Brick Body Complex

Don't call me **** 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 description, 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 how or cold

Still here, if my body moves

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

They took us to 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 **** 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 you attention

Attention, attention, attention, attention

I promise you I will never fit in your description, 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 other name is 3-9-2-5

Make sure that my story's told

Sixteen or so stories high

Constructed 55 years ago

Winter weather yeah here we go

Chi Town in my building code

Stood here for ten million snows

Wind chilled is all in my bones

Indivisible in divisible kids and criminals, young and old

No radiator my dungeon cold

Thunder humming you something slow

Twenty down and just one to go

City say they gonna knock me down

Still wearing my iron hood

Told y'all you won't stop me now

Don't call me **** 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 description, 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

They took us to 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'd become

Don't call me **** 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 description, 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
