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
