Lyrics Georgia Ave Day - Black Damien

I used to think Jamaicans Were angry
When they conversed
Patois from my eighth Grade teacher
Before I'd book a girl I'd Rehearse
Way before I'd use Couplets in a verse
Within the confines of my Blinds I immerse
Before I role reverse lay up A verse
With minimal curse
I used to record at listen Vision
Across from the old Ujima Book store
Where there were Teachings from Diop
Galore
My father stayed hours for
He trained me a Disciplined youngin
Vibing to Poor righteous Teachers on the floor
Not knowing the eons of Studies
It took to compile these Books
And had our ancestors Hands bloody
DJ Awthentik mixed and Mastered my first Demo
I was broke in one thousand dollar fits From Up against
The wall but I didn't get The memo

Howard hospital mental Health
Black Doctors
I see you I see myself

That I was under the class Of a limo
Before Cashapp and Venmo
House behind Howard U Is where
They going and get it in Moe
Before gentrification and
Don't mute DC crescendo
I remember T where Seventh turned into
Georgia Ave
Where my slimes pitched Slabs
In the drab
And junkies confab
The CVS was a homeless Haven
If you had Eddie's you Were brave then
Foams and ACG no Payless saving
Backyard perform sons Spanking opps
Run saving slim on the Ground shit caved in
Many races
Plenty faces
Melting pot
Trinidad Guyanese
Ethiopian Lebanese
Ghanaian 91 degrees
Kenyan Ugandan
Bahamanian Liberian Turned Ukrainian
Panamanian Puerto Rican
Creole speaking Haitian
All here bonded seeking a Celebration

I see you I see myself
