Lyrics
That Tuesday, 8:14 AM, the Hoover Elementary gym.
You trace the scuff mark on your left boot's rim.
Smell of floor wax and that cold November rain,
Trying to prune the anger growing in your brain.
[Chorus]
You give 'em that polite weed smile,
Roots cracking up the linoleum tile.
Just hoping it's all worth the while,
For a little while.
[Verse 2]
The woman in the floral coat adjusts her pin.
"It's good you people finally care," she says with a thin grin.
You wanna rewind the tape, say something clean and sharp,
But just nod and think of Ababa's dusty garden harp.
[Chorus]
You give 'em that polite weed smile,
Roots cracking up the linoleum tile.
Just hoping it's all worth the while,
For a little while.
[Bridge]
Is this patience or just root rot?
The sun comes through a dusty spot.
You hear the hum, you see the wire,
A single seed on a funeral pyre.
[Outro]
You feed the paper in the slot.
The only *ishi* you ever got.
About Idris Veil
Idris Veil still lives in the West Oakland house his Ethiopian grandmother, Ababa, raised him in. He pays the bills working at a coffee shop just to be near the familiar smell of her home country.

This is the sound of memory, lo-fi R&B filtered through Bay Area fog…
