With apologies to A Tribe Called Quest and Babiato

Back in the days when I was a plebe surfer
Before I had the mind of a designer
You could find me a mere admirer
My pops used to say, "you’re no artist!
Take that sh** off the wall"
I said, well daddy don't you know that thing you call sh**
Someday will be the sh**
It's all expected, things are for the lookin
If you got the chops, go for the bookin

Nowadays still a plebe surfer
So-called graphic designer
Still a mere admirer
No one’s bookin
No one’s bookin
Still broke, nothin’s cookin
