Inspired By Art: Untitled (Cuffs and Streets)
To me the picture on the left reminds me about always leaving the unit with handcuffs
We can’t go nowhere without them on our wrists
But just know when we touch down
We don’t got to have them on anymore
~
To me the picture on the right reminds me of the streets
Because everywhere we turn our head
We see shoes hanging off the electrical cords
