Black Rock > 34th & 8th

Well on that black rock where I spend my time
Writing down memories, I'm writing my rhyme
Thinking about what's right or wrong
On the black rock where I like to go
After a long night coming home from my show
And that's where I wrote my songs all day long the black rock
Maryland that is, yeah

Well sometimes, well I just look around
To take in that feeling coming out from that ground
Well that's just something I do sometimes, yeah yeah yeah
And then I, I just come out my door
To take in that wind coming off of my shore
And that's just what we're doing tonight, yeah

On the black rock where I spend my time
Writing down memories, I'm writing my rhyme
Thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock where I like to go
After a long night coming home from my show
That's where I wrote my song, the day long, the black rock, yeah yeah
Montgomery County, go

When you are on your own
Not speaking out is like fighting alone
And that is the worst damn way we can fight
When you are scared no more
Reach your hand out, come to my door
And that's just what we're doing tonight, yeah

On the black rock where I spend my time
Writing down memories, I'm writing my rhyme
Thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock where I like to go
After a long night coming home from that show
That's where I wrote my life, the day long, the black rock, yeah

One, maybe two, three, four, five years ago till today
Surrounded by many but many nights spent all alone
I know that it sounds like complaining
You can trust me, I do it all the time
You can run just as fast as you want to but you're stuck with yourself all the time
I can run as fast as I want to but I'm stuck inside my mind
So I do with it what I'm able, I might not
I'm getting kinda tired television man
Don't tell me who to love,
Don't tell me who to hate,
I'd rather live my life blind, not see a thing at all
This color, it confuse me all the time
That's why in my dream,
I live it mighty good
I'm a prince. I'm a king. I'm a Warrior.
And I'm doing things right, all the time
So this one night I found an old man sitting on a big black rock
Got a beard grown down to his knees,
Wisdom he spoke, knowledge he breathed.
I asked him "What's your name?"
He said, "I'm old man time"

And my son, well I've been waiting for you so long
Well I can see that you're in pain
Well then I know that there's something wrong
I know that you have been angry
I know that you've seen hate
But you got to dig deep to the Heaven above
Sit, learn, and create.
You gotta lose all your anger, lose all your hate
It ain't gonna work no more
I wish the world was run by love and absolutely nothing more
I laid down all my pain
I got rid of my hate
And now I'm just chillin' on a big black rock for the rest of my life
This is where I'll stay
We all have a black rock in our mind
And I go there all the time
It's the Black Rock
