lyrics

Don't call me a criminal, my appearance is from experience. Getting my throat tattooed until I'm delirious. You ever grow your hair until it's an afro and high school kids wanna treat you like you're an asshole. But today that's all confidence. Gives me humility when I speak out my esophagus. Used to find me at punk shows moshing, now you can catch me teaching Islamic doctrine. Because life is a development. I'm trying to gain intelligence and avoid irrelevance. Alex Plus he's the composer. I lace the track without losing my composure. This compact disc given to you for some exposure. I'm trying to go public without becoming a poser. Some people's attention is faster than an hourglass, they're skipping the intro before I finish my paragraph.

I'm from the Island of Staten. That's the borough that's forgotten. Not connected by the subway so we're not as rotten as the rest. But it also makes us sheltered. I'm covered in tattoos but never done a jail term. I got a beard like I'm homeless, but on the microphone I'm fully focused. So don't forget to check the live performances. I wanna see you in person singing to my choruses. The audience surrounds the perimeter but still I represent like a senator. See if I got a shred of credibility, check the lyrics and see what I said up on this melody. I'm curious about your preconceptions. Are you college freshman going through adolescence? Or do you have a family and reached maturity, corrupted by experience or maintaining your purity?
