Bronx Poem |
I was born in the Bronx on a strong day |
I guess you can say |
The beat in the street, the streetcar sound |
The singin' in the moonlight, the pure light |
The harmony’s tight |
Informed we can fight |
We got heart |
And for |
Yo, when I’m inside a song |
I’m strong, I can’t go wrong, It’s where I belong |
Come along, it’s good, it’s bad |
Who said it was perfect |
Only God is perfect |
Only God is good |
Man He blessed me beyond my wildest dreams |
I can sing from the highest mountain |
I can sing from the highest rooftop |
I’m talkin' life, I’m talkin' beauty |
Truth, love, hate, scammin', lyin', dyin' |
Yo, life is hard |
But life is the art |
It’s better to be clean than to be cluttered |
Clean of soul, that is |
My God is the Creator, not a dictator |
He’s the life-giving lover |
My Father, no other, my brother, my best friend |
Never lied to me, even died for me |
Life is good |
We’re talkin' you |
We’re talkin' sweet Sue |
We’re talkin' virtue |
We’re talkin' faith, hope, love, wisdom |
Courage, honesty, patience |
Then there’s blue skies |
There’s miracles |
There’s families and babies and crazies |
Changes you won’t believe |
I got aces up my sleeve |
And God keeps blessin' me |
In spite of me |
He’s the best |
If I didn’t know me I’d be impressed |
I don’t wanna underestimate what He can do in my life |
He brought me you in my life |
He brought me through all this strife |
Everybody here, we’ve been through it all |
Real joy, closeness, distance, journey, the ups, the downs |
The issues, the tissues, the drugs, the thugs, the drinkin', the stinkin' |
thinkin' |
Throw up, grow up |
Tears, fears, torn, mourn, reborn |
Yo! |
Hallelujah! |
I’ve never been the same, took away my shame |
I used to play the blame game |
How lame |
Man I got a wife who drives me sane |
Here I am authentic, genuine, a truth-teller, no bullshit |
Don’t have a fit |
God’s on His throne |
He’s in control |
Heroes, villains, king, queens, saints, sinners |
James Dean, Norma Jean, mmm vanilla ice cream |
Elvis, Buddy, Hank |
Honky-tonk blues guitars, cars, bars |
Yo! |
Stand proud, rock around |
Do-wop, be-bop, rock-and-roll, good for the soul |
The Yankees, jfk |
I did it my way, rock and roll is here to stay |
Ain’t that the truth |
Martin Luther King |
Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don’t be mean |
I have a dream, he paid his dues, king of the delta blues |
Elvis Aaron Presley played that thing |
Rock and roll king |
I ride with the King of kings |
He brought me through, thanks to you, and you and you |
Man I’m glad we’ve got each other |
No doubt about that, that’s where it’s at |
With great love and affection |
The kid from the Bronx |
Rave on |
