[SPOKEN INTRO]

I'm the brother

... hear what they say ...

... then try to make sense of it ...

... lemme tell y'all what I
have LEarned ...

i ain't ya ...

and keep it lo-key

my_mind's_a_weapon
yep - for quite some time

and can't commit no crime

'cuz_I_shine_so_bright
and hide the grime

yea_I_can_be_the_best
and be even worse

when they hit "reverse"

[CHORUS]

Say what?

SAY WHAT?

Say what?

SAY WHAT?

[Verse 2 - Changing players don't change the game ... watch & LEarn]

12

[speak slowly]

this ain't 'bout y'all

it's a wake up call

when the conversation's "small"

that's when you listen "tall"

[CHORUS]

Say what?

SAY WHAT?

Say what?

SAY WHAT?




About Derrick Brown (Standup Storyteller)


I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.

I am a “standup storyteller.”

I fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking), singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.

Everything must change - and stay changED.

Tradition begins and ends with change.

Change begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation, and problem solving as tools of change.

I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.

My education began when I finished school.

After school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language, self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.

My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.

I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.

We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.

I now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).
