Brick Body Complex

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

There because the shelters, basement, hallways

Early morning Sunday, midnight, all day

Do what the adults say, don't engage in horseplay

People speak in tongues

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

My under name is 3-9-2-5

Make sure that my story's told

16 is so stories high

Constructed 55 years ago

Winter weather yeah here we go

Shy Town and my building cold

Stood here for ten million snows

Wind chilled is all in my bones

Indivisible, indivisible

Kids and criminals young and old

No radiator my dungeon coal

Done the hump, but use something slow

20 down and just one to go

City say they gonna knock me down

Still wearing my iron hood

Told ya'll won't stop me now

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

There because the shelters, basement, hallways

Early morning Sunday, midnight, all day

Do what the adults say, don't engage in horseplay

People speak in tongues

Momma's in the basement smokin' something

We grew up in hazes, ride checks, dungeons

Graduation lunches, tried to make us something

See what we've become

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
