I’d like to give a little back story on this song. It’s called “Black Oak” because I wrote it in the Black Oak Tavern in Oneonta, New York. I was at an open mic and I was going to perform but this cute girl started talking to me and I started to like her and I was like FUCKKKK because I was kinda insecure about my lyrics. I had some bars about sex and depression and whatever (lol) and I was afraid she wouldn’t like me if she heard me rap so I ended up not performing that night. I sat there and wrote these lyrics instead, half of them are basically about being mad at myself for chickening out and the other half are me talking to this girl I liked. It was hella lame I didn’t perform that night but I got these lyrics to this cool song so it worked out. Plus I’ve performed this song live I think...three times since then? Four times since then? So I say I’ve redeemed myself for it lol.
lyrics
Girl, You can’t be too nice it’s too risky
I’m feelin small like a mouse, like Minnie
I just wanna throw in the towel this is simply
More than I ever truly wanted out of all this
I wish I was, somebody else, anywhere but here
Different time zone, maybe a whole different year
I’m ashamed of what I think of
Fountain of Youth
I can’t imagine wanting to drink some
This is my life
And I wish it was just all black
Like the underside of eyelids
All those people holdin up they nose, they sinus
I just wonder what it’s like to be in that experience
To feel like you’re better
I feel like I’ll never
Speak into existence all that shit that I thought I could
All I got is this ink, like an octopus
Dreaming of the pink, tryna titanic sink
I don’t think that I would like me if I met me
I don’t know if a female will ever get me
I don’t know if I could ever forget these
Anxieties that make me feel cheap like pennies
Girl, You can’t be too nice it’s too risky
I’m feelin small like a mouse, like Minnie
I just wanna throw in the towel this is simply
More than I ever truly wanted out of all this
I’m afraid she won’t like me cause of the shit I say in my songs
Dream of her touch to put my thoughts on pause
I feel old
I reformed a lot in my mind I pray soon I won’t
X2
Girl, You can’t be too nice it’s too risky
Yeah
