This songs about a Girl that skates and doesn't give a fuck an that I think is cool. It's also a little bit a bout being super intimated by really cool people and trying to be friends with them even though they probably don't want to be my friend.
lyrics
You watch maya shoplift, you watch maya kickflip, you glance at her tattoos on the top of her right rib. You watch maya fall down, you watch maya bleed out, you watch crowds crowd around, and she screams without a sound.
And you know she waking and you know she's dying, living in the projects and you know she's trying. Brother is a junkie yeah she gets the groceries, and he's bound to get high, she can't know. (we dont wanna talk about it now)
Maya at the skate park, maya at the store. Maya at the record shop, maya wants more. She aint looking for a man man man man man, she'd just looking for a board. and she doesnt have a plan plan plan plan plan, she's just looking for some more, and she doesnt need your best wishes or from the people that she meets. and she doesn't need little kisses on her fucked up bloody knees.
And you met Max by his car, and he fucked you by the K- mart. Said did you really want it? No you kinda didn't. So I'll sleep on your couch, we'll drive back to your house, and if you cry in the middle of the I'll strike a match an It'll be alright.
And he knows he's dying, swear he knows he's quiet, and he fucks up so much not so great at lying. she dont pay attention she aint that type of a girl she would take the band aid rip it scream than fucking hurl
Maya at the skate park, maya at the store. Maya at the record shop, maya wants more. She aint looking for a man man man man man, she'd just looking for a board. and she doesnt have a plan plan plan plan plan, she's looks good in those shorts. and i took maya's hand soft and limp and dead, get off the road, you're a burnt out cigarette you've got nothing left, she said no.
and rolled up the window as she strolled into the car. And she sucked on her teeth as we drove off from the bar. and we screamed out the window as we drove into the dark.
Matt Pollock is my biggest inspiration for writing songs. Sad he's gone but everything I make has been and will be with him in mind. These songs are too hard to listen to now but will stay beautiful. Amar Ahmad
Sam's a great internet friend and I'm real glad I know him an we've made splits together. He really encourages me to keep writing songs and helped me grow. I hope you're well sam. Amar Ahmad
Joebob makes the best tunes and the best album covers. He was someone who always supported me to make tunes when I was young. He's the best. Amar Ahmad
supported by 5 fans who also own “"The Skate Girl", Maya”
