Mortal I (a poem) Lyrics by TRIANDRO

Misery of a Proletariat

2023

[Verse 1]
Listen
Mortal I, mortal he, mortal us
Mortal
I'm just a black man
A man unfazed by the moonlight
Yet when faced with his own morality flinches
The gun of a pig, or of another brother
Barrel of laughs to the barrel of that gun
Apparel I wear must be dirty, the way these eyes stare
But when I remove these clothes I still find eyes there
And when I bare these iron gloves fitted by the capital past
Unbeknownst to me
The clutch of purses
The purses of lips
The urges to slip
Mortal he, Mortal we, Mortal I
Morals weak when faced with a brazened
Sky
The bull of gold I burn within
All because the sin of skin
All because this black I share
With mother earth of dirt and where
Did I put my keys?
Guess I left em behind?
Maybe that would explain why my pockets are blind
Blind to wishing for riches and bitches
Blind to snitches and stitches
And witches
Which is it when It comes to it?
I'm no mule, no gun, no God
I am mortal
Fuck
