My name is Rasheed Chappell and ever since 12 years old
This was my story
Every journey begins with a single step
Every beach with a single grain of sand
And every building with a single brick
The first brick is the cornerstone, the people the places
The highs the lows
The wins, losses, the love and pain that shapes us most
I can hear the sounds of voices being carried up to my window
As my mom and dad fucked, fought and got high
The smell of refer was as loud as the music that blared outside
And clashed with the sounds of sirens
My first brick is molded by my friends
Who share the unspoken language of acceptance because our stories are the same
My first brick will forever be tied to my name
Forever revealed in every word I speak
My first brick is sunflower seeds and Miss Berry icees
My first brick is popped bike chains and Boy’s Club swimming pools
Open hydrants and Chicken Holiday snack boxes
My first brick is sleepovers with cousins
Fist fights and learning to cuss like the old heads I mimicked that came before me
My name is Rasheed Chappell
This is my first step
My grain of sand
This is my first brick
