Sapient - Letterhead lyrics

[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-a** 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) [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
