Deacon, Cunninlynguists. Please remain the same. I love the real music you guys have always created through art. But if u guys really need money. I wont be that upset if you sell out. Because theres already an infinite amount of gold out there from you guys. Really all im saying is. Thankyou for your work over the years. You guys are the best. Literally All Time #1
When I say I listen to hip-hop this should be the kind of thing that automatically comes to mind, not the radio shit. Not that Future, Migos absolute nonsense shit

Admittedly I'm no expert - I only got into hip hop about 6 months ago, but I've listened to a pretty significant amount now. Found this track today at 1am and KNEW on first listen with 100% certainty it's my favourite of all I've heard so far. Otherworldly beat, smooth flows and clever wordplay - I have nothing to critique!
The piano really is beautiful as hell isn’t it? I remember being obsessed with this song years ago and then I forgot about it. Just got it recommended tonight and recognised the thumbnail. Literally the first seconds brought me right back to being obsessed with it haha
I felt every lyric on this track. Faith, we treat it like a four letter word While fear, we shout it through the ghettos and burbs Hear me my Lord, come settle my nerves I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe And to the sky where the birds will testify Freedom's a state of mind be free any day or time Reality will make you doubt your actuality The truest fallacy is man can't change how he sees So it's death to reason, it's left the legions Wondering where to pledge allegiance This is my letter to Ephesians, the rest, we need them Through death, the best are leavn
I could be a bit off on this... but... Here is how I decipher this song. (Beautiful work by the way!) [Intro: Deacon] Dearly beloved We are gathered here today to celebrate an electric life Under violet sky I pray you hear our cry Please help us protect what’s right (Amen) - Praying to god to hear what they are about to say and the choices they face ahead of them. [Verse 1: Natti] Gather your thoughts, gather around Painted arrangements mixed from a pallet of sound A casket froze in indigo, royal and profound Many stems like hymns ounce blossomed from ground - Wants every to come and see how far their music has come. But while the reaper is king, we carry the crown We weigh it out, dreaming, screaming or close to even - Even though we all die, we all want to be the center of attention while we are alive. Maybe "selling out" for money is better. In this sense nobody's perfect, nobody is worthless The system's imperfect, maybe we should measure in purpose What is yours? What is mine? When do we serve it? Being hood ain't the absence of good Being square don't make you equal or fair, it's not an equal affair Weak voices can't speak for a share Speak choices with no when or a where - Saying he understands and that we have a reason to be angry, the system is broken. Becoming angry and questioning where we all are in life. Are you aware? I don't think so Unless your cup runneth over and you still sip slow Or guzzle til' nothing, complaining when you don't get mo' See another's glass empty and you don't think poor/pour - Most people dont even see the inequality in the world, they have more than they need and look at other peoples lives and dont feel bad at all. [Chorus: Deacon] The upper room is calling What are we supposed to do? There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place The upper room is calling It appears it's just for you There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place - They feel an internal struggle between "selling out" for money or staying true to their roots. [Verse 2: Deacon] Faith, we treat it like a four letter word While fear, we shout it through the ghettos and burbs - a "Four-Letter word" can be defined as (noun - an obscene word) which they are implying people avoid faith like bad words. Hear me, my Lord, come settle my nerves I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe And to the sky where the birds will testify - Asking for gods forgiveness as he questions these thoughts before him. Freedom’s a state of mind be free any day or time Reality will make you doubt your actuality The truest fallacy is man can’t change how he sees So it’s death to reason, it’s left the legions - We all have freedom in our minds, but reality can make us think otherwise, and its mans biggest down fall to not understand and see that. Wondering where to pledge allegiance This is my letter to Ephesians The rest, we need them Through death, the best are leavin’ - Ephesians deals with topics at the very core of what it means to be a Christian-both in faith and in practice-regardless of any particular problem in the community. This is Deacons final Plea for guidance. [Chorus: Deacon] The upper room is calling What are we suppose to do? - Self explanitory.
I think you nailed it. I like how I knew this, but couldn't quite put it into words like you. Something about the delivery and the just.. sound of it conveys the message without really needing a full "translation" of every line
CunnynLinguists were always strong productionwise and with their flows - and I think they even advanced lyrically if you compare this track to the preceding album

"Violet (The Upper Room)"
[Deacon:]
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today to celebrate an electric life
Under violet sky
I pray you hear our cry
Please help us protect what's right (Amen)
[Scratches - DJ FlipFlop:]
"There ain't nothin' in this world that could take your place"
[Natti:]
Gather your thoughts, gather around
Painted arrangements mixed from a pallet of sound
A casket froze in indigo, royal and profound
Many stems like hymns once blossomed from ground
But while the reaper is king, we carry the crown
We weigh it out, dreaming, screaming or close to even
In this sense nobody's perfect, nobody is worthless
The system's imperfect, maybe we should measure in purpose
What is yours? What is mine? When do we serve it?
Being hood ain't the absence of good
Being square don't make you equal or fair, it's not an equal affair
Weak voices can't speak for a share
Speak choices with no when or a where, are you aware? I don't think so
Unless your cup runneth over and you still sip slow
Or guzzle til' nothing, complaining when you don't get mo'
See another's glass empty and you don't think poor/pour
[Deacon:]
The upper room is calling
What are we supposed to do?
There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place
The upper room is calling
It appears it's just for you
There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place
Faith, we treat it like a four letter word
While fear, we shout it through the ghettos and burbs
Hear me my Lord, come settle my nerves
I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe
And to the sky where the birds will testify
Freedom's a state of mind be free any day or time
Reality will make you doubt your actuality
The truest fallacy is man can't change how he sees
So it's death to reason, it's left the legions
Wondering where to pledge allegiance
This is my letter to Ephesians, the rest, we need them
Through death, the best are leavin'
The upper room is calling
What are we suppose to do?
The upper room is calling
It appears it's just for you
Some people play the victim, some people play the fool
Some people pay the dealer while others pay the dues
I don't know what's realer, the struggle and the strain
Or the guilt that can be built within when making gains
Ain't no cheatin' death, you can't lie to life
Plus everything about you's hiding in these satellites
Outside of the one day that Adam had it right
Humans are parasites, insatiable appetites
"So where do we go from there?" You ask
I think we all trying to figure that out?
One nation under a God kickin' us out
'Cause America took and takes the infamous route
As we state from state to state let's be great again
Let's forget the salient struggle of each alien
Parade after you honor the graves
Of natives, slaves, women, gays
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
Should be mandatory listening
Thankyou from Australia no one comes close you guys are the TRUTH
imagine a tour down here, would be amazing (never gonna happen thou)
Admittedly I'm no expert - I only got into hip hop about 6 months ago, but I've listened to a pretty significant amount now.

There's only a few artist out there that I would put on this level. Thanks for all the amazing work.
One of the greatest hip hop songs of all time..beautiful track
Love this shit, ADDICTED since 2006, love from Norway !
that woman's voice sample that drops during the verses got me in shambles
This track is on a whole other level. It lifts me up everytime. You guys are legends. Thank you.
One of my favorite songs of all time
I felt every lyric on this track.
Faith, we treat it like a four letter word
While fear, we shout it through the ghettos and burbs
Hear me my Lord, come settle my nerves
I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe
And to the sky where the birds will testify
Freedom's a state of mind be free any day or time
Reality will make you doubt your actuality
The truest fallacy is man can't change how he sees
So it's death to reason, it's left the legions
Wondering where to pledge allegiance
This is my letter to Ephesians, the rest, we need them
Through death, the best are leavn
Love from the north. Just found out about your music and been completely obsessed about it. Humbled by your way of expressing yourselves
Big Up from Portugal! Cunnin' you're the best!
What a pleasure to hear you guys! LEGENDS
They been making hits for forever
I could be a bit off on this... but... Here is how I decipher this song.
(Beautiful work by the way!)
[Intro: Deacon]

bad at all.

There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place

[Verse 2: Deacon]

Hear me, my Lord, come settle my nerves

And to the sky where the birds will testify - Asking for gods forgiveness as he questions these thoughts before him.

This is my letter to Ephesians

community. This is Deacons final Plea for guidance.

Excellent interpretation, id like to hear what you thing of the second track on this ep.
Riot! ??
No, no, my bad, i meant "Gone"
Had a moment to smoke and write this morning.
Head into APOSMUSIC's upload of "Gone", dropped my thoughts.
I think you nailed it. I like how I knew this, but couldn't quite put it into words like you. Something about the delivery and the just.. sound of it conveys the message without really needing a full "translation" of every line
Damn, hip hop is alive! Gives me chills!

Dearly beloved

Under violet sky
I pray you hear our cry
Please help us protect what’s right (Amen)
[Scratches: DJ FlipFlop]
"There ain't nothin' in this world that could take your place"
[Verse 1: Natti]
Gather your thoughts, gather around
Painted arrangements mixed from a pallet of sound
A casket froze in indigo, royal and profound
Many stems like hymns once blossomed from ground
But while the reaper is king, we carry the crown
We weigh it out, dreaming, screaming or close to even
In this sense nobody's perfect, nobody is worthless
The system's imperfect, maybe we should measure in purpose
What is yours? What is mine? When do we serve it?
Being hood ain't the absence of good
Being square don't make you equal or fair, it's not an equal affair
Weak voices can't speak for a share
Speak choices with no when or a where, are you aware? I don't think so
Unless your cup runneth over and you still sip slow
Or guzzle til' nothing, complaining when you don't get mo'
See another's glass empty and you don't think poor/pour
[Chorus: Deacon]
The upper room is calling
What are we supposed to do?
There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place
The upper room is calling
It appears it's just for you
There ain't nothing in this world that can take your place
[Verse 2: Deacon]
Faith, we treat it like a four letter word
While FEAR, we shout it through the ghettos and burbs
Hear me my Lord, come settle my nerves
I pray these words bring honor as the heavens observe
And to the sky where the birds will testify
Freedom’s a state of mind be free any day or time
Reality will make you doubt your actuality
The truest fallacy is man can’t change how he sees
So it’s death to reason, it’s left the legions
Wondering where to pledge allegiance
This is my letter to Ephesians, the rest, we need them
Through death, the best are leavin’
[Chorus: Deacon]
The upper room is calling
What are we suppose to do?
The upper room is calling
It appears it's just for you
[Verse 3: Deacon]
Some people play the victim, some people play the fool
Some people pay the dealer while others pay the dues
I don't know what's realer, the struggle and the strain
Or the guilt that can be built within when making gains
Ain't no cheatin' death, you can't lie to life
Plus everything about you’s hiding in these satellites
Outside of the one day that Adam had it right
Humans are parasites, insatiable appetites
"So where do we go from there?" You ask
I think we all trying to figure that out?
One nation under a God kickin' us out
‘Cause America took and takes the infamous route
As we state from state to state let’s be great again
Let’s forget the salient struggle of each alien
Parade after you honor the graves
Of natives, slaves, women, gays
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
[Ending]
Now we will miss your soul
Now we will miss our friend
Now we will miss your soul
Now we will miss our friend
Our love
