searching for a new beginning, as if there is no tomorrow.
If Kennerly Street Could Talk,
It would tell you of all its wonders
and how it was taken advantage of, through drugs and drive-bys.
If Kennerly Street Could Talk.
