Southbound 280 - Mike Park[00:00:00]
Southbound 280 I travel towards Race St[00:00:21]
Traffic keeps me from the church[00:00:26]
Where I plan to play games with others[00:00:28]
Whose names I can't follow[00:00:32]
But faces stick to me[00:00:34]
Stronger then rice does that mom made when I was in school[00:00:37]
Back to the church that is sitting on Race St[00:00:42]
I wait to play games with 9 others[00:00:46]
A game that we learned as young children[00:00:50]
But products have taught us[00:00:53]
That winning is better then fun as young children[00:00:55]
And scuffling wins in the end[00:01:00]
Play nice[00:01:32]
The teacher in school gave us instructions[00:01:34]
But children grow up to be cowboys[00:01:37]
Who like to watch cattle be tortured for fun entertainment[00:01:41]
On this day a game turns to fighting a black man[00:01:46]
Landing on my upper lip[00:01:51]
Formed from some tissue[00:02:23]
I still feel a lump from where fist turns to a weapon[00:02:25]
On this day I wonder how fighting wins[00:02:30]
Over a peace train[00:02:33]
A song with a vision much stronger[00:02:36]
Than my will could ask for[00:02:39]
Lying here useless on this day[00:02:42]
Where skies are much bluer than oceans[00:02:45]
And mountains are closer than most things[00:02:49]
But I choose a blanket of warmth and a screen[00:02:52]
That could never fight back my thoughts are[00:02:56]
Including the church that is sitting on Race St today[00:03:00]
