Character Is Me
The Character is Me
I remember sitting on the roof top Theorizing til my head was sore Climbing over fallen tree limbs checking What the Mississippi swept ashore A young whippersnapper on a street Corner hollering we gotta end the war Now I be, this character is me A bit of all of the things I've been before
Skinned knee shorty with a coffee can Hunting slimy creatures in the mud and the dirt For what it's worth I let 'em go at the request of ma dukes Almost caught a snake once, last second I got spooked Slithering, shaky, I stay fidgetin Use to pier jump into polluted Lake Michigan Now, I'm hanging off a bridge 40 feet higher Above a the murky water, shit I thought I'd be wiser, nah Tiddlywinks and newspaper tug boats At 27 I be singing all my love notes I've been afraid of rejection since back in the day Prolly why I didn't ask her to stay I quit smoking and then, I started smoking again I gotta find a different way to learn to cope with the bends Extend a hand to foe, bumping folk tunes and wu tang Lost my hops but still got a nasty hoop game

I am just a drop of rain Falling to the quiet stream The growing rivulet that'll Wash it all away, wash it all away
I am just a grain of sand Seated by the ocean blue On the golden beach that Sprawls across the way, sprawls across the way
I am just a single brick In a wall that towers high The edifice that you can See from far away, see far away
I am just a lonely star Burning in a crowded sky On the night that stunned the world All across the way, all across the way
