shame

from Ebony Maw - EP by Davis

lyrics

just a regular nigga
man i don't really know shit
a glorified idiot
regurgitatin' what i've consumed
spewin' knowledge vomit
blow bile till i hock spit
but i'm still learnin' still yearnin'
a used sponge still soakin' it
deep inhales feed my soul while the incense burnin'
belly full of hunger not yet stretched thin
apple antenna channelin'
how i manage this gift i've been given
imposter syndrome lurkin' round corners lynchian
in the mirror like is it me who deserves this
don't want no fame cause people make me nervous
could use the money though to take care of my OG
but my G do not perceive me
no face vagabond
full grown tadpole footworkin' out the pond
prodigal son revolving been gone for eons
spent too much time in the abyss
light barer cravin' darkness
prayin' for some sense of balance
fire walk with me while i spit electricity
soul filled to the brim with good intentions me
ain't seen momma's dreads in a couple weeks
guilt weighin' on my guy shit knocked me off my feet
but its all good though i operate in failure nothin' less than
cause perfection is the ultimate deception
make you feel less than those who sold their souls
fuck niggas co-optin' colloquialisms for internet fame
a small stake in this white man's game
samson without his mane
its a damn shame
