Tatterdemalion

Tatterdemalion…my trade and intellect is worth millions
I don’t need no stone wash over priced new jeans made ta look old!
Fuck American Eagle Outfitters!
I work hard to make these stains
Hold my pants up wit safety pins and chains
Work harder than a fresh immigrant getting paid American wage
Crawling into and under shit
that even a bum might see undignified and dirty
My effort is worthy
Earth soil on my knees just bring me closer to my mother nature and she ain't b*tchin'
Its not like I don’t shower
Would you want a lazy metro to cower?!
F*ck Prada! this is something I can be proud a’
Got paint spatter and blood blobs
coz I used my shirt as a temporary band aid and kept it moving
God says clothes don’t make the man only the sky heals
Dressing your heart with humble is harder than walkin’ in high heels
No materialistic mind here its all materials:
sawdust on cotton,
grease on cheek to compliment my labor swag
Throw on my rags and I’m stylin’
I’ma…Tatterdemalion
