Oldham Era
Common Market

“been left of center ever since, uh, i been left centerfield

winter still remind me of my pop’s passin’

a mass of them pray and suddenly stop askin’

admin say ‘ma’am, your son is not passin”

excel at self-expression, my impression felt

sizable welt left on my question, mark the section of the bible belt

rally roots established in a baptist church

first act of ‘ism’ was against that forbidden thirst

thought it odd - all the men in my biological bottle fed

god in the women, the devil cause of my father’s death

fresh clay, shaped the way they want me up in sunday school

formin’ resume the morn of monday, too

pioneers of integration with no relation to race, from the

earliest days they merged clergy and state

serve as deacon do a teacher; principal as a pastor

every lesson prepped for the test in the hereafter

best to have the fear of the master in your heart of hearts

i tried reasoning and seen things fall apart

carved outta henry - how befitting, ‘give me liberty’

or else an alternative to dwellin’ with the merciless

the line drawn around the county i have found to be

confining - aint no bounties in the boundary

we ’bout to secede…

a colonel by default, i never fought for the continentals


though my war of independence bore some resemblance

they trynna make me do like them - move right then

attune my mentals, broke pencil - spoke through my pen

kinetically set it, gesture affect a ripple

imprudent, for this student body is ill and crippled

i’ll walk on ‘em, in partin’ ‘yall gon’ miss me when i’m gone’

now long forgotten, they pawned my saga for a song

the alarm is armed - guards on watch, not one’ll abscond the box again

the common anomaly of protestants

i lost to the sovereign, the dominant still holdin’ office

glowin’ over that oldham era’s a golden aura

growin’ under that old america’s something strange

bubblin’ to break-point range - awaken, take the reins!

oh, there he goes again - broken and soberin’

his story told all over, the walls closin’ in

the line drawn around the county i have found to be

confining, aint no bounties in the boundary

we ’bout to secede…

i’ve gone across the country, what you want from me

to die of hunger for the punditry?

you’ll never succeed…nah, you’ll never succeed.”
