Verse 1
Fuck it! I can’t think of an intro to this song at all
So I’ll throw something and see what sticks to the wall
Ever since covid closed the McDonalds on the deuce
New York been a ghost town silence is the proof
I like the silence, I can hear my inner truth
Empty streets the clacking of cowboy boots
I fought so long for people’s validation admiration
Now surrounded by so much love it’s strangely suffocating
Funny once I found I could really do this shit
I found myself not putting too much into it
D says i’m lazy if my backs not against the wall
Hate to admit it he might be right afterall
If you came here looking for one liners and punchlines
Triple entendres then I’m not your guy
But I was born with this absurd amount of drive
Energy that feels like a fire inside
Pieced it altogether dead & alive the why’s
Talk about it so much in all of my rhymes
I’m the phoenix risen from the ashes by design

Chorus
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…

Verse 2
Gazing my granddad’s & mom’s behind my blinds
They did it all the time albeit different lines
He rose from cancer multiple times she did it
From domestic violence automatic pilots
Rest & recharge to drive twice as hard
Blood in the bedroom, bathroom, and front yard
I’ve lived with the same type of electrical charge
At the poker table here’s my deck of cards
I’d have blue chips for every convo at a bar
With a women who tells me “I know who you really are”
Oh boy..Don’t say it, don’t say it..
“The armor in your name” she’s gonna say it
Covers you from expressing your true feelings
Uh no maybe it’s just you that i’m not feeling
This whole conversation I haven’t been reeled in
Just cause it’s there doesn’t mean I should deal in

Chorus
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…

Verse 3
Times SQ corner of the H&M
Blood racing like I just hit the gym
Deep in thought pull ups to the chin
So close to a bar I feel it in the skin
Perfect rhymes to tell my story with the pen
Don’t talk or touch me that’s a distraction
Fuck! Why am I always asked for directions?
Do these people fall off a bridge in speculation?
Or did I guide them safely to their destination?
Hmmm...How many circles inner sanctums
Have I been a part of and never thanked them?
For temporary leave of my mind's asylum?
A drifter like my father before me
Navigating the stars exploration is my story
My time in any group is a short stay
I eventually rub everyone the wrong way, i'm out!

Chorus
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
String it altogether painting you a different picture
Telling you the stories about the lonely hearted drifter
Drifter, drifter…
