armor

 

 

there's this guy, see,

 

and he don't know shit from shinola

 

, see, and because he's afraid

 

he put on a suit of armor, see, and

 

nobody can fuck wit' him because if

 

they do, his armor is charged with

 

energy that repels any and all who

 

dare fuck wit' him, see, and 'dis guy,

 

we'll call him tom, has this armor on

 

all the time; even when he ain't fightin'

 

nobody, and sometimes people come around

 

he wants to get to know, but he

 

can't go near them cause the armor energy goes

 

off and there's no way out of it unless

 

somebody takes the armor off for him 'cause he

 

can't do it himself on account of he's

 

scared that when it's off, somebody'll stick

 

a dagger in his heart, even though he's

 

willing to take the risk every day of his

 

fuckin' life, see? you hear me?

 

but i like you, so i'm givin' you permission

 

to peel it off, layer by layer

 

until you get to the core and

 

maybe get to know him 'cause he wants to

 

know ya' back, see?

 

 

but if ya' fuck wit' my boy, there's

 

gonna' be trouble, see? i look out for

 

him, my boy; he's all i got; he's

 

fragile like a mirror made of eggshell,

 

so go gently young knight
