Brick Body Complex - Open Mike Eagle

Don’t call me nigga or rapper

My motherfucking name is Michael Eagle, I’m sovereign

I’m from a line of ghetto superheroes, I holla

I got something to bring to your attention, attention, attention, attention,

attention

I promise you I will never fit in your descriptions, I’m giant

Don’t let nobody tell you nothing different, they lyin'

A giant and my body is a building, a building, a building, a building

No services underground

No sound, when I’m calling home

City broken my brothers down

Now I’m standing here all alone

Sun weathered my monochrome

My hollow bones David Bowie told me I’m not alone

I’m overgrown, but these model homes

Still here, if it’s hot or cold

Still here, if my body move

Still standing on Cottage Grove

Still do what I gotta do

Stone tablet on stone tablet

I’m old granite, I’m not a tomb

Y’all can move this whole planet

I’ll hold fast and I follow through

I promise you
