shoe city of champions

wind blows street sand
and he's got a cut on his left hand 
him the pen and don't say when he can flow
when they don't even know
which end is up or down
chillin' right here in the shoe town
or city which ever they choose
so many dunkin donuts 
and places to buy booze
not many shoes 
stores still around
and as far as champions 
only the local kind found
himself on route 24
don't know where else to go
anymore of this same old place
can't go anywhere and not know a face
in a new direction make the correction
leads to resurrection of the self 
and who he might be open 
all his eyes with third eye vision sight see
a peaceful end to frustration
sudden blue lights
license and registration
merely a profile if you don't fit the mold
no discrimination between young and old
a new brand of a stone illusion
same state of near confusion
still balanced toes right on the edge
push him harder won't fall from the ledge
and into dark night only two floors up
he has had enough but give him another cup
for the road he sits pigeon toed
on the road and then it snowed
never as much as they say
anyway more days off for kids to play
remember then to way back when
he is fine where he is at no need to do it again
only dreaming no sights set on making millions
no need got it all living in the shoe city of champions...
