lyrics

Mr. T is my hero
He's so very, very cool
He teaches me to be somebody
So that I don't have to be somebody's fool

He teaches me to treat my mother right
His changes remind him of his folkses' past
He reminds me that I must wear clothing
Or in the jailhouse is where I'll wind up at

He's got all the style & cool dance moves
His rappin' skills are where it's at
I think I'd like to look just like him
Except I don't have a mohawk, and I'm not black

So Mr. T, if you ever hear this
And I really, truly hope you do
Maybe some day we could hang out
Someday when I'm famous just like you

All or Nothing

Joy Ike's new album is, quite simply, impressive. Poppy, jazzy, thoughtful, catchy. "Time" is an especially strong track. Matt Wheeler
