Tattoos by ECHOisthename Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Echo]
You see these tattoos? Please look at all of them
These are me telling my Dad to please look at his son
I'm just a little kid, walking down Madison
Fucking with the tourists, see to me? That was a lot of fun
And playing with a gun, and smoking weed a lot
I just want to be down, I really must miss my pops
I was a smart kid, never disliked the cops
But the grades didn't matter to the bosses living on my block
And I just want to rock, the latest Air Jordans
I'm selling drugs on the corner, I feel like I'm scoring
I feel so important, I'm filling this void
I'm doing drugs to stop the chatter "KILL THE NOISE"
When my boys pick me up, I feel alive inside
Because the idea of a father, been died
I'm still here nigga, even though I never cried
I got way too much pride, because I'm a lion, right?
[Hook: Echo]
You see these tattoos?
Please look at all of em (4x)
You see these fucking scars?!
Please look at all of em (4x)
[Verse 2: Echo]
If I could go back in time, and tell me some things
I'd tell myself not to worry, life has many lanes
And you drive many ways, can't sweat the small stuff
Everything's a lesson, don't ever think that you're not tough
And when shit gets rough, just remember the fact that
We all reincarnate, so you'll probably be back
The point is, to learn and grow, twice as fast
You ascend to the next class, you move away from the past
Much quicker. You're a light, life flickers
It's not about the bills, your job or all ya niggas
It's about, things happen, make your boat bigger
Better use both paddles, this a bumpy river
And I figured out, never shout, just whisper
If you got something to say, your point comes across quicker
And I will pour liquor, for dead relationships
Major Su-Fi to relation-shits
[Hook: Echo]
You see these tattoos?
Please look at all of em (4x)
You see these fucking scars?!
Please look at all of em (4x)
[ Verse 3: Echo]
Standing on the mountaintop, bearing my soul
I'm taking off my ego, like I'm wearing my robe
Like I'm stepping out the shower, can't wash away the old
Guilty feelings from the past, I don't wear a halo
Don't believe in karma, I'm in full control
I made this whole life, so my spirit would grow
I'm jumping out the window, walking through the open door
I want to change the world, that's what I be hoping for
And a long time ago, I used to sell dope to poor people
Took over blocks, shit, to me, there was no equal
No. I'm not evil. I was misguided
And to this very day, your boy's very nearsighted
And the fire was ignited, I couldn't fucking fight it
My fear was gettin' smaller, put it on a fucking diet
I'll incite a fucking riot, I'm tired of being quiet
I be screaming at the public because I'm tired of being private!
[Hook: Echo]
