Quoted by Torre himself
So they ask me "Torre why do you have so many tattoo's?"
Imagine how your going to look when you get older & your skin begins to sag on you
I give them a stale face, "like buddy are you serious?"
This is my body, I live for the moment, & do what I want to do - point blank period
Then they ask "well what about jobs?" "what about employment?"
Then I respond "I can careless about what they think, & I do this for my enjoyment?"
The only people that can stop me from getting money - is me, myself, & I
Not you, not them, & not that man dressed in a suit & tie
Then they ask "well isn't painful, doesn't it hurt?"
That's when I say "The only pain I ever felt, was when they put my best friend in the dirt?"
He was only 20yrs old when he was taken from me
To be honest, he's the real reason why I have all this painting on me
He had called me one day & said "I'm about to get inked"
Gave me some of his idea's & said "brother what do you think?"
I said " yea man go for it, just don't get something you'll regret"
6yrs later now I have his face tatted on my chest
Not to mention 70 other body arts covering my canvas
Then they say "your body is a temple, your doing your skin much damage"
What if the needle isn't clean? Won't you get infected
What if you get poison from all the ink that's injected
Young man you should be more cautious, more concerned about your health
& my response is "you should be more concerned about yourself"
Don't worry about me - what I did & what I didn't
I care not to hear any opinions about my image
When it come's to tattoo's I am no where near finished
I don't have a dream of being a doctor, lawyer, or dentist
My future is as far as I can see and will be as bright as I can make it
I will live my life to the fullest until the night that I am taken
Every letter and picture on my body has a meaning
Open your eyes, because seeing is believing
Give me one good reason why I should stop getting tatted
& I'll give you ten good reasons why your not getting tatted
Yes! There are some people who don't care for them that much
But half of the world doesn't want to have to deal with the problems & the fuss
The discrimination, the judgment, even the commitment
Forget what the world thinks, this is my drug & I'm addicted
Everywhere I go - somebody questions me
Yes! I am (A) OK, but you should let me be
Let me breath until the day I stop and they put me in a casket
Then you can come to my funeral, stand over my body, and witness my madness.
