Leather Over Denim

...ready for anything that comes my way...

By Ken DonnerPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I got a mouth full of answers

So be careful with what you say,

Don't run your tongue too loose,

Don't screw your face too tight,

Don't disrespect my brother,

Cuz I'm bound to set you right,

No time for your confusions,

Conspiracies and shite,

Drop all your delusions,

Separating black from white,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I got a pocket full of answers

So be careful with what you say,

Now listen closely mister,

You should sure heed my advice,

Don't underestimate my sister,

Cuz she'll make you pay the price,

No time for your mansplaining,

Unsolicited advice,

For far less than you are making,

She can do your damned job twice,

Yeah I'm wearing leather over denim,

And I don't have to play nice,

Bridge:

Sometimes you have to speak up,

Sometimes you have to set the record straight,

Sometimes you have to wonder,

Just why all of those haters gotta hate,

(and instigate)

Don't reinvent the wheel,

But choose how it should roll,

Question what you feel,

Don't be a goddamned troll,

You always have a choice,

Though you think you've lost control,

Let others find their voice

Give back what we stole

I'm wearing leather over denim and I'll fight to make things whole,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

Ready for anything that comes my way,

I got a fist full of answers

So be careful with what you say,

I'm wearing leather over denim,

So be careful with what you say!

About the Creator

Ken Donner

Been writing since I was 9 years old or so.

Can't help myself.

It's how I'm wired.

A multitude of verse.

"I may never learn to fly, but keep the sky above me open, just in case."
