[Intro: Auggie Wren]
It’s my corner after all. I mean it’s just one little part of the world but… things take place there too just like everywhere else. That’s why I can never take a vacation I gotta be in my spot every morning at the same time. Every morning in the same spot at the same time
[Verse: Wiki]
Seward, Tompkins, Riverside
Jackie Robinson, Central
Marcus Garvey, Prospect
Saint Nick’s, all of ‘em
Brought a way to gain but I saw it
A place to start my day off without pain in my heart
Caught in a sеa of concrete, what thesе streets are
I need to see some trees even if these trees sparse
That’s why I went to the park on the bench
Monument, on one, top of the rock
Entrenched in thought, loungin’, get up for a walk
Dip in the fountain when it get too hot
Could be large like Prospect, small like Columbus Park
Watch sports, future prospects in Rutger park
Badminton with the Buddhist monks
Shit whatchu want? Might see a dime piece, bag it up
Or could just be bagging up dubs
Or all the above, there’s nothing more that I love
If any date ask what I planned for us?
Or any interviewer ask what my hobby was?
It was going to the park, is that too obvious?
A little cut escape from all the rush
Amongst the muck, don’t matter what you make
What it say on your paystub, you welcome to enter
As much as the ones with they nameplates engraved
On the benches, incentive, to not neglect it
Stay involved
But let’s make our way uptown
Change the pace for ‘em
Downtown ain't no hills and great lawns
It’s cooler up top
I could get used to the view that I got
My plot, goes through on my thoughts
And just sit, sip this juice that I got
The old PM, I almost forgot
It was only him when I first took this spot
And now it’s filled to the brim, already 4 o’clock?
Must’ve been here since 10 on the dot
Take off the watch, what you say
The days lost? I say I couldn’tve
Prayed for a more beautiful way to start this day off
… then just laying in the park
The park… where I started my shift
Where I clocked in, clocked out
Or… when I just slept on the bench
When I walked in, never walked out
It’s where I started my shift
Where I clocked in, clocked out
Or… when I slept on the bench
When I walked in, never walked out
