The Common Street

Words can enumerate my knowledge.

Words will not gain my knowledge.

 

It's The Common Stree

that will get me there.

It's The Common Street 

that will have me fair.

 

Words will get me 

a piece of paper.

But words on a paper

ain't gonna give me 

The Street.

 

The Director gave me 

Life.

They did not give me 

A Leaf.

 

Words have apported 

My goals.

Words will never stymie 

My actions.

 

I am the words you 

See.
