EXXON MOBIL

once you x’d out, when I sign off and peace out
sexed out, I don’t stretch it out like textile
blip in a timeline ducking a digital projectile
dirty fingerprints, sweaty fingertips in the palm of my hand
I mean quit it, two strikes dos equis
oil spill so toxic, barely made it out and covered in sludge
graced the cover of nat-geo in a gold frame emaciated
shivering in cold pain and at the same time emancipated
I’m free, take a rain check a stroll down a memory
lane so laden with mines,
what the hell am I supposed to do but cut off the lines
communication ever since everything is fine,
this young jellyfish done grew a brand new spine
and why? I don’t get it, some brothers wanna keep’em around
hovering like drones, fake friendship clones
styling in sheep clothes, fine merino wool
wolf hide underarmor, cashmere karma
yup, i know what you did last summer
I let it go… and so I did many moons ago.
get the funk outta town with this merry-go-around
with the tentacles texting outta blue, like who?
looking for any kinda sign of life, rover on mars
moveon.org to another planet, dammit

exxon mobil, nothin but trouble
keep’em at bay except the one I stay with
past and present, shouldn’t mix the two, dude
you gotta keep’em separated

relationship abandoned even by bandits
not gonna comment on extent of the damage
hull breach, oh please know the silence is golden
…the pause is potent, heart melting, molten
never negative, call me kelvin absolute
I seldom have the time to be stuck in a loop
but when I do my brain feels like I’m squeezin’ the tube
the last bit of it, bitter-sweet sentiment a hint of cinnamon
by any means I want to get away from’em
the phone is like a guard turned a watchdog
hodgepodge of info mixed to take the focus and direct it
to an ad inside an app wants you to add instead of filter
you yap until you’re tired and you take a nap
remember when you didn’t have to text her back
or never had to see or hear again and that’s that
every time a ghost walks onto the top stack
I’m in the middle of a thought process, now off track
out of respect, I wanna keep my closet clean
otherwise the skeletons are bound to cause a scene
and it ain’t gonna be pretty, definitely no pity
but if you could avoid it altogether, why not?
and if the ticket can be voided even after it’s bought
you can certainly, return the merchandise to the store
next time you wouldn’t try to bargain, something you can’t afford
trust me on this one, so like I said before

exxon mobil, dust in the rubble
keep’em at bay except the one I stay with
past and present, shouldn’t mix the two, dude
you gotta keep’em separated

exxon mobil, nothin but trouble
keep’em at bay except the one I stay with
past and present, shouldn’t mix the two, dude
you gotta keep’em separated
