Howlin' Wolf

Yo, the mark is indelible Words ain’t just what I’m selling you for revenue If it ain’t joy and pain it ain't eligible I'm a professional but this is not a spectacle I specialize in what I memorize It's never sanitized no pesticides The maintainer of a cultural container For me spitting a flame is a no-brainer It's from the heart right What i write sparks light in a dark night And hook it like Cartwright I ask the audience y'all alright? If I catch a second wind it's gonna be a long night Of ho sayin and hands waving And fans proclaiming their love for what that man’s saying If you cry when you're listening You should know it's a reflеction of mine when I scribbled thеm I never hid them and bottled them inside myself I rock and moan like the howlin' wolf Rock and moan like the howlin' wolf All my narratives my comparisons Got me questioning the mirror that I’m staring in My self deprecation is just arrogance My self deprecation is just arrogance Feel that The suicide of a false martyr Fail better fall smarter To be truly sincere is a tall order I'm disappointed in my enemies How you gonna abandon me in contending with me? To see is the one and only job of the seer But it can't see itself without a mirror So cry me a river or find me a village Where the blind leading blind ain't about pointing fingers They left no stone unturned When they canceled ancestors for something they just learned Can't keep it bottled inside myself I rock and moan like the howlin wolf Rock and moan like the howlin wolf All my narratives my comparisons Got me questioning the mirror that I’m staring in My self deprecation is just arrogance
