The Pen - Lil B

Rare golden collectible mixtape before red flame mixtape drops

Where did the sun go

I am the pen

This is the pen, and this is real

As I picked up the gift from this rapper’s hand

Three fingers touched my chest, my ink on the paper

Used again, married to the notepad

Stored in the backpack for hours, never have a choice in my life

I was made to serve, be preserved

Mad when they throw me away

Maybe I gotten old, my ink dries like hair turns grey

Got a bunch of brothers and sisters all in the package

Take me then you takin' the era

Black ink is looked down upon

Say I’m not good for contracts, blue ink is what they say is superior,

like I’m inferior to my brotherhood pastels

I feel my callin', my cap is taken off my noggin

I think clearly now, suffocatin'

Ink is flowing through my body, infatuated with the bodies

The touch of the hand completes me, uh huh

I’m the original, computers move all fast and real writers Everlast and

bloggers are my competition

Remember when there was no newspapers

My grandfather Bic told me there was a golden era

When the pen that was first created, feathers were on the top

Dipped in ink, my forefather told me that I’m lucky, we’ve come a long way

A lot of pens were burned in violence from outside

Not protected with a layer of plastic, and my ink is preserved solid

And I will serve

Lexi findin' the dutch bags, 30 pack in the hood, I heard his story

That the pen that was always used, never ran out of ink

Came from the East side

Passed through many hands, somehow ended up on the President’s desk,

he has a home forever

Passed down through the generations, I appreciate Lil B because he takes his

time out, doesn’t neglect me

Never forget where he came from

The iPads lookin' dumb tryin' to take my place

Was written as the Bible, which type is not reliable, pick and choose ya

Imma be a pen for life

Imma be a pen for life

Where did the sun go mixtape, golden rare collectible

This is Lil B

Shouts out to Pitchfork, shouts out to The Fader

Shouts out to everybody that hold me down

Where did the sun go

Based world to the death

Collect all my music, remember this is not based freestyle, this is rare golden

collectible music, there’s a difference

Lil B
