drill anthem "Strange Human Emotion Called Fear" where Louis uses drill inspired visuals and heavy production to disguise a deeper message about what youth in the UK today have to be paranoid about: violence & racism, climate change & their future and corrupt government in a high energy track.
lyrics
STRANGE HUMAN EMOTION CALLED FEAR (LYRICS)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing (fear’s such a strange thing)
VERSE
Yea, Uh,
My boy got stabbed got me paranoid
Climate change got me paranoid
People in office got me paranoid
We ain’t happy make a gang of noise
The world turning more artificial
Still feel I’m the real deal
But that shit now past residual
Gone the days where a meal deal
Would set you back 2 quid dude
Too unconfident to quit dude
Tryna get a foot in the door
Fair enough to ID when the bitch rude
Your girl want me & won’t miss you
The community won’t miss you
Your history won’t miss you
I make paper you’re tissue
Hate to break it your issues
Small
So your platform is misused
All…
The topics you could put spit too
Fool
Take off all my cool,
Like!
Revolution,
Revolution
Protect the trees that bare the fruits n,
They killing our homes
They killing our soil, cutting down right where the roots live!
Colonials just fear our bruises!
And some of us just fear to use them!
Do we live in fear?
Or do we make a future?
Who’s got…?
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing? (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing? (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing? (fear’s such a strange thing)
Fear, Fear, Fear’s such a strange thing? (fear’s such a strange thing)
Ohhhhh
Good Lord, good Lord, good Lord!
I feel we’re ‘bout to fall!
Good Lord, good Lord, good Lord!
I feel I’m ‘bout to fall!
(EARTH!)

Great album! A crossover jazz-r'nb-african trip from continent to continent. London does it again. Nyubian Twist with more jazz overtones. John Woodward
