about

The most classic boom-bap sort of beat on the album, thanks to the work of yrstrly, fellow Canadian beatmaker. Wéye gives a softer, more mellow performance than other tracks on the album, and it is overall a nice amalgamation of styles.

lyrics

Zambezi

Noguano, Wéye, Reel Deal, uh
Don't feel the same when I don't meditate
Feelin' so dope that I self medicate
From needle to record I'm pushing this weight
Callin' me shine 'cause I don't know the shade
Blade, my mental stay sharp as a razor (yuh)
My haters aware that I'm major (yuh)
I got the power like Rangers
I'm blazin' this paper, that ash on my blazer
Jacket
I got a style and you jackin'
I keep it grindin', you slackin', it's tragic
Mackin' your chick for some mac 'n' cheese
She can't cook, we at Applebee's
I got a fat tip for the waitress
Told all the women in my life they sacred
That's not a big statement
Sometimes I'm trapped in the matrix
Feet in the ground but my head is so weightless, I made this
All my creations made me
All of the people I met made me me
All of my waves are wavy, all of my mind is crazy-zy-zy
Greed, my ego ain't gettin' no feed
Weed, it kills all my problems indeed
Seeds, I'm plantin' my seeds
Try to be there for my people in need, and we might disagree
But what is a family?
What is a fantasy?
What is a fallacy?
Everybody askin', why are you asking me?
Randomly, living this travesty
Lovin' this tragedy
Losin' my sanity
My smile is a canopy, my mind is a balcony
I'm bond in analogies
God gave me anatomy
Humanity, mortality, on so many planets B
And I didn't plan to see
The universality
That you and I happened to be, believe
Believe, yeah
