The UK’s rising star Lancey Foux is far from your conventional rapper. He’s steadily been bubbling up in the underground though he has caught the attention of a few heavy hitters. In 2019, he had a stand-out performance on Skepta’s album Ignorance Is Bliss. His auti-tuned vocals stretch like silly putty over equally unorthodox production.
This week, he released a pair of singles reflecting the current social climate. Lancey Foux came through with “RELAX !i” and “TIME FOR WAR” this week which reflects on the social injustices that are occurring not only in the U.S, but worldwide. Following the murder of George Floyd, protests in the States spawned BLM demonstrations in the UK as well as demanding justice and equality. Lancey Foux takes both tracks as moments to show his solidarity and support for the Black Lives Matter movement as he reflects on the injustices he’s faced in his life as a Black man.

[Intro]
Eediat (Dickhead)
[Chorus]
Don’t talk back, relax
We chop off your leg and we chop off your hand
We go Gaddafi, Saddam
We tried to talk, but you didn’t understand
Militant soldier, anarchy man
Came with a black Taliban
[Verse]
You must forgot where the fuck I’m from
You must forgot what I’m on
You must forgot yourself on IG, tappin’ and scrollin’ along
I was sayin’ no to violence, I had my shank all along
You got paigons and you’re fightin’, but you’re doin’ it wrong
How could I beef my brothers? Yeah, how could I beef my blood?
How could I beef my brothers? Yeah, how could I beef my blood?
How could I stay for the opps? How could I run from the cops?
How could they take our people and none of them boy get dropped?
You kill a man that owe you a bill, but can’t kill a man that owe you a mil’
You wouldn’t let no opp call a truce, but you let the fed play duck, duck, goose
Hop out the coupe, shoot them man just in a Soviet conman suit
I got weed spillin’ on my shoes, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, yeah, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, yeah, I got weed spillin’ on my shoes
I put a racist in my zoot, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, yeah, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, yeah, I got weed spillin’ on my shoes
(Fuck you talkin’ about? Idiot, dickhead)
[Chorus]
Don’t talk back, relax
We chop off your leg and we chop off your hand (Eediat)
We go Gaddafi, Saddam
We tried to talk, but you didn’t understand (Eediat)
Militant soldier, anarchy man
Came with a black Taliban
[Outro]
I put a racist in my zoot, I put a racist in my zoot
I put a racist in my zoot, yeah, I got weed spillin’ on my shoes

[Intro]
(I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so sick and tired of this shit)
There’s no time no more
Jay Trench
There’s no time no more, yeah
(There’s no time no more, there’s no time no more
There’s no time no more, yeah
There’s no time no more, there’s no time no more)
But there’s time for war, yeah
(But there’s time for war, but there’s time for war
But there’s time for war, yeah
But there’s time for war, but there’s time for war
It’s time for war, it’s time for war
It’s time for war)
[Verse]
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so sick and tired of this shit
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so sick, I can’t keep quiet ’bout this shit
I’m so, I’m so ready for war, no point in cryin’ about this shit
You can’t change the color of your skin and you can still die about it
We got the whole world runnin’ with the swag, they on high mileage
They killed a deaf black man, he was just throwin’ up sign language
I’m so-so-so-so tired
Black people at the protest while the white people riot
Black people wanna know better, but the white people hide it
Sell guns, so I sell drugs, so I [?] trident
You are now with a white girl, had a good night
‘Til you wake up and wonder if she fuckin’ with you out of spite
As a black man, I need more than two eyes
‘Cause some are gonna get you from the front
And some are gonna get you from the side
Some are gonna screw and stare
Some are gonna smile and say “Hi”
But no one can tell you the truth ’cause everyone’s lyin’
We ain’t gonna make no moves until everyone’s dyin’
They don’t wanna walk in your shoes, they ain’t even tryin’
And you rap niggas talk about “Stainless, stainless, stainless, stainless”
How you gonna kill off a paigon? You ain’t even kill off a racist
How you gonna kill off your own? You ain’t even on your own
How you gonna cripple an opp? You ain’t disabled a cop
Unless it’s a war, I don’t expect this to stop
And I’m ready for war
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so sick and tired of this shit
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so sick and tired of this shit
[Outro]
It’s time for war, it’s time for war
It’s time for war, it’s time for
I’m so, I’m so sick and tired
I’m so sick and tired
Okay, yeah, I’m so sick, so [?]
Oh, no, no, no, oh
I’m so [?] yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m so sick and tired
I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t, I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t believe my eyes [?]
I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t believe my eyes
I’m ready to roll, I’m ready to ride
I’m ready to die about mine
I’m ready to slide about mine
I’m ready to die about mine, mine
