Lancey Foux Spirit Of X2c

Lancey Foux has been busy this year, collaborating with artists ranging from Tunji Ige to Yeat. He’s also been delivering singles which have have been in the ether for a while. Earlier this month, the rapper dropped “All Night Long,” a track which was leaked in February of last year.

While “All Night Long” saw Lancey Foux at his most fiery, his newest track, “SPIRIT OF X2C,” sees him deep in his feels. The song, which the East London rapper previewed on his Instagram Live in January of 2021, comprises a slowly arpeggiating piano and acoustic guitar under Foux’s melancholy vocals.

While the backing track might lead you to believe Foux is down in the dumps, his lyrics tell you otherwise. “If there’s anything that I know, it’s the spirit of ecstasy,” Foux croons. As the tune progresses, his warbling autotune is backed by an expansive chorus, as though Foux is trying to achieve a sonic ecstasy.

At the end of his verse, however, he subverts the carefree nature of the lyrics so far: “I’ma ride for myself, stop tryna save the world / This is life in hell.” Perhaps there’s more than meets the ear.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
If there’s anything that I know
If there’s anything that I know, it’s the spirit of ecstasy, ecstasy
If there’s anything I know, I need you right here next to me, next to me
I need you right now, here in my arms
Spirit of ecstasy, ecstasy (Ecstasy)
Oh-oh
Spirit of ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
And the spirit of love

[Verse]
No more wishin’ for love (Wishin’ for love), oh-oh
I know you’ve been wishin’ on a star
Top boy, she give me Michelin star
I know when you caught me in a glance
I know you put molly in a glass, yeah
I know you wanna take some more
If you’re riding me, you’re dying, then you’re riding, yeah
Take some more
I decided, I decided
I’ma ride for myself, stop tryna save the world
This is LIFE IN HELL

[Chorus]
If there’s anything that I know
If there’s anything that I know, it’s the spirit of ecstasy, ecstasy
If there’s anything I know
I need you right now, here in my arms
Spirit of ecstasy (Ecstasy)
Oh-oh
Spirit of ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
And the spirit of love
And the spirit of love, love, love, love, love, love
I’ve been wishing for love, love, love, love, love
