about

"Don't play me, boy."

lyrics

This guitar is my only friend.
But of late she's just a means to an end.

I could be a pacifist
I could be a pragmatist
I could be a pacifist
Getting my ass kissed
If I was a masochist
I could be an activist
Getting my ass kicked
Ha! YO FOOT, MY ASS!

I'se loves this guitar with all my might
But of late I only pick her up to write
Just a means to work out all my... stuff.
But of late the songs she gives me ain't enough

CHORUS

I could be a pacifist
I could be a pragmatist
I could be a pacifist
Getting my ass kissed
If I was a masochist
I could be an activist
Gettin my ass kicked
It’s all about YO FOOT MY ASS!

She's saying:
"Don't play me, boy."
Listen to the guitar saying:
"Don't play me, boy."

"Quit fucking around with that mediocre bullshit and
Do something to effect real change."

I could right wrongs
I could write songs.
I do not belong.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
