Everybody ready?
The story of a good old guy.
He was small and he was hungry
He had so many words to say
And he came in from off the corner
Where some man told him to stay
His head hung down,
his eyes was driftin'
But they saw everything so clear
He was cool and didn't have nothin'
Never showed a sign of fear
He didn't talk to very many,
he mostly kept to himself
He was shy and pretty funny,
stayed a while and then he left
A few days pass, was when I saw him
He nod to me, and I would smile
I think he asked me,
say boy what's happenin'
I said sit down and talk a while
Well, he sat down and he
started rappin'
Everything he said, every word was true
He told of people and their madness
Of the fools and the things they do
He said, some men have lived
and they learned through living
Some men have learned by saying true
You cannot judge by what
they're saying
It's real clear from what they do
Well, he got on up, said he felt silly
Said he'd been talkin'
just a little too long
He did not know his own self truly
Said his right could be my wrong
I didn't see him till a few years later
It was all different, but he'd not change
He was small, and he looked hungry
I was tired, and it's all so strange
You
