Lyrics: “Alexander”

By Al Johnson

Intro: while casually drilling 3’s

This track is kinda biographical. It’s a little bit about me.

3 pointer (swish)

A little bit about my family.

3 pointer (swish)

Also a little bit about what I aint.

That’s a 3 (swish)

Chorus:

Alex, xander, xander, xan, xander, Alex, xan, xander, Alex.

Shit the cops.

Flown a helicopter, jumped out of the plane, got punched in the face, joined a hip-hop class.: Those are things that I have never done.

Verse:

Alexander is my name

Alex-xander

Born and raised in Brookline Mass

Privileged white guy

Went to Shul most every day

Oy yoy yoy yoy

Yom Kippur I sometimes fast

Sometimes I don’t

Late night Immas in her room

Mom is in her office.

Typing, reading history.

Digs Islamic art.

Art Historian hard at work.

Reading, writing.

Mapping out her theories.

Portability.

Abbas cleaning up the house.

Cooking cleaning.

Laundry, dishes, countertops.

Cooking cleaning.

When he’s done it’s off to bed.

Snoring, sleeping.

So he can wake at 5am.

Early in the morning.

First to wake up every day.

Your honor.

Works the law in Bankruptcy.

His father.

First a lawyer, then a judge.

Your honor, his father.

Always fair he held no grudge.

No, no, no.

My older sisters hold down.

Sister.

My role models, they make me proud.

Sister.

One in politics.

Sister, sister.

One in philanthropathics.

That’s not even a word.

I know they always here for me.

Sister.

I know they are always there for me.

Sister.

Even if I do a bad.

Sister, sister.

And even if my mood is sad.

Wah, wah, wah, wah.

Chorus:

Alex, xander, xander, xan, xander, Alex, xan, xander, Alex.

Shit the cops.

Flown a helicopter, jumped out of the plane, got punched in the face, joined a hip-hop class.: Those are things that I have never done.

Outro:

Alex, xander, Alex, xander, Alex, xander, Alex. Those are things that I have never done.

Shit the cops. 3 pointer (swish).
