You can talk about
Across the railroad tracks--
To me it's here
On this side of the tracks.

You can talk about
Up in Harlem--
To me it's here
In Harlem.

You can say
Jazz on the South Side--
To me it's hell
On the South Side:

Kitchenettes
With no heat
And garbage
In the halls.

Who're you, outsider?

Ask me who am I.
