Brent Faiyaz Dead Man Walking

Brent Faiyaz’ latest solo effort Fuck the World may be a staple for bedrooms everywhere, but that’s not quite enough for the talented singer.

Having just released the remix to “Fuck the World (Summer in London)” featuring 2 Chainz in anticipation of a deluxe reissue of the eponymous album, he resurfaces again today to drop off a brand new single for fans.

He reunites with Sonder producer Dpat, who contributes production to the song alongside Lil Rece, Jordan Ware, and Faiyaz himself.

Sonically, the song is a bit of a departure from Fuck the World‘s live instrumentation, instead of returning to his electronic-tinged work with Sonder. The singer discusses his lifestyle as a “young stunna,” wrapping his trademark confessionals in his silky melodies against a steady reverberating snare.

Building off a simple two-note string loop and crescendoing into a gorgeous minute-long instrumental outro, the new song is yet another example of Faiyaz’ ear for lush beats that complement his rich falsetto.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Drop the roof and let the smoke clear (Smoke clear, smoke clear)
(Lemme hear that)

[Verse 1]
Drop the roof and let the smoke clear (Smoke clear, smoke clear)
I got diamonds (Ooh, ooh), doin’ toosie slides in both ears
Dice rollin’ on the Las Vegas strip tonight
Slip that on (Ooh, ooh), and we might miss the fight
Fuck a knot, I keep the guala in my shorty bag (Ooh, ooh)
You know she one of mine, when she tattoo that ass
I’m a lover boy
She love the toys (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Keep it comin’, you a rider
This that roll myself a J and count my figure shit
This that steppin’ out, I feel like I’m that nigga shit
I dropped thirty on this room, we ain’t gon’ sleep for shit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
If I catch you nodding off, then it’s gon’ be some shit

[Chorus]
But you can do what you wanna
Live, how you wanna (Ooh, ooh)
Spend, what you wanna
Be, who you wanna be
A young stunner (Stunner, ooh, ooh)
‘Til I D-I-E (Lord help me)
You can do what you wanna (What you wanna)
Live, how you wanna
Spend, what you wanna
Be, who you wanna be
A young stunner (Stunner)
‘Til I D-I-E (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Fuck it, I just run it up before I go (Oh)
Would you tell the world my secrets, if I let you close?
M.I.A: Missing in action (Oh, oh)
‘Cause these days no kumbaya
Niggas be blastin’
Livin’ in the midst of, this shit might drive you mad
Feeling pretty mixed up, but this life shit ain’t all bad (She work)
Bloody, bloody murder, there ain’t no second chances
(Shit crazy, as fuck)

[Chorus]
Girl just do what you wanna (What you wanna)
Live, how you wanna
Spend, what you wanna (What you wanna)
Be, who you wanna be (Die for you)
A young stunner (Die for you, stunner)
‘Til I D-I-E (Lord help me)
You can do what you wanna (What you wanna)
Live, how you wanna
Spend, what you wanna (What you wanna)
Be, who you wanna be (Die for you)
A young stunner (Die for you, stunner)
‘Til I D-I-E (Yeah)
