Og Sixer – “Mothra Don’t Listen”
(Lo-fi rap) [Intro – soft vinyl crackle, muted kicks, distant moth-wing flutter sample]
Yeah…
She pull up like the sky got heavy…
Mothra in the living room again… [Verse 1]
She walk in the door and the whole room change
Wings of that energy fold around my frame
I’m tryin’ to speak soft, tryin’ to keep it light
But she already landin’, blockin’ out the night
I’m sayin’ “babe I need a second, just a little air”
She hear the words but act like they ain’t even there
I’m underwater in the fabric of her care
Smothered in the love that don’t know how to share
I try to step left, she already on the right
I try to breathe deep, she just turn up the light
Mothra energy, no escape flight
Big soft chaos in the middle of the night [Chorus]
No matter how I try
No matter what I say
She never really listens
Just smothers me the same
Like Mothra in the dark
Wings over my name
I love her to death
But damn she take the whole frame
(Never listen… never listen…) [Verse 2]
I write it in a note, leave it on the sink
I say it in the car, she stare straight at the blink
I lower my voice, I raise it up slow
She answer with a hug that don’t let me go
I’m not even mad, I’m just runnin’ out of space
Her heart so big it take up every place
I’m the little man under the giant moth glow
Tryna find a pocket where my own thoughts can grow
I told her “I need quiet,” she brought me a song
I told her “I need distance,” she pulled me along
Every exit got a wing in the way
Every “please” turn into “come here and stay” [Chorus]
No matter how I try
No matter what I say
She never really listens
Just smothers me the same
Like Mothra in the dark
Wings over my name
I love her to death
But damn she take the whole frame
(Never listen… never listen…) [Bridge – slower, almost whispered over lo-fi keys]
Maybe she think love is holdin’ tighter
Maybe she think quiet is just another fighter
I’m not runnin’ from her… I’m just tryin’ to breathe
But Mothra don’t land soft when she decide to leave me underneath [Final Chorus – layered, slightly more distant]
No matter how I try
No matter what I say
She never really listens
Just smothers me the same
Like Mothra in the dark
Wings over my name
I love her to death
But damn she take the whole frame [Outro – beat fades, soft crackle, one last wing sample]
Yeah…
Og Sixer
Mothra don’t listen…
But she still the one.
