Radio K stickers dot my town, and I still see Brother Ali ones all around, photos and promos on telephone poles, fliers and advertisements in the wind blow slow, go into stores, swappin' loot for happiness, whether music or movies or food in packages, ear buds drown out sounds surrounding, MP3's shield me during outings, crowds in the thousands, walkin' around in a city of snowfall that's so tall it's astoundin', and Minnesota, the only place that I've seen, that can go from snow to 80 degrees in the length of a week and back to snow again, think I'll go ahead and keep my jacket out the closet and put my shorts on hold again, a hometown bulletin, this is where I'm from, Minneapolis, Minnesota, America, uh
