Window
12/3/20
I opened and jumped out my window
I saw the bigger picture not just life through a window
Went to help out kinfolk
At times had to do the limbo
Wasn't always simple
Jack be nimble
The real thing, not no ditto
Never really got into disco
Or listened to Cisco
I don't need no intro
Too many minnows
Bimbos
And nymphos
It don't mean s*** though
Drinking, while smoke billows inside a limo
Still learning and obtaining info
Got lit with a few Zippos
Off that drank and indo
Harder shell than an armadillo
She tried to kill me, like a black widow
Near the town of Amarillo
But I got the better of that sicko
Too many people softer than a pillow
Got to grow up, can't keep being a kiddo
Close and far from Pismo
Took care of business with or without a gizmo
In life did no good being a Schizo
Didn't always need to tiptoe
Took a ride on a Pinto
Got off and stood Akimbo
Nearby waters filled with Hippo
Girl told me her name was Calypso
That she was originally from Jalisco
And use to work for Nabisco
She thought I was sweet like Peanut Brittle
And a bag of Skittles
Nah, it wasn't like that, not even a little
Little by little
Was able to chisel
And whittle
Music made with or without a fiddle
Life was much more than a complicated riddle
Had to think outside the box, not remain stuck in the middle
Even though what I did was abysmal
Hit myself with a missile
And woke up in the hospital
