billy woods & august fanon - mascara on mengistu كلمات أغنية
[intro]
guess i must be getting old or something
turn it on, please
[verse 1]
watched my mother cry from the top of the stairs
scared when it came through the walls, i covered my ears
half_hoping you_know_who would die, then he did (surprise)
careful what you wish for, might just get that sh_t
mom showed us where she kept the passports hid
the king’s dead and your uncles are not our friends
how many times i gotta tell you kids?
it’s us in this room, that’s it
[interlude]
don’t trust anyone
don’t trust anyone
[verse 2]
sometimes it’s all you can do not to do it like sylvia plath
my house full of gas, my kids cry, thеn laugh right after; psychopaths
i watched the slavе cry for his master waiting for him to break kayfabe
but the poor b_st_rd just sat there, supper untouched
you can’t make this sh_t up but you welcome to try
i ain’t go, but n_ggas told me it wasn’t a dry eye
[refrain]
weed had me paralyzed, hit it again off automatic
weed had me paralyzed, hit it again off automatic
[verse 3]
foraging firewood with a baby crying in the forest
don’t you go looking for it
just right how the white girl like her porridge
get scalded, scoffing out the wrong plate
wake up, b_tch, you in the wrong place
she sings for her and she isn’t here
she cries for herself, surprised at the question like, “who else deserved these tears?”
i know you wasn’t thinking it was you
i know you wasn’t thinking it was you
[refrain]
weed had me paralyzed (wasn’t thinking it was you), hit it again off automatic
[verse 4]
i think mengistu haile mariam is my neighbor
whoever it is moved in and put an automated gate up
repainted brick walls atop which now cameras rotated
by eight, the place dark, one light burn later
razor wire like a slinky
rumor is parcel bomb took the secretary right eye and pinky
evenings, he take a snifter of whisky on the veranda
i wonder what he’s thinking
in the morning, the maid brings coffee from the kitchen
some nights strange music plays, i lay in bed and listen
downstairs i hear my mother breaking dishes, my father trippin’
it’s been quite bad lately, high tension
galvanized steel security fencin’
to get through the day, give myself a mission
anything what get me out the house a blessin’
his bodyguard chews khat, spits black in the rhododendron
blacked out range rumble when he start the engine
avocado tree hang over the property line
i watch from as high as i can climb
the dog looks up and whines, the hills are alive with land mines
i live in my mind
not sure what i’m looking for, but i’ll know when i find
my mother sent the gardener to look for me, but the sky is a great place to hide
[outro: open mike eagle]
i went to bed at midnight
and the clock said 1, 2, 3…
go ‘head and close your eyelids
and then tell me what you see
cause every word that comes through me
it was born in a nightmare
