about

This was the first track I wrote and committed to this project long before I even came up with the name for the album. I instinctively knew that this was one of the directions i was going with the albums content.

I wrote this song in one night, in one sitting it just came to me. A lot of the events in the song save for the ones in the opening verse all stockpiled and were thrown at me a year after I moved back from California to Queens.

It was as if my journey out west prepared me for the knowledge I was going to get. As for the contents of the first verse, I was reminded of those things as a block in front of me was removed in that conversation with my Grandmother. Knowing what I know now it explains my troubles with anxiety, people in my personal space and much of my fear. However when I'm on..I'm on. It's a weird combination that I thrive off this fear to properl me to olympian heights..

My Life

Written by Enrae L. Mercer aka Super King Armor

Intro: Sound bite instrumental

Verse 1
Daydreaming honda accord or a Lexus
Grandma interrupts fantasies exit
At the kitchen table eating my breakfast
She said by mama’s boyfriend I was molested
Melvin was his name the author of my pain
The same friend like Ronda who left bruises on my frame
The same one whose son was drowned in a bathtub
Isn’t Grandpa a Cop!? Why isn’t Melvin locked!?
Tears down my face that don’t even stream
My family is a conservatives wet dream
((Mama)) Why are these people so important and I’m not?
((Mama)) Are you that afraid of being alone
that your only begotten son you’ll readily disown
But..they’ll say that I’m wrong
I’m a facade..And it's allll a lie


No Chorus Only soundbite and instrumental

Verse 2
All’s I have as revenge is success
But dollar bills on a mop won’t clean up this mess
From hell’s heart I stab at thee!!
Anything to chop off a branch of this family tree
What of my ((pop)) oh that’s right…
He got remarried and started a new life
And said he has no children to his new wife
Wonder how my sister feels about that??
I wrote her a letter but she never wrote back..
Am I nothing more than the son of a Junkie and a failed man??
I’ve fallen so many times from derailed plans
But I’m no charity case or village idiot
The chip on my shoulder could build pyramids
But I’m black and we sweep under the rug
And if the dirt gets to high then we give it a shrug
Because man...We all got problems….

No Chorus Only soundbite and instrumental
