[intro turntable scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate
With the paper mate
[Chorus]
I remember how it all first started
With the pen
Young child full of angst
With it all held in
Funny how things change
Now it’s all that I believe in
It’s all that I believe in
[turn table scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate with the paper mate
No edits
No erase
[verse one]
I light the first smoke of the morn
Ponder over this world
And what’s going on
I stay true to my craft
And dream to where this pen
Can take me
Better person it’s made me
Now that I see
Musically is how
I express my anger my heart
My confusion my illusions
Mind and mouth fusion
When I’m lost in the beat
No thought
Adrenaline
My life devotion
The moment is sweet
When my mind is set free
Over the melody
Whole world is complete
Release what’s inside of me
I’m finally free
I cherish these moments of purity
I’m finally free
[turntable scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate
With the paper mate
[Chorus ]
I remember how it all first started
With the pen
Young child full of angst
With it all held in
Funny how things change
Now it’s all that I believe in
It’s all that I believe in
[turn table scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate with the paper mate
No edits
No erase
[verse 2]
Hey yo
This pen has took me
On a journey through myself
Analyze till I’m paralyzed
I have knowledge of self
And all things that surround me
I didn’t ask for this life it found me
Look to new worlds with my notebook
My next quote is took
Stand beside that raging Brooke
Winds whisper through the Willow
Notebook beside the pillow
Yes, I’m dreaming again
The revealing of what I’m feeling
Words echo in the wind
By myself all alone in this world, I’ve trapped myself in
Go back every evening when I pick up the pen
When I pick up the pen
[turntable scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate
With the paper mate
[Chorus ]
I remember how it all first started
With the pen
Young child full of angst
With it all held in
Funny how things change
Now it’s all that I believe in
It’s all that I believe in
[turn table scratching]
Boy
I’m slick with the bic
Seal your fate with the paper mate
No edits
No erase
[verse 3]
I weave the seams of reality
And what it seems is what it’s not
A normal life is forgot
A skilled that self taught
Yes, I’m the professor
My pen causes the friction
Causes a million contradictions
Can’t get lost in the fiction
I’m trying to find the truth and meaning
When reality is deceiving
Whom are you believing?
So many questions need to be asked
So many paths to take
Before I awake
From the surreal numbness
Watching my pen, fly across the paper
Hard to believe that I’m the creator
Where was I just then
I go back every evening when I pick up the pen
When I pick up the pen
From my mind to my pen
To the paper and back again
From my mind to mouth to the words I’m spitting.

Young child full of angst
With it all held in

Now it's all that I believe in It's all that l believe in [turn table scratching]
BOY
I'm slick with the bic
Seal your fate with the paper mate
No edits
No erase
From my mind to my pen
To the paper and back again
From my mind to mouth to the words I'm spitting.
From my mind to my pen
To the paper and back again
From my mind to mouth to the words I'm spitting.
Yeah I’m slick with this pen
I’m slick with this pen
