we went from...

ashy to classy...
we went from slapping the shit to riding the magic carpet together
we went from showing to proving
how to do it or that we can do it
we went from walking up to riding up
we were so happy to make it just a few steps up the mountain
we went from ms to ma'am you look like you are having fun
knowing their names is not the same as knowing their name
we went from 9 or 10 to 6 kids back there and 1 up here ms kenna
we went from giving up to having to be dragged off to one more run last run
we walked all the way to the top (a few more steps up the hill)
we went from mountains to molehills
we went from JDC sandwiches to i thought we was getting tenders and fries but the chili is pretty good
we went from i just don't want to fall to i want to flip, no i did a flip
we went from day one to day ones
those that been knowing each other since like five months because that's my brother, the longest being 1 year
i live across the alley from them
i live down there
i live by you
Jeremiah and Jeremiah
I showed y'all all my former studios
we drove around the block an extra time
because you said you were enjoying the conversation
we went from house to house
because y'all live right by me
we went from Northside to East almost to the river - the St. Croix 
we went there and back and then up and down
our path behind us, we went from strangers to ops to siblings who expect the utmost loyalty
we went from students to teachers to students to teachers
we left with our keys
we left with our dignity
we left bumping war songs, songs full of so much anger we almost got the van flipped
and we sang and sang
and told each other what it all meant
made it back safe over North
classy as ever
