It’s our marks that set us apart
Ink in our skin as we agin’ try to find a way to express what’s in our hearts
I got a microphone wit lyrics to carry me back home
Reflectin’ on thoughts that won't leave me alone
I had a tall drink of water for a Queen
With thighs and cheeks that could make any man dream
Our anniversary her first and my last name
Yea that’s somethin’ i'll never do again
A madd ball was my first goon
A skull with a skully and a bandana somethin I still think is so cool
I got my daughter’s name on my hands
And my first goon keepin’ watch over my lil man
These designs is just me speakin’ on myself
Family legacy down the backs of my arms with space for my wife on top of the shelf
A nickname was my first tattoo
An acknowledgment to the effects of how I move
So when that needle penetrate what is yo message
At 60 you can't tell no mo so how you gon’ pass on that lesson
But then again what is you really expectin’
Sometimes it’s best to leave the canvas blank and keep ‘em guessin’
POETIC!
