Another collaboration between QuintusKing and rapper Luke Noone (aka HoodieLow), after their last masterpiece, See This Through, back in August 2020.

Luke has come back with his poetic bars and wordplays, this time delivering powerful messages - one of them calling out racism, which we are sadly still seeing. With a melancholic beat sampled by QuintusKing, Luke raps about human history and life, and the truth that there are people still fighting against unfairness and wars and society problems.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

A door opened, maybe with explosive flash,
Maybe with a hand, we don’t know but what we wrote will get you damned,
Now let’s begin, I still don’t understand...
Now...the pressure building, the experts said that it netted billions,
Present sediment next to their children, moons to follow,
And a neighbor as a planet, patient and then soon a problem
When some humans, came upon them from some stupid we made all us
...A pond with scum done got some sun, and father son, looked odd to one another
Walking out that very water looking merry, wanting
More than we done had, we want air and less of sand
Bones in stones from our own residence and again we guess it’s with evidence
This time...evolving, we got time..till our coffin, uh
Red flowers and rolls, had gave us power and control
And then some cowards want it all, and made some towers with patrols
And then by hour that made war, I guess we saw it all before
Bloodbaths stain on pages over ages, marked by
Pain displayed as dangerous like a rock, a spear, a cannon, then a gun,
I guess a lot will fear the damage but it’s done
We learned to write, it's exciting about our might and our
Lighting inside a bottle, inviting more of a liking
In invention for the scholars...Getting medicine and polishin ideas
About our science and getting an ID highest, uh
Yep
Based on production of melanocytes, and longitude and
Latitude we cast a fire...In our tubes that cast the fired
To an afterlife, that is so hellish of our choosing that we
Tell ourselves no human of what’s left of who we’re shooting, uh
I need a moment but that’s all we’re truly given
Put a suit on for a wedding and the ending, hope a difference that
There's always more of first, and there's money in her purse
Mother, father, gave me problems, but they also gave me worth
I made some of them my own, I made a sum and I made church


[Hook 1]

Us kids got issues and talk until it’s late,
That’s right, that’s right
We saw what they're missing and thought, and got to the change
That’s right, that’s right
I got to thinking on a Sunday bout what's messed up on a Monday
I got food up in my tummy, but... am I living lovely uh
Only couple minutes that we got inside our days and
That’s life, that’s life....
Top 5 what we yearning, but number 5 still cursing
And number one's not perfect, there is love worth searching
Different days I'm a different kid, this the play that gets us big
Tom Hanks, from Michigan, I’m greatly ignorant
Time is changes, switching watch and from the vine, and tik and tok
And make use wine and swish and wash, and how’s that flavor of the week?
Kiss my baby, baby cheek, then watch him say his prayers, and have his
Tears and marry, bury me, this year they’re hearing me


[Verse 2]

And here we are today, hearing the... audio often of something awful,
A fate in my optics but outta range, I hear the shot
That’s heard around the globe, and just like concord in the thought
It’s not the first but from a line of fires that burned a list of
Names couldn’t list in under thirty minutes, and shit that’s pain
Generations of racism made for unexpectedly cold hits...
Like May Weather, George Floyd, blame victims
Came a day that made symptoms as some anger based whimpers..
I’m talking blunt or talking blunts, cause it's often a all a lot
... Like our cars are parked in drive, always ready for some job yeh
Couple k in wage done cause some days and lots a pay, and I would
Say so personally, about ten thousand hours, and two hundred thousand dollars,
I was often lied to they said that you could be
Anything, but anything, don’t penny bring, these penny’s dreams
Make pennies, only... please, these kids got Xanax in their sleeves yep
Yeah
But we got good and we got great, we made books from all our fates
A couple cooks a couples plate... holders, what’s your focus, ay?
Cancer curing, ampicillin, for infection of our problems
What we're talking, we are makin zebra mussels under aches,
What we suffer makes us greater, what’s the subject generated
Of the thoughts this generation? Somethings off? We’ll get to change it
Even with the gravity, this planet yeah we stand for,
Off the camera, give you samples like a sams club, as a ampoule uh
Medicine is evident as everything from pa-rades to the
Social media posting rage from coast to deeper cause
... We hold the keys to peace with us, A mixing pot, trick or try
A treat you eat with us, these kids on block, need sweets for once
First respondent for our first world problems, third or worse
For worse as third world, that’s ironic third from sun, but call em not us uh
Camel broke its god damn back, carried, camels, coke and
Dope, so we could laugh, let's back to track with nothin bad yeh


[Hook 2]

Us kids got issues and talk until it’s late,
That’s right, that’s right
We saw what they're missing and thought, and got to the change
That’s right, that’s right
I got to thinking on a Sunday bout what's messed up on a Monday
I got food up in my tummy, but... am I living lovely uh
Only couple minutes that we got inside our days and
That’s life, that’s life....
Time is ticking, can’t slow it down, many tried, got holes in ground
Give a ticket, not slowin down, make a fiction history now
Past and present we hold it down, past is present we know it now
Lastin ethics we growin out, pessimist we pesticide
Tell em I fuck with the now, this is that child, that kept it by clock
Thinking bout giving it back by the hour, thinking bout paying back all of my debt
All of that sand they shoved in my glass, I was a kid and still sat on my ass
Thinking bout dimes not thinking bout class, it’s about time I think about that
