    The fact that Deca can rap this good, incorporate spiritual / philosophical themes into his music, and make animated music videos is insane. I just discovered him this week but he's already my favorite artist. Can't wait to check out more of his stuff

    Same, my home girl put me on to him a few days ago. Reminds me a lot of Aesop Rock, but less metaphorical and more straight forward. Did a dive into his full discography after I got sent this one.

    The best part is, he makes his own beats too!!! And the artwork!! Aesop Rock is the only other artist with this level of skill and creativity. He also does his own beats. After that would be Atmosphere. Then El-P. Deca just released a new album bout a week ago. The entire album, EVERY track, is brilliant.

    [Intro: Sample] Every time he opens his mouth, he says 'Oink.' And I cannot accept any lie that is so phonetically out of harmony with my ears The pigs of the power structure, are oinking to the people Get your boot off my neck or I’m gonna try to snatch your leg off [Verse 1: Deca] Lost in the bliss of a lofty wish A pot to piss, pockets thick Pop hits for the populace Pop Cris' to wash the pills down your esophagus On the eve of the apocalypse We got megaton bombs, rocket ships Stop and frisk, and deep-state operatives I've been waiting for the plot to twist I'm an optimist, locked in the grips Of an unseen hand with an axe to grind A vagabond, far from home Following the path toward Avalon When the market thrives and the sharks arrive To tear apart your hide with sharpened knives You can see a world with a darker side Where they harbor lies and the high oligarch resides We're led towards our demise Narcotised by Phantom Menace Got a house and a car to drive A new phone and a smart television with the camera in it In a pandemic land of branded image Show me where the answer is hidden A cancer is living in the minds of men We got wolves in the den, and ants in the kitchen [Chorus] Far as the eye can see There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me Goons with the world in a stranglehold That want control, their mantra goes (Money - Lies) Sharpen swords (Abuse - Power) Guard the doors (Fire - Bullets) Colonize (Terror - War) Call it yours Far as the eye can see There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me Goons with the world in a stranglehold That want control, their mantra goes (Money - Lies) Sharpen swords (Abuse - Power) Guard the doors (Fire - Bullets) Colonize (Terror - War) Call it yours [Verse 2] Broke away from the day to day To take a walk in the citadel In the crown of the human shell in a living hell Where the inner hounds come running At the sound of the dinner bell The world outside reflects Every inner complex in effect below That we project from the depths of a restless soul As the pressure grows for the collective whole I've been in a Heaven on earth In the soft light of a new dawn I’ve been in the realm of the son of darkness Chained to my self-hate when I couldn't move on We oscillate between opposites Locked in the grips of a hidden hand Drawing lines in the sand Trying to make a stand till the lion lays with the lamb in the confines of a wasteland When it's eight below and you stroll Down a vacant road with no place to go It takes a toll, take it slow Try to break the mold and find space to grow To build in the midst of the chaos here In the belly of the beast where they prey on fear Where police on the centipede creep in the streets That'll reach for their piece and (bang) [Chorus] Far as the eye can see There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me Goons with the world in a stranglehold That want control, their mantra goes (Money - Lies) Sharpen swords (Abuse - Power) Guard the doors (Fire - Bullets) Colonize (Terror - War) Call it yours Far as the eye can see There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me Goons with the world in a stranglehold That want control, their mantra goes (Money - Lies) Sharpen swords (Abuse - Power) Guard the doors (Fire - Bullets) Colonize (Terror - War) Call it yours [Outro: Sample] If a man has a good hold on life, the hold gets more, more assured and secure as time goes on That's right, then things should become easier for him During that period when I analysed my dreams and began to get a glimpse of the pattern of my life I saw the errors I had made, and assumed full responsibility for everything

    Use this, remember that we only break from bad past by finding peace in the present. One day, I truly believe that all people will be able to live among one another in peace. It takes recognizing that we are not what they have labeled us, but instead like the Tao natural in our own way. If we use that to rebel, no one can stop us.
