this wasn’t even the project i was stalling for with the last video, i just made this in 6 days like everything else. praying this one does not do numbers so i never have to write rap lyrics again
toki pona clarification: “jule“ is a nimisin meaning unstable, erratic, to waver, etc. i thought it was somewhat commonly known but it is extremely not
english clarification: “fishes“ is, indeed, a word, referring to multiple species of fish
wav instrumental vocals: (i rendered the vocals to 2 tracks so i could distort both of them without them clashing)
bandcamp:
spotify:
give me your hard-earned money:
LYRICS:
mi ken nena e telo sijelo tan weka mute
sina o awen, sina o kute
sina tawa lon telo mi la, sina jule
better keep an eye out before it’s too late
looking unstable, see you shaking from the waist up
telling at the table with your hand dealt face-up
never stood a chance, ‘cause i got that pocket ace luck
mi en sina sama ala; mi la, sina weka
kala suli wawa kon kiwen ike lukin lon
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
fill it up, up to the brim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
think you’ve got your catch hook line and sinker?
think again, ‘cause blood is always thicker
a
kala suli wawa kon kiwen ike lukin lon
mi lukin e selo, think i’d like to bite down
sina sike e telo, looking like you might drown
looking like a cracked bone, tearing through your nightgown
rising to a black throne, i don’t need a white crown
you don’t want a fight now, got no bite and all bark
think you’re swimming with the fishes but you’re dealing with the shark
sina o, sona e ni: i keep moving nonstop
at the bottom of the sea, it’s me who’s on top
kala suli wawa kon kiwen ike lukin lon
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
fill it up, up to the brim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim now
think you’ve got your catch hook line and sinker?
think again, ‘cause blood is always thicker
