Apollo

my good friends lex and joey had come over to install ceiling fans as i was
finishing the song, so… what else to rhyme with malcom x, but lex?
you can’t take a subway to arthur ave in the bronx, but the bus ride’s worth
it for the mexican guys selling raw cherry stones on the half shell in front of
the fish markets… a friend laughed and said this is my redemption song… he was
probably high.
Three in the morning
Think I’ll walk down to Marcus Garvey and get some air
Shake off the warning
A couple of ghosts we could rustle and wake ‘round here
Kissing the goodnight
In my blood red cowboy shirt, my medicine
Whisper the bright lights
Chi Lites, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson
When my day’s begun
I ride my chariot around the sun
Like Apollo
Made a decision
A cold bodega tall boy on Malcom X
Sharing the vision
A dimebag disaster with my friend Lex
Love out of danger
My baby rides from Arthur Avenue
Swap it with strangers
Smack that wall child proving you are through
When my day’s begun
I ride my chariot around the sun
With the damage done
I ride my chariot around the sun
When the song is sung
I swing my baby’s love around the sun
Like Apollo
Wake up
To the rays of love
Get up
To the rays of love
Stand up
To the rays of love
Get up
To the rays of love
Like Apollo
