The “Talkin My Shit” Written Mixtape

Track 12

Just Ask Me

That’s what he tells me
As I wade in the muddled ruins of the latest misunderstanding
Where I’m chastised for thinking too much
Where every word
Action
Phrase
Thought
Has been cherry-picked to deflect confusion while also taming my beast
The one causing me to trip over my own tongue
Just ask me
As you conclude the discussion right in the middle
Sit on the median and watch me drive on
Confused in my own reach
Playing catch-up on the away field while home is already on the bus
Just ask me
How…
How when you’re already done speaking
And I’m left with your conclusions
