Inked
Black and red the sketch of pride
A gift and a token on the shoulder so wide
It’s not just a tattoo but the ink of faith
Scribbled on this brown skin with a happy face
The pain of needles and the the blood so warm
I don’t care, me getting inked is not just a charm
It’s the belief of carrying the soul and honesty
The shout out of will power and changing destiny
Look at the design and feel the reign
I just got inked bearing the beautiful pain.
