Omavi
Mavi Lyrics

Way too much to get out on this page
I have a lot to say, but it can't be fully expressed in writing.

Diamond from Dallas I cut her
I left a relationship with a woman from Dallas who I held in high value, like a diamond.

Breathing espousing my pain
Speaking out about my struggles and suffering.

Sweeping my highs undercover
Suppressing my positive feelings and experiences.

I been sleep and lost count of the days
I have been emotionally numb and haven't been keeping track of time.

Leap for me, bound for my brothers
I am taking risks for myself and for the benefit of my siblings.

Squeak past the scythe for the day
Managing to avoid death for another day or moment.

Receiving the crown from my mother
Being recognized by my mother as worthy of praise or honor.

Beacon out of speakers sound like grief in front of town hall
My music is a form of expression that feels like a cry for help.

A proud loud lost ass nigga afraid to sound off
I struggle with confidence despite projecting a strong image.

Now you gotta hear about how much the bubble down cost
People who didn't care before now want to know the details of my success and how much I am worth.

And you gotta hear about the trouble loving brown has brought
I face discrimination and criticism for having brown skin and for who I choose to love.

Numbers on mental healthcare
Acknowledging the importance of mental health and therapy.

Blunders on my skin it's scraped and bitten singed by hellflare
My skin has been scarred and damaged due to difficult experiences and trauma.

Known since elementary they building a hell meant for me
I have experienced discrimination and mistreatment since I was young, and it seems as though society is designed against me.

Niggas couldn't tip me off my balance we got strength
People have tried to break me, but I have inner strength and resilience.

Know these niggas love comparisons but baby I ain't him
People like to compare me to others, but I am my own person with my own unique experiences.

These niggas also loving hesitance I hate the standing still
Others may be hesitant and indecisive, but I am impatient and motivated to keep moving forward.

But I'm still standing still will brandish iron fist
Even when I'm not actively making progress, I am still strong and ready to fight for what I believe in.

Real manic, still will manage rocking ship
I am dealing with intense emotions but am still capable of taking control and managing my life.

Setting low standards in the throes of banishing my fears
I am setting simple goals for myself to overcome my fears.

When your ideal like feel like abandoning what's near
When striving for perfection, it's easy to neglect the things closest to us.

To your chest plate I got rest ranging in my ears
Music is a comfort for me when I'm feeling burdened or overwhelmed.

On my best day I got stress anchoring the kid
Even when things are going well, I still have significant stress and challenges to deal with.

Gotta let the sun talk, see it all clearer
I need to let go of my worries and anxieties and see things positively.

Several times I almost made my dawg a pallbearer
I have faced life-threatening situations and worried for the safety of my loved ones.

Several times I made a dartboard of my face
I have been self-destructive and have a tendency to blame myself when things go wrong.

But now the heart sores is sharpening my aim and now all serious
Going through difficult experiences has made me more focused and determined to succeed.

Gotta keep y'all near us
I need to stay close to my friends and family for support.

Cause it's life in my belly, knife in my belly got my all leery
I am anxious and suspicious about the difficulties of life.

My stripes is a testament y'alls is accessory all showy
The scars and experiences I carry are proof of my strength and character, while others' achievements are just superficial.

Steady making appearances, slave to your peers cause they all knowing
Others may be focused on impressing their peers and catering to their opinions, but I am true to myself.

All growing handing off to reaper what we all sowing
We are all responsible for the consequences of our actions, and in the end, death will come for all of us.

Life my greatest teacher and my preacher and my opponent
Life has taught me valuable lessons and challenged me, forcing me to grow and become better.

What you posed to think of yourself
What is expected of us in how we view ourselves.

When all the reasons for thinking you worth believing in is all going
When all the things that you believed made you worthy of respect and confidence slip away.

But staying close enough just to hurl reminders at you
Remaining in someone's life just to criticize them and remind them of failures and shortcomings.

Had to close the book not to be dishonest with you
I had to end a relationship to be honest with myself and my partner.

You made me open up now I'm under fire listen
Someone made me vulnerable and now I feel exposed and criticized for it.

Stained my opus underlined in underlying tension
Something has tarnished my greatest work, revealing deeper issues beneath the surface.

Verse-girl problems I couldn't make up
I am facing relationship issues that are too complex and difficult to manufacture.

My brothers yeah I need them couldn't let them change up
My siblings mean a lot to me and I can't let them become someone they're not.

Damily having dreams that don't never wake up
My family has lost hope or desire for something they once wanted.

I ain't plan to ever have to see my necklace hanged up
I never wanted to face the danger and violence that comes with wearing expensive jewelry.

Ayo first girl problems
I am facing difficulties in a romantic relationship.

I was chasing hearses finna burden my mama
I was close to involving myself in dangerous, potentially deadly activities that would have hurt my mom.

Finna leave the serpents to encourage my patnas
I plan to leave dangerous situations to protect my friends from getting hurt.

Love was at the table had to change up my posture
I had to change who I was and re-examine what love meant to me to make a relationship work.

Death was at my door but it was from my own knocking
I was responsible for my own destructive behavior that led to me being in a dangerous situation.

Met him at the porch was finna jump w no conscience
I was ready to end it all without thinking about the consequences.

Looking in the mirror make the spittle flow nauseous
Seeing myself in the mirror makes me feel disgusted or sick.

I was finna end it all the end of rope caught me
I was ready to take my own life, but something stopped me at the last second.

This is Omavi
This song is my personal expression of my struggles and experiences.
