  • First track off of Dikembe's album Chicago Bowls - dikembe.bandcam... - dikembefl.blogspot.com - I do not own this picture or this song. Not intended for copyright infringement - LYRICS: I'm no good with maps, I've no sense of direction. I can't write anything with auto-correction. I just can't keep up with this curriculum. I wish I could learn in my sleep. I've got a problem with problems. I'm not punctual. I get lost in context and sentence construction. I've never said this to anyone before. I've never said this out loud.
