I’m More Than Just A Number

I’m More Than Just A Number

I’m more than just a number
even doe I was in 3 weeks labor with
my mother and came out 7-8-81

I’m more than just a number
even doe my father left me at 3 months
and came into the system at 16

I’m more than just a number
even doe I became a father at 25
to a baby boy and 28 to a baby girl

I’m more than just a number
even doe I had 1 state bid number
a few island numbers and now
my new one is XXX-XX-XXXX

I’m more than just a number
even doe I’m a talk blk man
6’1 175 lbs with 4 tatts

But still I’m more than just a number
even doe I been locked up since
11-04-09 and wont have my freedom
Back until 7-8-2012

But wont you let me please ask you
am I really more than just a number
