4. GODS TIMING

recorded by Jboi at Basewood Studios, DTLA

set fire to all my people
ive misstepped
mistreated, lost some bad people 
mute nothing, i’m potent im potent im potent
im fussing with the locusts
im nothing without closure 
midsommar midsommar
something strange in the field
midsommar, midsommar
things are not what they appear 

electricity rampant
invisible damage 
insidious stanning 
be still in the passion 
bleed will and advantage 
seek skill
im killing men for your playlists
treat amends with a handgun 
no sun in the Hamptons 
no fun in the anguish 
just thrill 
placebo’s the evil, void pill
put a durag on the microphone, make you a wave
rip something off your body, help make it a stage 
thin line between making you brave and making grenades
the tanning of america, the sap in the shade
the laughless in the paradox 
insecurity at equinox, body shame 
mind slips, body blamed
throw a stone and promote your fingerprints 
be brave 

set fire to all my people
ive misstepped
mistreated, lost some bad people 
mute nothing, i’m potent im potent im potent
im fussing with the locusts
im nothing without closure 
midsommar midsommar
something strange in the field
midsommar, midsommar
things are not what they appear 

i am no Ozymandias, jabroni 
im riding with it, riding with it slowly 
im from the low key peep, i’m from the nose bleeds
im from the fear of police 
im from crowds in the lonely 
risktakers for macaroni 
im from a Twitter feed
Im from the 7th story 
of a building across Woodhull 
Im from the glory 
Group chat black Gods, blue black past scars
who’s that calling the crackhead mom?
Who’s that ex Hollywood star Sasquatch 
Who wasn’t seen since they last masked him with passive parts
Treat me like a national pride
Blink twice, see Rada black out from the norm
I remember the day before I was born 
I remember those who cut me off when I was torn 
I remember the pauses
Ego endorphins 
Fuck it let’s get a billion and feed all us
Fuck it, I seen the light entíce often
Los santos me quieren más que el diablo, I’m off it

Blood Brovas

Ahead

Transport yourself to the 1800s UK, how would we all cope?

---

(Verse 1 – The 1800s)
Yo, step back, welcome to the scene
Eighteen-something, streets ain’t clean
Got a toothache? That’s your doom
'Cause the barber’s also runnin' the surgery room

No NHS, just a priest and a prayer
If your leg’s infected—saw it off right there
Cholera in the tap, soot in your lung
Kids workin' shifts 'fore their teeth had sprung

Vote? Only if you’re male, land and pale
Women silent, stuck on society’s rail
Rights? Limited. Wages? Pitiful
Die at forty, that's statistically typical

No bin men, rats ran the game
Smoke stacks rising, sky full of blame
Wash once a week, maybe—if lucky
Life was cheap, short, dirty, and mucky

(Hook)
Now you moan 'bout a crack on your iPhone screen?
You got central heat, Wi-Fi, and vaccines
Look around, don't get it misunderstood
You might not feel rich—but you haven’t had it so good

You got rights, got voice, got time to complain
While your great-great-gran birthed ten in the rain
Food in the fridge and the water runs clean
That’s luxury, fam—nineteenth never seen

(Verse 2 – Zooming In on Then vs Now)
Got taxed back then? Yeah—but no say
Just a duke and a lord takin' what they may
Today you whine when the rates get bumped
But at least the pound ain’t locked in a trunk

Wanna talk rights? Try zero, zilch
No safety laws when you're workin’ that mill
Fall in a loom? Your arm's the cost
Boss shrugs once, productivity lost

You tweetin' stress from your ergonomic chair
But they were breathin' coal dust in the tenement air
Childbirth back then? A coin toss fight
Now you got midwives, pain meds, and light

(Hook)
Yeah, you're vexed 'cause the Wi-Fi’s slow
But nobody's typhoid sick in the flat below
We got flaws, but let’s get it understood
Compared to the past—you haven’t had it so good

Netflix, Uber, Deliveroo drop
You got ten ways to earn without leavin' your block
Universal vote, clean code of law
Back then? Jail for stealin’ bread from a store

(Bridge – Spoken Word Style)
No antibiotics.
No social safety net.
No weekends.
No childhood past the age of ten.

And if you were poor?
Forget it.
You lived, worked, died—
and maybe made a mark as soot on a chimney wall.

(Final Verse – Message to the Present)
So check your blessings in the modern light
Ain’t sayin' life’s perfect, but respect the fight
We stand on the bones of the ones who bled
For the rights and the dreams you inherit instead

So next time you sigh 'cause your bus runs late
Think of walkin’ miles just to earn that plate
Gratitude’s power, let’s get that in the blood—
'Cause truth is, my G, you haven’t had it so good.


Haven’t Had It So Good

WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, WAS IT WORTH IT?
