In a bathtub where the water
Doesn’t come up all the way
Only about three inches
You learn humility

Humility is me not knowin’ what I’m doin’
Humility is when I play it by ear
I’m not a try-hard, a wannabe god or cult leader
Humility is at the service of the other
Humility is at the service
Of the brother

Three inches is too much
You’ll get used to being in hot water
Then reemerge in a room where the apartment’s heat is broken
I know humility
It’s November 2024

Humility is knowin’ we all follow rеason
Humility is rememberin’ wе all love lovers of reality
I’m not a try-hard—a wannabe god or cult leader
Humility is at the service of the whisper
Humility is at the service
Of the unfuckable

It’s called the humility of merely
Being a human (it’s called equality)
It’s called the humility of always
Rememberin’ you’re human (Mitch?)
It’s called equity
Humility isn’t an image
You put on for power
Humility is powerlessness
Humility is powerlessness
Humility isn’t a front
You put on to weather Pepsi’s hour
Humility generates Pepsi flavors
Humility generates pepsi patterns

Put on a show for me, Babylon
Put on your sneakers and dance for me

Humility is rememberin’ pride is Satanic
Humility is rememberin’ we all follow moral gravity
I’m not a try-hard, a wannabe god or cult leader
Humility is at the service of the inkling
Humility is at the service
Of the unfuckable too

Of the unfuckable too
(Of the unfuckable too)
