Witness

I'm A Loner, Dottie.....A Rebel.

About Me

About Witness: I started making hiphop music at age 15 with intentions of waking up the next day and becoming Kool Moe Dee. I'm now 22 and have intentions of being 15. I rap under the name Witness. I talk under the name John. Burn my songs. Give them to your friends, but ESPECIALLY to your Aunts and Uncles.

And yes....I run this page myself...no robots.
