Hedgehog Hustle

Hedgehog run

Feet to the road

Hedgehog run

Spines up, small frame,

still built for the climb I cut through the gravel with a

war drum mind No throne,

no crown, just dirt on my tongue They laughed at the pace

till the whole block run Bass in my ribs and the piano

talks back Guitar cuts sharp when the pressure turns black Tell every

locked door I am not done Hedgehog run,

hedgehog run

If the road bites,

I bite back If the rain comes,

I stay fast Little heart,

heavy drum Say my name when you hear me come

Hedgehog run, hedgehog run Small feet beating like a loaded drum Hedgehog

run, hedgehog run

Can’t cage what is born to come

Roll tight when the hard times hit

Stand tall when they call me little Hedgehog run,

hedgehog run I keep moving till the morning comes

I was counted out by the mouths in the hall Now the

floor shakes when the tiny ones call Needle coat,

steel nerve, eyes on the bend Every close shave made a blade

of a friend

She sings the scar like a crown I can wear I rap

the map out of cold night air

No big talk, just lungs and run Hedgehog run,

hedgehog run

I know the ground remembers Every mile I made it through Tiny

sparks in my temper Turn the whole road true Hold on,

hold on I was built to move

Hedgehog run, hedgehog run Small feet beating like a loaded drum Hedgehog

run, hedgehog run Can’t cage what is born to come Roll tight

when the hard times hit

Stand tall when they call me little Hedgehog run,

hedgehog run I keep moving till the morning comes

Hedgehog run

Hedgehog run

I keep moving Till the morning comes
