Taxi Cab

Unsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it now
You stand this close to me
Like the future was suppose to be
In the eyes of the Grocery
In the block uptown.

I remember
Remember well
But if I forgotten
Could you tell.

In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You said baby we don't speak of that
Like a real aristocrat.

Compound to compound
Lazy and safe
(Wanting leave it)?
(Born in two way)?
When the taxi door was open wide
I pretended I was horrified
By the uniform clothes outside
Of the court yard gate.

You're not a victim
But neither am I
Nostalgic for garbage
Desperate for time
I could blame it on your mother's head
Or the colors that you father wears
But I know that I was never fair
You were always fine.

Unsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it now
You stand this close to me
Like the future was suppose to be
In the eyes of the Grocery
In the blocks uptown.

I remember
Remember it well
But if I forgotten
Would you tell.

In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You were standing on another track
Like a real aristocrat.
