see you black boy
heard yo father an off beat
he aint never taught you how to read music
nobody took the time
to tune you
a freestyle
learned to swing around pain
til it became your instrument of choice
distortion
a primary love language
better be careful
becoming a full spectrum of sound
you know
they like you
only
feeling
blues
