Influenced by Prince, D'Angelo, King Krule, Blood Orange. 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. Every song is written late at night on a Fender Jaguar in his childhood bedroom, trying to fill a silence that’s become deafening. This is the sound of memory, lo-fi R&B filtered through Bay Area fog and the ghost of a G-funk cassette tape.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm pulling you up by the root now
Dumping weed killer where our garden used to be
This ain't grief, it's just getting the poison out of me

[Verse 1]
The Spalding is still on the roof of Youth UpRising, right?
I keep rewinding the tape on that last Tuesday night.
(Spoken)
The A/C was busted, air thick with the smell of berbere and exhaust.
You said my branches were growing all tangled and lost.
You were the invasive vine then, climbing my whole damn fence.
Never made a lick of sense.

[Chorus]
I'm pulling you up by the root now
Dumping weed killer where our garden used to be
This ain't grief, it's just getting the poison out of me

[Verse 2]
Saw your brother's story, a flash of your face from Corcoran State.
Same dead-eyed shrug from the day you learned your fate.
(Spoken)
You said, "Geta, it's just pruning," like it was some kinda plan.
I'm still here, picking off aphids with my bare hands.

[Bridge]
“I’m the king of this block,” you laughed, that August before the fall.
Now your name’s just a ghost on a brick wall.

[Outro]
Just getting the poison out.
