Downtown Ken Brown
On the streets the punks are dealing junk
Hot women selling fountains of funk
Showing more than a decent man should see
Crying “Oh la dee, have a little trick with me”
Do you hear?
And nobody messes with Downtown Ken Brown
He’s the king of the hood with a thorny crown
Seek and the truth shall be found
God surely blesses Downtown Ken Brown
The inner city ain’t pretty until you look at the soul
It’s far more than labor and rock and roll they stole
But the beauty survives in rhythmic vibes
There’s something righteous in being happily alive
And poets on the corner in revolutionary anarchy
Crying “Oh la dee, have a little trick with me”
Do you hear?
And nobody messes with Downtown Ken Brown
He’s the king of the hood with a thorny crown
Seek and the truth shall be found
God surely blesses Downtown Ken Brown
Pink Cadillacs and street preachers named Jack
We heard you got the Word so we got your back
Handing out tickets for Jesus and food and clothes
The best blessings are the kindnesses everyone knows
And on the corner are junkies seeking sympathy
Crying “Oh la dee, have a little mercy on me”
Do you hear?
And nobody messes with Downtown Ken Brown
He’s the king of the hood with a thorny crown
Seek and the truth shall be found
God surely blesses Downtown Ken Brown
A man of the streets politics is simply let’s pretend
Every time an election comes you got a friend
Down in Washington FEMA is building crosses
When you’re sacrificing others you don’t count the losses
And on the corner the lambs are crying silently
Crying “Oh la dee, have a little mercy on me”
Do you hear?
And everybody messes with Downtown Ken Brown
He’s the king of the hood with a thorny crown
Seek and the truth shall be found
God surely blesses Downtown Ken Brown
