text: Yo, check it out, let me tell you 'bout this boy I know
  He's only 9 but he's dealing with a syndrome that's slow
  Sjogren-Larsson got him with the classical features
  Dry skin, ichthyotic scales, been battling since he was a creature
  
  From the day he was born, his skin was all dry
  Biopsy confirmed it, ichthyosis, oh my
  By the age of two, he couldn't walk straight
  Learning problems piling up, it's a heavy weight
  
  Neurological exam showed spastic paraparesis in his gait
  Macular degeneration, mental retardation, it's not great
  MRI of his brain and spine, man, it's a sight
  Lesions in the white matter, corpus callosum ain't right
  
  Cerebral atrophy, focus and diffuse
  Spinal cord atrophy, this boy's got the blues
  But yo, he's fighting strong, he's got heart and soul
  Facing challenges head-on, he's on a roll
