I'm still sittin on the steps
Sideways
Still feelin the breeze
Cold days
Still textin with the one hand
Always

Hat so loose you wonder how it stays on
Smile so crooked you wish it'd fall
Remember those days where I'd stand so tall
Chin high up in the air
I'm not sure anymore

So many boys you'd need a list
Just to know which to kiss
As I sat on your steps
Chin high up in the air
Got your kiss, and no I didn't care

Voice still raspy from that whiskey
Got that knife in my shoe
Chunkin deuce
What it do?

Remember those days
So beautiful
Boys goin to war just to squeeze you
Sittin on those steps- I got to please you

Still sittin on the steps
Sideways
No breeze
Old days

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” -Henry David Thoreau

Okay. I like this. The attitude is there. The swagger. "Still sittin on the steps." Nothings changed but the years. I'm still kicking ass. Taking names. Yep. I like this.
