koot moning’ – derrickwithaexclamationmark Lyrics
VERSE
I woke up today with my heart heavy
Previous night my eyes glued on teevee
Current news and BIG headlines
Remotely, I change the channel, ain’t nothing amusing
Same old politics and mind boggling shit; Gem Z
I tune into some Classic 105 music
Maina & King’ang’i thoughts through my speaker
As I head for the sink
Brush my teeth
Sing along to Bridget Blues
Where is my eye-phone? ‘Sniff’
Take a sofa
Log on to X. It is a protest!
Different opinions of a diverse people
On how the government gonе to shit
How the president is a liar, I scroll and skimp through what trеnding topics there is
Nothing appealing to me yet!
It’s 8:30 by now
I’m about to have a breakfast I did not work for
And somehow I feel entitled
Gobble up everything pretty soon I’m gonna be in a sloth
My tummy is bulging out, and I never starve at mama house (I never)
Touch my rhyme books and jot down a few lines of thought
I keep stumbling across new beats, e.g. this one
Work on it, thinking I’m inspired much until I find a new beat
And the cycle continues
And the cycle continues
I can’t even finish my songs, mister perfectionist
I wanna spread so thin and cover much ground in one sitting
I burst my anus, trying to tap into whatever is in us
Inside me I wield the power to change things
I only lack that will (I lack that will bana)
Haven’t acquired much for myself to set up my generation
Of I fell out with Gin, (I fell out with Gin bana!)
I got pressures of not blowing up at twenty five
‘Friend’ on Omegle suggested me Osama bin Laden typa stint;
I’m not about that
Might be (kaboom!)
I’m a skint!
At twenty five; no job, no money
My supposed to be girlfriend is also lying to me
She never pick my calls, I gauge where the trouble could be
Not once have I taken her out on a date
I’m beginning to reconsider my ways
Of living in this city (Nairobi)
I cannot control my urges, I let them defeat me
Pornography was once a nightmare
Telegram was my holy grail
Until I discovered a few subreddits
Nudity became so pleasing, as I touched myself
Couldn’t avoid triggers, my high libido was something I had to address
I had to touch your girls
I got a smooth gob
I make them believe what there is not
I guess I am selling dreams, and false hope!
You only got to have the right dose
I’m glad I got out without a STD
Just because you cannot see don’t mean you are blind
Sometimes you only need to open your eyes
I’m in ties with my little vice
Life in the sin city
Fucked three bitches in four days, and then I ghosted too
Fornication a new norm
I even started hitting on my neighbor
Denise, she a beautiful doll
She know I ain’t got shit, why she roll her eyes when I throw in a compliment, our conversations
Swear to God, I count all that shit
Make sure to spin the block on all these women
Tell myself that will satisfy my vengeful desires
Cross that bridge when you appear
Cross that bridge when you a-appear
Cross that bridge when you appear
Appear. Appear, hm
I am saying that without a fear of contradiction
