Desert Mat Outlaw

[Intro] Yo, in the backstreets where the tumbleweeds roll Out here living free, Howard rules his soul Boots scuffed with tales every inch they trod Living his truth, outside the law of God [Verse 1] Stetson hat tipped low, shading outlaw eyes Every puff he blows, another dream he buys Ragged jeans, a spirit that never dies With a jeb in his lips 'neath the open skies [Verse 1] I met Howard Lo with his boots worn through, yeah Smokes his jeb like the outlaws do, yeah Bottle in hand, wine of the cheapest brand In the wild town dust, watch him take his stand, yeah [Pre-hook] He dreams big in a haze, under western sky Fist full of smoke, and eyes up high [Hook] Living on the fringe, yeah, he's a rolling stone Sipping from the bottle 'til the wine is all gone With the dust on his boots and a jeb smokе still strong Howard's got his stories in the heat of the sun [Verse 2] At the jujitsu gym, he's a different soul Twisting up his body, control is his goal From the streets to the mats, watch him flip and roll Wine-fueled flips with an outlaw's control, yeah [Verse 3] Some say Howard's lost, drifting with the sand A shadow in the valley, a bottle in his hand But on the mat, he's found, a samurai reborn Disarm his demons, leave 'em bruised and torn, yeah [Pre-hook] He'll choke you out with style, a mastermind Leave the wine behind, his clarity defined [Verse 4] Yeah, Howard Lo, he's the talk of the town Trades his crown of thorns for a black belt gown Ditching the smoke for the choke, lay you down On the barroom floor or the mat, he's renown [Bridge] When the night falls low on the desert plain His mind's clear, but the streets still know his name
