Jakima Davis: “Posthumous Anonynous”

Posthumous Anonymous

I’m lost in yesterday
All about my business
Lost in my dreams
The blood’s sucked up
All dry and all bare
Turn the car around

Blaze a mic on fire
I need water to put it out
One heartbreaker
I’m so fresh and so clean
I’m so flossing
Put my gift in a jar

My game is warfare
Neighborhood’s on fire
Call the fireman
I run loose like a dog
While falling to pieces
Still making love

Ready to get loose
I need to say it right
Scream in a paper cup
My million dollars
Spent on building coffins
Martians in the sky
