Lyrics

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
