matthew brandon - "old enough" lyrics

[intro – matthew]

it’s raining broken gl-ss like it make you dab!
when the windows explode jetting jet black smoke that’s a moment of jet lag
it was american lines, all over the airwaves, and radio airtime
the first to respond
firefighters and cops in and out of the building just trying to get a response!
[bridge – (telephone fx) matthew]

the second towers is losing power
the top floors is covered in dust, thicker than flour
we’ve been in the building much longer than for an hour
the room is burning up and the screaming is getting louder
going through the wire like running it through a router
breath i been running outta
time i been running outta
battery im running outta!
i don’t think i’m make it outta…
here! here!

[verse i – matthew]

like the bomb plot back in 93
i was pre-natal, /
my umbilical cord tv cable
through apartments walls
where they would feed cables
with the ring staples
it was y2k and a year later
and we were only pre-teenagers
the sky scr-pers at the trade centers
fell great lengths into faint embers…
but i remember that day in september
flight delays, and half days from our lessons
live replays of both planes on the airwaves-
downtown while the dust settled in the airsp-ce
at a fair pace!
blocking entrance to the staircase!
no lines running in the subways!
running on foot in a rat race!

[bridge – matthew]

it’s raining broken gl-ss like it make you dab!
when the windows explode jetting jet black smoke
that’s a moment of jet lag
it was american lines, all over the airwaves, and radio airtime
the first to respond firefighters and cops
in and out of the building just trying to get a response like!

[hook – matthew]

nine one-one!
operator nine-one-one!
if i put my life on the line and it’s occupied pick me up!
we live to never forget
what sacrifice represents
tell the kids, they were not old enough
i was nine
(i was nine, x4)
eleven
(i was nine, x3)
eleven
(– background –)
9-1-1, operator 9-1-1
if i put my life on the line
and it’s occupied pick me up!

[verse ii – matthew]

word!
its imperative you don’t be un-american
we just act like we’re patriots, but it’s tarnished our heritage
this carnage we leverage, over lands we descended in
it’s been 15 years since then we swore in two presidents!
but we ain’t seen dividends, we ain’t see any evidence
for those nuclear weapons homeland security evidenced!
yo we we’re dead against it!
no answers for our questions!
but we stabilized our presence and we escalated tensions!
with illegal detentions and laws that we’ve been stretching, that stench is of habeus of corpus being suspended
they’re pulling the wool, over our eyes
wolfs in sheep clothing who want us to lie!
but i ain’t afraid, it’s time to be brave
the memory inside my mind is alive!

[bridge ii – matthew]

[hook ii – matthew]

nine one-one
operator nine-one-one
if i put my life on the line and it’s occupied pick me up
we live to never forget
what sacrifice represents
tell the kids, they were not old enough
i was nine
(i was nine,x4)
eleven
(i was nine x3)
eleven
