A young man in Levi Jeans and a North Face puffer
jacket stood on the main road in Birmingham
City Center with a boom box and a microphone

It was his third day busking
Temperatures were below minus, and it wasn't too pleasant

Many onlookers passed by, disinterested by what the
young man was doing. Nevertheless, he was resilient

After hours of rapping to nobody
a woman who looked to be middle-aged stopped
and was intrigued by what the young man was doing
She was then joined by a group of four younger
women who also wanted to see what all the fuss
was all about. Five turned into 10, 10 turned into 20
20 turned into 40, and 40, turned into 80

Before he knew it, the young man had a crowd

He was in disbelief and fairly overwhelmed

Passers-by were intrigued as to why there was such a crowd
Which prompted them to stay
and see what all the fuss was all about

It was at that moment he knew

He knew it was true

Nobody cares till everybody does
