Who Am I

Who am i

Am I the one that passed by 
The moment for eye contact passed
In the blink of an eye
I will not know you, nor you know i
Thing is...
Doesn’t matter that you know me
As long as I know the answer to...
Who am I?

I am just me a guy
I am just me a 30 year old guy
OK. I am a 30 Year old black guy
That hasn’t yet found the reason why
Do you know who you are?
Does the thought of you cause you pain?
Would you find the answer strange?
The answer to the question
Who am I?

I can be anywhere found
My conscious logistically bound
In any town I ground
On any plane I fly
On any boat I'm afloat
At any mobile network range
Who am I? can never change
The answer is never strange
Who am I? 

When I die will I know...
Who am I?
The tree in the forest question...Frustrating to the wise
Simple to the blind
Who are you?
you will find
The answer is not opposite to... who am I?
I know who you are
I only asked to see if you would lie
I knew when i asked myself...
‘Who am I?”
