Yeah This is a national message
NASA worldwide
One Take the spotlight off me
take the spotlight off me
I remember
when the Cubans was first on Broadway
With dark and yellow gold
I was 11 years old
The inspiration was spread out
like a blanket ask em'
My discovery was
beyond the pick the
Lee suit and the afro
Now from the flair jeans
on 169th and College
Watching the dude
lean on one seven o
With a Kangol 'cross America
I saw the hippies cross
By Herc on Technique needles
syncopated time was on time
The same time as the Beatles
I was up there watching
James Brown's pockets
stuffed with Jolly
when the NFL had the Rams
in Los Angeles
Charles Finley in Oakland
And my kindergarten moment
was the beginning
'Til the Caribbean people
came to New York and sheepskin
was bought
The wind breaker
The building never fall down
They are the teeth
of the town spacious thoughts
they crush us up in they grind
The meat and bone of the mind
We gather here on the block
spacious thoughts
They key broke off in the lock
I'll meet you down by the well
I'll meet you down
by the well spacious thoughts
The balloon drops down at midnight
stranglin' the monkey
with the hands of a clock
Good can't help but do a little Evil
Evil can't help but
do a little Good
Who's that singing in the kitchen
by the stove
All aboard for the night train
they say the moon it smells
just like a cherry bomb
Come on home
all is forgiven
Everything costs
Deliver us from evil
and carry your own cross
The building never fall down
They are the teeth of the town
they crush us up in they grind
The meat and bone of the mind
We gather here on the block
They key broke off in the lock
I'll meet you down by the well
I'll meet you down by the well
The time gathered
with poppy seeds and grass
Growing nobody faster
than Jesse Owens
With everything
I'm seeing and knowing
London Heathrow
Walking through the airport
with green Pro Keds
Sixty niners from the designers
Tom McCann above the hill
Next to my man Lou Man
The cardigan sweaters
The still sell the New Eras
now at Jew Man
Ghetto Bhudda in the second set
Breaking out in a cold sweat
I'll meet you in the music
We meet in the music
those we never met
Keep dancing like
there's nobody watching
Everyone can win the toss
I may wander bit I am never lost
The building never fall down
They are the teeth of the town
spacious thoughts
they crush us up in they grind
The meat and bone of the mind
We gather here on the block
They key broke off in the lock
I'll meet you down by the well
I'll meet you down by the well
