I’ve lived here in Harlem my whole life
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Harlem
Now don’t get me wrong I love it here
But sometimes I wonder what else is out there
I have so many memories here – meeting my best friend, school, block parties, family barbecues
As I’m getting older I want to make new memories in new places
The only problem that I have with that is leaving Harlem
Harlem has a huge place in my heart
If I leave Harlem I’ll be like a puzzle with missing pieces
I can’t imagine how everything would be if I left
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Harlem
