[Interlude]

I'm a letterhead

(Echo)

I'm a letterhead


[Verse 1]

I’ve been obsessed with words ever since I was a little buck

Always picking up pens and pencils to scribble stuff

It helps to represent the inner of me

With or without the literacy, I’m still living the dream

Fascinated with letters and trying to make ‘em unnatural shaped art

Our hands would spray at the train yard

Under bridges and alley way walls

Another business defaced in a conspicuous way

When I was under 18 I had nothing to lose

Give the graffiti task force something to do

Cover the huge-ass graff pieces thrown up by my crew

When I get a head full of letters, I’m cutting them loose

Some think that it would be a gift

A gift divinely bestowed to those that get in line

Wait and wait and wait and get denied

Unhappy, they don’t realize Letterhead is not a gift

It’s a vice


[Interlude]

I'm a letterhead

(Echo)

Never slept on or left for dead

(Echo)

I'm a letterhead

I'm a letterhead!


[Verse 2]

I select a rhythm, and if what I say gets a listen

Then no matter what, the things I said I’m livin' despite of your skepticism

In the amount of measures written

I could quit, I could curve it

It’s just addiction, I use it instead of stickin' it all in veins

I become obsessed, awake all night

And forget it when I wake up the next day alive

It brought me back to my essence, like Christmas time

Only getting drawing pads as my presents

Mom how the hell you think I’d turn out?

Burned out at age thirty lookin' for jobs living at your house

I know you don’t see me like that

But I’m just a junkie

With a price tag, despite that image of me

I’m never giving up or getting dusty

That pot of gold in the distance must mean I’m getting lucky

With headie letters whether in a group or solo user

That beat pumps by blood with mojo boosters

I’m a Letterhead
