SHALLOWS. Lyrics by E THE ARTIST

2022

Thoughts through the dentures
Mom's from the slums
Dad's from the trenches
I'm from the Baile
It's hard not to mention that
Spawn from the Malians
Heir to oppression
Hair too aggressive
Comb all them locks out they fear you immensely
And rear you to cop out
Want me to opt out
Shocked by our culture
We're shot by their vultures in fields when the opps out
No spoon fɔ mi plassas, mi pap done cool
Feel a fool when my pops asks my mums for a clue
Speak the truth from my heart when my chamber's a secret
I drowned in the shallows, they swam in the deep ends
Frowned at my hollow view, it's mad I ain't peeped it
My life's been a weekend
They scraped through the nine-to-five
They're battered and beaten
Bloodied so I'm shining like the diamond of my people
Crying and applying any violence for equals
Battered and beaten
Bloodied so I'm shining like the diamond of my people
Crying and applying any violence for equals
(There's not a life that's better than yours)
(There's not a life that's better than yours)
I-I'll just start
(There's not a life...)
Staring in the face of the memories that I don't speak about
Maybe that's the reason I got issues showing feelings now
Think out loud and I often have to keep my mouth
From leading me to trouble, it's her heart that I'm bleeding out
And maybe she's the reason that I'm speaking now
And maybe I'm the reason we not speaking now
I agree I get over people with a smile
But try and hide your teeth when you're bitten half the fucking time
And I don't blame my dad, I just blame myself
How could I stand by while he... hmm (I'm sorry)
See that's just how it's been
Hiding what I've seen
How can I show others
What I can't even show myself
That's just how it's been
Hiding what I've seen
How can I show others
What I can't even show myself
That's just how it's been
Hiding what I've...
