Marlon J.D.
He stood like a statue
As he was beaten across the face
With a horse whip
Where the wounds already exist
A well-oiled rifle
And never lonely, Marlon J.D.
If you want to count down, countdown
Give him some dignity
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
Learn to live without clutter
To live without luxury
Sometimes, I envy them
Goodnight yourself, Marlon J.D.
He did not defend himself
He didn't even raise his hand
I will not beg because
This is how I am
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
"Bare floors, plain white walls
No window curtains
Nothing but essentials
With no luxuries, no ornamentation
Utter simplicity
But it's also clean
It's clean as a rifle"
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see
"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"
As he was beaten across the face
With a horse whip
Where the wounds already exist
A well-oiled rifle
And never lonely, Marlon J.D.
If you want to count down, countdown
Give him some dignity
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
Learn to live without clutter
To live without luxury
Sometimes, I envy them
Goodnight yourself, Marlon J.D.
He did not defend himself
He didn't even raise his hand
I will not beg because
This is how I am
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
"Bare floors, plain white walls
No window curtains
Nothing but essentials
With no luxuries, no ornamentation
Utter simplicity
But it's also clean
It's clean as a rifle"
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see
"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"
