Lyrics
Description
Kick-kick, clap-clap — big as a beat — boom, in my chest Let me tell you about my dad
He walks in like an 808 in a quiet room, low-patient, all-blown Fixed my bike at midnight, grease
on his hands, moon in the gloom Whistle jazz on rainy blocks, rim-shot laugh
through the dark, cheered at my little league game Cheap hat, loud and hard, hard art
Jack back, he keeps time with a knot Every small miracle stamped in the palm of his
lap When the city slows down, he's the metronome
on a stool A soft count, pick-up, one-two, snap, loop-by-loop
His laugh, a rim-shot through the dark His voice, a steady drumbeat
When I'm off tempo, he pull me back, keeps my feet on the street
Big as a beat, boom, in my chest He keeps my heart in times heavy on my chest
Right on every climb, God, when I confess Big as a beat, boom, in my chest
He taught me to change a tire at dawn, mumble the curse, then laugh
Pack lunches with notes, you got this, fold it in half
Held a flashlight while I crawled under cars, palms cold, prayer worn
Sang doo-wops to the late-night radio, turned shelter into storm
He kick, clap, clap, his rhythm taught my feet to stand
He builds a map with slow repairs and faster helping hands
He missed my play once, worked overtime, empty seat under yites
I was furious, slammed door loud, stole me adolescent nights
But the time the ambulance came, he came back, sleeves rolled, steady heat
