blank check
all I can stand
that was my demand
rough around the edges
yet ready in my denims
claim jumpers running dumpers
frozen engines that sputters
prose goes to low
I'm not going to strike a blow
I'm more upward flow
yet the checks never came
blanked my name
when I have so much fame
that don't have a woman and a ring
go down a drain
I deserve my riegn
