      Your ability to convey a story through lyricism is breathtaking. This song is the one of the best post grime songs released in a long time. Keep up the good work, man.

      Nikola Mikic He’s talking about the epidemic of violence, murders and crime going on in London; “duck this smoke” refers to dodging meaning that you can’t hide from the beef and you’ll end up getting hurt from it, you can’t hide from the truth of this violence or someday you’ll get caught up in it. Smoke is a warning of a fire and it alerts passerby’s, the fire in this case is London and rather than running away from it or ignoring it Knucks is saying to tackle it head on.

    "Can't you see london's burning? And you can't duck this smoke."

    • @cruxmind
      @cruxmind 3 ปีที่แล้ว +160

      @damian To give you a more analytical, opininated reply, "London's Burning" is an old nursery rhyme from 1580 after the Burning of Edinburgh in 1544. The change of lyrics is mostly known for the 1666 great fire of london when london had a really big fire that crossed miles. A lot of people died and it took a lot of time to rebuild the structure that you see today. "You can't duck this smoke" refers to people shooting and stabbing people in london. Its a tight knit community, (metaphorically similar to the houses back in 1666) all the gangs that are beefing each other live 10 minutes away. Since civilians who are not affiliated with a gang live in close proximity from members of other gangs, we can never truly avoid/"duck" the mayhem/"smoke" around us.
      He asks you "can't you see london's burning?" because there's a big crisis with gun and knife crime and it's like people can't see the fire when its crossing the nation.
      You can tell its about gang crime because the next line he says is "Man know about serving, man know bout the pot and stove" which means serving under a gang and cooking crack to sell.
      I hope that makes the imagery clearer. It is just what I intepreted from it and from the replies, londoners know exactly what he was talking about.

      Laura Nwogu I mean the 90s hip hop scene was amazing but in terms of power and money... the current black music market is incomparably better - there’s much better black infrastructure and labels. Look at the examples of U.K. artists signed to black American labels. I guess my point is I’d rather have mumble rap and black money and power than soulful hip hop only. I guess you’d point to the negative impact it (shit rap) has on black culture but there’s still a balance to be had and you can’t tell me J Cole, Kendrick etc aren’t real hip hop fr.

    Knucks made an insane song with such beautiful lyrics that contain a great flow and message to them plus the way the song politically challenges the modern problems in England really makes this song unique. The storytelling is unique and like nothing I have ever seen before. As well at that the beat really compliments the vocals in such a divine way. I've seen comments on this video comparing Knucks to Kendrick Lamar but I think Knucks is his own thing and cannot be compared to anyone. This whole song is amazing.

    THIS SONG IS GENIUS. the start is the continuation of the reporter at the end, when he is arrested. He’s living the life that we know ends with him being arrested and his friend murdering someone. It makes you consider the outcome throughout the verses, gives a whole new perspective to everything he says. at the chorus he ends it with “wait true say i never did...” thats him realising he should’ve stayed at home.

    MOM'S SAYIN STUFF ABOUT OPENIN UP BUT THAT'S WHAT THE BRO'S ARE FOR -- and the fact that he closes the song rapping about the missed calls from his mum and sayin "man i should've went home" is actually a pretty accurate description of a pattern you find way too often in our society. the lack of child-parent connection and children opening themselves up to their homies without realizing that this role is reserved for their parents/adult of trust is root of a lot of crimes happening nowadays.
    You won't find the love and compassion you need to feel some sort of security and intimacy in people that are looking for it themselves/are not yet aware enough of themselves to give it to you in a healthy and mature way. connections like these are as beautiful as they are dangerous because they are instabil and make you dependent on each other.
