mortal i (a poem) - triandro lyrics

[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 b*tches
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
f*ck
