deathmask . . .
[Intro]
Navy, Blue, truest
[Verse]
Shadow with me while I'm steppin' on my own resentment
Life scatter in all directions, I was overzealous
Overcurious, Momma worry her days get better
I know she heard me, a timid voice in her stormy weather
And Poppa taught me our ancestors were tarred and feathered
And brought across the sea, bodies swinging from poplar trees
I wore a modernesque version, my burden haunted me
I cautiously approach the rather daunting sea
By nightfall I face the man I'm 'sposed to be
All this grief, been eatin' away my stomach lining
It's hard to eat when my poppa image stuck inside me
I wore his death mask, smilin' through the trauma
In his honor, I'm expounding
Seein' eyes of a woman, 'cause they will always doubt me
In the midst of my cautiousness, my prudence found me
Oh watch as I dismiss this envy when it do surround me
