about

Odd is a track off Part 1 of QuintusKing's first full-length album, "Embodiment of Sound".

A collaboration between QuintusKing and MC Akin Yai (former member of American hip-hop group CYNE), this track features a dark and subtle beat backing Akin's powerful verses. Odd is a stream of consciousness assembly of rhymes touching on oddities in personality, nature, characters, and social mechanics. It is also a lament for the current state of the hip-hop industry and rappers' lack of growth.

lyrics

Hook:
Bunch of phonies
Aww Klaus Nomi
Blank stares
No fear
Well y'all know me
That means I’m quite off
I mean quite God
I defy odd
Yea that slap hard

Verse 1:
Here's what you asked for
Stamps on the passport
From Benin to these Malaysian asphalts
I don't seen’em all and waved bon voyage
Soul flying abroad
Aboard on a wayward course
I came from greatness
Before displacement
Non-complacent reparative arrangement
They are in order
For sons and daughters
I told y’all to fight
survive the slaughter
Fuck the radio
I'm voodoo in your stereo
Am I a GOAT?
For sure that’s no maybe yo
A go-getta
That’s so meta
Deep in me hues
The blues are mo' better
Sleep in the school
They snooze
I know better
Sheep to the music
You's a Coretta
Follow King
No creep or hollow thing
I sorrow sing
Like a dream I’m conjuring

*Hook

Verse 2:
It’s a charade
A guessing game that plays
Out in the open
Every character’s a slave
Glass box emotion
You are clearly entertained
Cloud is you token
This is yearly purple rain
Song and dance give a fuck
What you are playing
You sing and dance
Give a fuck what you are saying
I am an African Prince in real life
So fantasy pales compared to mine's, right?
In hindsight it’s by design light
Was sent here
To guide the blind
Divine right
God is aiming
Blao
Who put the pain in
Do not trust a rapper
They cap and entertainment
Sponsored by the devil
They flex
I’m edutainment
Gonzo I’m a rebel at best in my lamenting
The maturation
Of us I’m representing
Cuz 45 in a gang
That’s quite depressing
50 years a teen
God bless ya 2nd childhood
Peace Florida
Don’t forget Rosewood
Out

*Hook
