Kornbread Dreams of Brighter Days To Come - Alex Carrigan

It’s Dick:35pm somewhere!
Still time to let it free from the cages.
I’m so down to shake a titty.

This is porn. Messy ass
can’t even be a ho in peace.
And I won’t lie and say it’s easy.

We just grade each other’s
nudes to send to trade.
I’m screenshot-ting this.
Let’s see the results tomorrow.
Lmfao I’mma still complain.

Just ate my last chicken tender for the next six months.
I actually used to get vegan before I started drag.
For three years. Got tons of evidence haha.

I wake up every day THANKFUL
I’m practically representing myself
and my best interest for my career.
Feels good to know I’m not being cheated.

Baby, I own my song lol.
This tweet with this song is so dramatic
and it’s what we all need for breakfast.

Never let a bad thing block you
from happiness:
it happens to the best of us.
But if we don’t move on we allow them to win.
Bitch, you on a roll.
That’s how it’s supposed to be!
