Pumped Up©
by Jack Bradway

Pouring fears flood the way
Driving home secret memories
Vulnerable issued bang-bang gun
Death the final blind date

Pumped up, got your pumped up ego
Pumped up, pumping adrenaline
Pumped up, with righteous thoughts
Pumped up, pumping adrenaline

What you know - What you see
What you think – Is what you seek
It’s not real – It’s not true
Unresolved PTSD

Protect fragile sense of self
Contrary to the oath you took
Locked in to only one conclusion
Guard this puddle, guard with your life

Pumped up, got your pumped up ego
Pumped up, pumping adrenaline
Pumped up, with righteous thoughts
Pumped up, pumping adrenaline

Crunching bones – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Melting thrones – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Tougher ‘n Stallone – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
By everyone he’s known – Shogun of Harlem

Walk with me
And you’ll see
Walk with me
I’m last dragon

Heartbeats go faster – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Arcade’s pastor – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Magical spellcaster – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
He’s the Master – Shogun of Harlem

Walk with me
And you’ll see
Walk with me
I’m last dragon

Who’s the meanest – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Who’s the prettiest – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
Who’s the baddest mofo low down around this town
Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff – Shogun of Harlem

Walk with me
And you’ll see
Walk with me
I’m last dragon
Who’s the meanest – Sho’nuff, Sho’nuff
