Sivion - Who Am I
(from the album Spring of the Songbird)
© copyright 2006, Hip Hop IS Music

CHORUS 1:
Who am I, a man with a positive plan
Who am I is a stand for the carpenter’s land
I am who the same one that mingles with you
I pray this song will be the one that lingers with you
Cuz there’s more to this emcee that just hip hop
There’s more to the streets than the cars that stop
You gotta pull back the layers to reveal the plot
You gotta look past the surface just to see what we got

FREDDIE BRUNO:
Maintain Freddie doing the dang thing
Insane rap’s Coltrane the heads bang what we sang
Hard to move like a grape stain, Sivion songbird here to shake you’re A-frame
Who got lyrics to go like these?
And who got lyrics to show MC’s
How to saddle up, ride a beat, taking on your whole fleet
Start beef and we’ll serve it up on whole wheat
No sleep for the weary fury Judah fist
Pugilist with the linguist of a novelist
Obelisk 9 to 5 worker and a pacifist
Even wavelab and sound forge couldn’t master this
Here’s piece of my heart, MC’s got passion for the people like the minister grieves
Divinity breathes through me like the wind on the leaves
There’s more than meets the eye, homie, hope it’s what you receive

CHORUS 1

SIVION:
So just stop, it’s my turn to rock the spot
Cuz Deepspace smuggle grace when we’re calling the shots
Bring this bounty to your block though we’ve never been caught
We figured out your whole steez like connecting the dots
There’s so much more to this emcee than just hip hop
It might shock the hard rocks just to know what we got
You can drop it in a box, it’ll increase your stock price
Got mics, don’t forget to check your clock twice
That’s right I’m so precise though this life I lead will decrease, set me free to be Christ-like
God’s light can illuminate the dark night
Love conquers all after silly bar fights
You claim this butterfly’s supposed to be a star, right
Gotta make some cheddar ‘fore you ever keep your car tight
Who am I, an open canvas in God’s sight
Hand this vessel to Christ before I rock mics

CHORUS 2:
Who am I, a man with a positive stand
Who am I is a stand for the carpenter’s land
I am who the same one that mingles with you
I pray this song will be the one that lingers with you
Cuz there’s more to this emcee that just hip hop
There’s more to the streets than the cars that stop
You gotta pull back the layers to reveal the plot
You gotta look past the surface just to see what we got

PLAYDOUGH:
Much more than Grammy’s and cameos with A-Listers I stand below to sit up
And pay some attention to mention
Spirit gotta grow, mine’s inching
Shine intervention, see past the wrong words
It’s Deepspace singing soul with the songbirds
Springtime in the meantime, see mine fertile
While I feed mine hurdles to the seed, I circle
With a blessing and a prayer cause the testing
Probably come quicker than I’m guessing
And this is just music begging that we use it right
So nigh life see the light when they choose to fight
Cuz rap words backwards are not the cure
But black birds sing freedom with the dawn for sure
So I use a microphone to microscope
And tied this rope together as I fly this hope
So who am I
