they knew my name

i was in their way today (they wanted to turn right)

two men with loud music and I looked at them and smiled
lil naive girl that I am here, with my girly braid somehow tucked in
on the east side

I looked at them and said "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" for blocking them in
and they shook their head and said , "you a'ight, you a'ight girl"
when I was able to sneak forward a bit, ready to pull out they ask
"girl whats your name?"

and I shook my head because I wasn't going to tell them

and they shook their head back at me, because even though they didn't know my name, they said it
they said you are "precious" or "priceless" I am not sure which

but God spoke both of them through them, and that is all that matters.
