i dont rep anywhere, if i had to i'd rep nowhere
i'm nomad, my mind is elsewhere
but of course im proud of where I'm from
for I am from stardust
so ashes to ashes, blow me homie
As long as I get to make my points no need to scream n cuss
Duals is no big fuss, a lone star only
Don't look up to me, I'm pretty terrible
What did you expect? I'm a man. sprinkled with miracles of beautiful
From the poignancy of when your heart is fully unconditional
all the way down to the loneliness of your cubicles
They try to pass me off as naiive wishful thinking
But their heart is sinking
And how can a fallen part fill the whole which it sever
My hope stems from seeing the forever
Whether sad breath or happy breath, neither is promised
so I try to cherish this present gift
Knowing each moment is precious, is but a fraction of what it's worth
We all do our dirt to get by, why the poor hustle harder than the rich just to survive
Better choke me in these shallow waters, before I get too deep
I tried to walk a thousand miles, before I even grew feet
I slid down slippery slope of sleepy sin wit sheep o' bo peep
Ignored the steep, caught some heat, but gettin outta dodge is no big feat
wishin on a snowflake, whether woes get weary
or the years got dreary
I know its hard, n if eyes get teary
be one with the rain, life's a cold coltrain
let's same cooke it by twistin the night away
so hop the box train n bring your night into the next day
dont need any stature or trinquets, hell don't really need a place to stay
I always seem to find a way, just need memories of my loved ones, a bindlestick
n as long as i know right from wrong, I'll be okay
I'm the 007 hobo, I'm a dirty ass vagabond
how dare you label us just another squatter,
when your the one with dreams left stagnant and squandered
ares may be too, but at least we still wander
You see us as savage trash, but our eyes have seen yonder
you need a million things to feel pleased and once you have them you need a million more
we're happy with a bridge or tree to sleep under, or even on the sand by the seashore
You say we're lost, but actually our values we keep to the core
And our days may not know your cuddly comfort, but at least they're still filled with mighty wonder
We're the lightning and the thunder,
n under pressure we got our community and a sidewalk slammer
Don't always have enough cash,
but that's nothin that can't be solved wit a lil Buck or Johnny Cash
So here's to honor amongst theives,
we don't fit in your tiny box of what you thought society is supposed to be
but nor do we wanna be, i'm a dirty ass vagabond and there's noone else who i'd rather be
I'm the 007 hobo, I'm a dirty ass vagabond
