Lyrics
Hi my names lucy, and I'm seven years old
I rock a quiet smile, a quiet child
I speak through charcoal
I place purified carbon to the pavement and watch
my youthful understanding display itself with the chaulk
this sedimentary rock that I talk with has a soul of it's own
and that helps portray me as a whole, it's as apart of me as my bones
I speak in earth tones when I'm painting my tree's by the sea
the sunsets that I've seen, and the summers so green
it may seem complacent, but I don't need to dream cause I embrace this
beautiful scene gods deemed fit for me to wake with
I'm a sidewalk philosopher cautiously watchin fer
tragedy seekin helicopters and bent outta shape officers
I put em all to the pavement, create the canvas where I can make it
paint the pictures as I see em, not how you presume to take em
I've drawn a hundred moments in time, a thousand lovers entwined
a hundred thousand people just doin' their daily grind
I've seen a man shot on that corner, and that one I saw intervention divine
and that divine intervention turned into a divine inspiration of mine
I put the lines down carefully, warily, this one would have to be perfect
the experience had left me at a loss, and pictures are words for the wordless
I walked the length of my block,
dragging the chaulk on the edge of one side of the pavement
turned around when I'd reached the end, placed another perpendicular line
on the other side, for the same length I traced it
now I had my weeks work encapsulated inside this open box
left the two ends open in case the lives I'd drawn decided to take a walk
I'd realized that this game is open ended, and you can do as you please
right then I knew that I could do anything, or not, cause someone else
will do it if it's not me
I'd decided to make my destiny mine, so far I was doing exceptionally fine
realized that the life of luxury took alot, essentially time
and I'd decided that my time would be devoted to helping this concrete speak
it has a lot to say,
see how it never cracks even after being walked upon by so many feet
so my chaulk and me stayed with the curb, working and speaking in patient bliss
you should too sometime..
you'd be surprised, these streets are quite the conversationalist
