Mr. Wordsmith And Im packing heat Go to war with words when Im Lacking peace Making songs till Im lacking sleep From the crack of dawn to the black of eve I was raised at home but Im the blackest sheep My past to me, all history Rest of my path still a mystery But as for me, I have never skipped a beat [hook x2] I cannot say I have ever skipped a beat No I have never skipped a beat I have felt defeat I have felt hell underneath my feet But all the pain only keeps the flame within me, awake, Im working on a DREAM
