about
The thing that often separates a good song from a great song is the emotion that the song elicits from the listener, and if you look at music over the decades, the break up song is the quintessential topic.
"Future Knots" is not the first hiphop break up song, and probably not the last. One thing thats different in this case though, is the song is not all "oh baby baby please", so it's actually a bit less on the break up, and more on the accepting and moving on.
Written and recorded while on tour in Dublin, Ireland, beat maker G Frequency solidifies a rugged beat with tight chanting keys to creating something that is hypnotizing, unique, unusual and just chill enough to keep your head nodding!
Its often said that "break ups make great art".
Go listen.
lyrics
Verse I
I'm at the tip of the line again
I don't drink heinekens
I rap to knock loans out
I miss firozee wit her toes out
First joint wit my sons yo
Chillin with Phil what up Mondo,
Neef Roddy Rod Sharif never no beef that's kin folk
We spit it how they like it wit a pen stroke- certified
No longer can u split just sit back...and and get
Get get get get it
5 years we built up,
A castle with no hassles to get her off the pill
We the rulers in the hills! Ha!
They sendin too many bills, Cosby n Stills-
Either all or nothing if I'm pressed holdin the steel is it
Is it the lizard wizard Lynrd Skynyrd
its like your shit don't matter if Tableek ain't up in it
You act like you the only one that's stressed-
I'm in love with a woman that's getting married I'm blessed
I was in London sipping some black tea
When the thought came over me,
Got to catch another meal, maybe I can see a mil, we build we can chill got the krillz
I'm a grower of knowledge,
Yo let me hold that book
Do me that solid yes..?
Future knots
Future Future
Verse II
If I can get it, flip it, split it, quit it
Them other clowns wont matter once truth is ascended
Neck whipper, tend to leave em all paralyzed
Final analysis don't fuck wit a wise guy
that never finds a need to lie,
and holds they side of the enterprise till they die
Till the death,
Life for limbs or whatever limbs are left,
ease back an give me room for a deep breath
A deeper vision-
Unlocking the prison i put my mind in- through rhyming
Raymond's noodle,
bright enough to shine through
Girl if u lost I'm find you,
But I can't save u from yourself,
So Why please everyone and not yourself?
At least just a lil,
I'm off center not the middle,
Camo socks, tit for tittle
Got the chops to rid riddles
And rework words that I got
set the pace hit spots
Twisted up
Future, future knots
Future knots
Future future
Verse III
We Back
Never once sellin wack, or sellin out
Once, rock the braids but I let em out
I know i dont play fair,
But shut the f**k up it was that way when I came here
Use to be babies on the block,
Now they trigger trigger trigger trigger pon cock-
Dusted up choppin moon rocks-
Shopping in the mo shops
Know tags like Verna and the vell-tops.
I don't know when to stop,
Maybe black out and crash
I'm aligned with pulsars
An whats in the stash
I choose deen so it's alive in paragraphs I craft
With my pro staff
Vets and rookies get mad
We laugh at em,
An take a stab at em,
They want a war that don't stop,
They gone back down when they feel them
future knots
Future future

"Future Knots"
Written by Tableek
Produced by G Frequency
Recorded at Loop Studios Dublin, Ireland
Damn. Gotta thank my cousin Roddy Rod for putting me on to this. It takes TRUE SKILL to re-work records that have been turned out hundreds of times. Salute this brother Sir Vitamin D..for real TABLEEK
Every few months I put this record on for folks who have never heard it, and I get the same reaction every single time "What is this?" "When did this drop?" "THIS IS DOPE!!!"
..indeed it is. TABLEEK
Few brothers embody this hiphop music thing that I adore so much like Blackstar. Having been around these cats a few times over the years, I have utmost respect for their work. Always Classic & Dope TABLEEK
