"Everyone’s going thru everything."

lyrics

I can’t do it like y’all do
Vomiting information.
So here's my situation:
It ain’t none of your business.
It ain’t nothing special.
Everyone’s going thru something.
Everyone’s going thru everything.

I’ll be fine.

I gots three or four chords.
One of them's weird.
I got a big beat.
No clapping on the one and the three.
And opaque lyrics.
With opaque references.
With Eliot references.
("Hurry up please, it's time.")
And Ellison references.
("I have 1,369.")
And Joni references.
("Help me, I think I'm falling.")

It’s just another song.

Unresolved.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
