About Waterproof Mascara
“Waterproof Mascara” is the fifth track on billy woods's ninth studio album, GOLLIWOG. The beat, by producer Preservation—with whom woods worked on his 2022 album, Aethiopes—sets the tone with its insistent sample of a woman crying. In what are arguably some of the darkest verses on the album, woods paints harrowing scenes of childhood domestic abuse and its aftereffects years later on the adult mind, including a drive towards escapism and suicidal ideation. .
Waterproof Mascara Lyrics
[00:00.46] Guess I must be getting old or something
[00:17.31] Watched my mother cry from the top of the stairs
[00:19.96] Scared when it came through the walls, I covered my ears
[00:22.76] Half hoping you know who would die
[00:25.03] Then he did (Surprise)
[00:28.38] Careful what you wish for, might just get that shit
[00:31.14] Mom showed us where she kept the passports hid
[00:34.59] The king's dead and your uncles are not our friends
[00:37.52] How many times I gotta tell you kids?
[00:39.74] It's us in this room, that's it
[00:47.19] Don't trust anyone
[00:53.36] Don't trust anyone
[00:54.93] Sometimes it's all you can do not to do it like Sylvia Plath
[00:58.73] My house full of gas, my kids cry then laugh right after
[01:02.68] Psychopaths, I watched the slave cry for his master
[01:05.96] Waiting for him to break kayfabe, but the poor bastard
[01:08.86] Just sat there, supper uncut
[01:11.58] You can't make this shit up, but you welcome to try
[01:14.73] I ain't go, but niggas told me it wasn't a dry eye
[01:20.12] Weed had me paralyzed, hit it again off automatic
[01:26.11] Weed had me paralyzed, hit it again off automatic
[01:32.64] Forging firewood with a baby crying in the forest
[01:35.66] Don't you go looking for it
[01:38.12] Just right how the white girl like her porridge
[01:40.72] Get scalded, scarfing out the wrong plate
[01:44.13] Wake up, bitch, you in the wrong place
[01:51.31] She sings for her and she isn't here
[01:54.17] She cries for herself, surprised at the question
[01:56.82] Like, "Who else deserve these tears?" (Who else?)
[01:59.14] I know you wasn't thinking it was you
[02:03.74] I know you wasn't thinking it was you
[02:10.09] Weed had me paralyzed, hit it again off automatic
[02:43.85]
