bonifay
month of may
that summer sun game
rolling on with that
cardboard box life, I'm
looking at these girls like I ain’t in
need of a wife, got that
high school game on lock, don’t even
know what that means, but I
say it ‘cause I hope it’ll get me some
cred with my teens. I still
search for her who holds in her fists
the end of her sleeves, that
magic girl, living in au-
tumn and in the leaves, and my
culture says, “naw, man, you
better stay away,” or
else, “go for it homie, you got
nothing to pay.” I ain’t
getting nothing useful from the
actions of my peers, they be
drinking or else driving or else ab-
staining from the beers. y’all are
black, huh? y’all
got that good genetics, get these
white girls dancing, I wanna
up the frenetic-
ness, it’s becoming static, and I
think that’s problematic, my
jam is in the club, my re-
ligion the ascetic, right
making time en-
ough to bide, I’m
killing it, I’m killing it
you’re my Holy Spirit, baby,
you’re my Holy Spirit
now let’s
move from the general down
to particulurr, we know we
all got problems, but I’m sure
that you would prefer
yours to mine: the up-
ward climb, the broken bine,
the pain sublime, the
rushing time. now I’m
thinking of her, and wond'ring
what we could have been.
whatever happened to us
lying on the trampoline?
are you feeling I’m pro-
xemic and yet still not seen?
I can’t compete with him, I
guess I’ll let y’all be. it’s a
quandary, man, it’s true I’m
fighting for my life. an-
xiety keeps on inflicting
me with that knife wound, it's
all blowing up, this shit is
right in my face, but three
months, we be gone, I’ll for-
get it anyway. hashtag i’m
smarter than you, hashtag
better than you hashtag
better than all of your little
friends could ever do, I ain’t
trying to fuck around, I’m just
stating a fact. holding a
grudge for 50 months? yeah, I’m
faster than that
aint’ got enough in my
cup to fill it
in my cup to fill it
you’re my Holy Spirit, baby,
you’re my Holy Spirit
making time en-
ough to bide, I’m
killing it, I’m killing it
you’re my Holy Spirit, baby,
you’re my Holy Spirit
