I used to be a Musician....
....I used to be a Poet....
....and I once was even a Dancer....
But I was never a Man
until I became a Loser.

....The spirit of my people is starving, broken and sweaty Dreaming about revolution looking at my machete- But the workload is too heavy to rise up in arms And if I ran away, I know they'd probably murder my moms.... [immortal technique]
