No Title, just a bit of fun with words
Lit, lit, lit, Sip, sip, lit, lit, Can’t wait, here I am, I am me, Here I stand, come at me like a man, Battles they come seeking me, Here I stand, come at me like a man, Come and say to me, What you fear, is me angry, Don’t have to fear tho, Left…
In the Shallow Ditch He Hides
