Intuition & Equilibrum - “Ain’t The Blues”
dir. Kyle Gray

I have nothing to say. These lyrics need more spotlight than anything I could write about them:

[Verse 1]
Yo,
I ain’t gonna front
It’s been a rough couple months
Sex, ladies having babies business just been fucking up
Plus I been feeling like my tongue is stuck
Puffin’ blunts to feel something other than nothing, nah.
This bubble keeps up on the outside
But let’s them in enough to think there’s never any downtime
The town sides muffles the outcries about white lies that the side of my mouth hides
Yeah, I said I hide behind a mask
Trying to find the line of sight - I write about the past
Lookin’ at the stars, lying on the grass
And cooking up them bars when I’m high enough to gas
I fall for girls that’s taken
Swooping relations on the verge of breaking
Wonder if my turns worth the wait
When the search don’t work and the flirts is vacant

[Hook]
It’s a piece of paper that you got paid in for school
Look at your feet and wonder who made your shoes
The feeling in your tummy knowing money made the moves
But nah, this ain’t the blues - Na-uh, it ain’t the blues
It’s knowing that you’re going nowhere, paying dues
And thinking that your ma dukes ashamed of you
Knowing that someone you trusted just be playing you
But nah, this ain’t the blues - Na-uh, it ain’t the blues

[Verse 2]
Nah, it’s something much deeper
You wanna fall in love but know lust is just cheaper
Cut it up, bust a nut and just leave her.
You fuckin’ up, know you’re running from keepers
I spend a lot of time in my cave, now worried that the drum breaks may lead to break downs
Zennin? on a song that’s never ending,
Lifting up the pen and pretending, I’m picking up the pace now
But what’s the point of runnin’ faster - if you’re only runnin’ laps
You’re so concerned about staying on the track you forget the finish line’s the starting point you’re coming back to.
So now I keep it how the crow flies
Cause road signs never point to gold mines
And closed eyes don’t enjoy the whole ride
Bundled for a cold night, buckle up and hold tight

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Yo,
Money comes and goes
If it goes before it comes shit you know your role lower your soul or go and load your gun
Never yelled but never heard, your tongue
It never listened to the tall tales some of those soldiers spun
The truth has a few different shades
Believe ability belongs to who’s getting paid
I didn’t know the rules, I was new to the game
‘til you snapped your foul fingers and the crew shifted ways
Man, I was a fool to the air when
I understood you and embody blue number seven
I did the work - you took the credit
You played the game smarter - that’s cool; I accept it.
But don’t be out smearing my name while
You step on peoples backs to get yourself paid, pal.
Fuck around and get laid out. Ignore me when you see me - stay away with your fake smile

And of course Equalibrum supplies the perfect soundscape for Intuition’s personal update on life that manages to be braggadocious in it’s highly technical lyricism but not with it’s content. Each new single these two have released in the past few months are powerful pieces of music. Their upcoming album is looking great so far.
