Lyrics and their relation to urban culture:
“I’m tryna turn this life around but it all comes down to the way I’ve been feeling” – This line shows that Koj may be living a bad lifestyle, and struggles to change according to his mood.
“I’m still smoking the loud, feel it now cos my hearts still bleeding”- This line shows how the narrator struggles with substance abuse, due to emotional damage.
“I love the feeling of risking my freedom”- This line refers to the stereotypical view of the urban, gritty lifestyle, referencing to criminal activities.
“In a bad mood give me tattoos, cos I guess that’s the way I done self-harming”- This line reflects the hardships of an urban lifestyle, and shows different ways of coping.
I like the cover art for this song as it uses a mono colour effect, with blue being the main focus. I think the art really passes the emotion that the song also conveys to the listener.
