01 Confucius MC 'WW'
(W.Carabine-Glean, R.Boettner)

Produced by Wann Sklobi
Recorded and mixed by Jehst at Lab Time Studios, London, UK
Mastered by Walter Coelho at Walter Coelho Mastering, Lisbon, Portugal
Visuals by Bee Graphics

Worldwide besting from the million dollar Confucius MC! Coming off the top rope having told you to ‘Look Deeper’ earlier this year, he tags in Wann Sklobi, the Californian producer providing greasily guitared funk that’s all shades, stubble, smoke and sleaze from the wrong side of the tracks. Namechecking some of the ring’s biggest stars from wrestling’s glitzy heyday with the stock of a bare knuckle boxer, and able to skillfully blur parallels with today’s world disorder, nobody is taking the belt from South London’s finest. Understand that in ‘WW’, “the game’s fake, but the pain ain’t phony”.

Cited by Kae Tempest as "a huge influence on my life, my character and my rhyme-style", Confucius has been carving his own echelon in the UK hip-hop landscape alongside working at a London primary school teaching the art of writing and lyricism, on top of running creative workshops for young people in his community. A top tier collaborator who has worked with Blu & Swarvy, Verb T & Pitch 92 and Micall Parknsun & Giallo Point, Confucius earned rave reviews as one half of Old Paradice with Blah Records producer Morriarchi for last year’s ‘The Last Resort’ EP, and on the Jehst single 'Autumn Nights' at the tail-end of 2019.

lyrics

When they place you in the Figure Four
You lose faith in what the mission’s for
Contemplating what you’re living for
Caught up in the Crippler Cross Face
Eyes fixed on the screen
Looking lost in the space
I watch the news on the BBC
My heart sinks
Like as if it’s been DDTed
I’m Mick Foley
Questioning Man Kind
Are we holy?
While with every breath
The Undertaker
Digs your grave slowly
Jabroni
The game’s fake
But the pain ain't phoney
In this Legion of Doom
Where souls will vacate lonely
The cage ain’t holding me
It’s free where I dwell
Though for some
Might as well be
Hell in a cell
It’s amazing
How we walk into the plan so well
If the champ remains the champ
Then the plan goes well
Until released from the chains
That Django held
The whole globe remains
Under Papa Shango’s spell

You play with fire
You’ll get burnt
My brother you deaf? 
But still you’re frontin’
Like it’s WWF
You play with fire
You’ll get burnt
My brother you’ll see
But still you’re frontin’
Like it’s WWE
x 2

The ref's paid off
The Boss Man’s got a screw lost
Sell your arse out
Like The Montreal Screw Job
Governed by Jerry The Kings
That toil and trouble
Listen close
You’ll hear the sounds
Of the Royals still Rumble
The fans are still humble
They’re playing along
Stand and cheer
When you play ‘em a song
In this panopticon
Where Goldust
Can slip through your fingers
The Million Dollar Man
Still clings to his riches
Small ponds
And big fishes
Dealing with the type of hate
That made Sid Vicious
Real life becomes fictitious
Riddled with doubt
Make sure my voice is loud
Like Jimmy The Mouth
Regular programming scheduled
So stay in your house
All eyes on the Big Show
Beamed straight to your couch
After years of hard work
And dues paid to the circuit
In the end
Playing Macho Man
Slayed Mr. Perfect

You play with fire
You’ll get burnt
My brother you deaf? 
But still you’re frontin’
Like it’s WWF
You play with fire
You’ll get burnt
My brother you’ll see
But still you’re frontin’
Like it’s WWE
x 2
