Denzel Curry promised to release new music, and today he’s lived up to his promise with the arrival of “Live From The Abyss.” For this one, Denzel opted to switch up the formula, releasing the track on Bandcamp and pledging to donate all proceeds to Dream Defenders, an organization pledged as follows: “We are an uprising of rebellious youth fighting for our freedom. We are organizers shaping our collective destinies. We are the next generation of revolutionaries.”
As for the song itself, Denzel opts to channel his own rebellious spirit, processing his voice through a filter and spitting over a distorted slow-burning beat. “I walk around with confidence, plotting on accomplishments, planning something radical in the cut so anonymous,” he spits. “I don’t fuck with my President, tried to block all Mexicans.” Between the incendiary subject matter and the jaded, singsong flow, “Live From The Abyss” successfully channels the frustrations that many have been feeling of late.
Denzel Curry – Live From The Abyss
Overnight, Minneapolis on fire
Protestors leaving an auto parts store in flames
Others seen looting a local Target
Tonight was a different night of protesting
I walk around with confidence, plottin’ on accomplishments
Plannin’ somethin’ radical in the cut, so anonymous
I don’t fuck with my president, try to block all Mexicans
If he hear this message, please, don’t send SWAT to my residence
The police keep on killin’ us, hands up then they start to shoot
Bad enough I’m scared of them, they afraid of my niggas too
I’m screamin’, “Black is beautiful,” views are probably anti-race
I can see the fear in your eyes when you look in my face
We all been on this paper chase, the only way to keep us free
All I see is red and green, money soak when my foes’ll bleed
I’m pourin’ up my Hennessy, fightin’ with my shadow self
End up back in therapy, next to God, that’s what seems to help
Got a tat’ of Malcolm X, other one is young Bruce Lee
Always practice martial arts, misinformed then you need to read
The truth they always hidin’ in books because they always overlooked
That’s all I need to say in this verse, and now here comes the hook
Reportin’ live from the depths of the abyss, I’m at risk
When I be talkin’ to my people like this, raise my fist
I tell Trump in the office to suck a dick, bitch, I’m pissed
Reportin’ live from the depths of the abyss, the abyss
Reportin’ live from the depths of the abyss, I’m at risk
When I be talkin’ to my people like this, raise my fist
I tell Trump in the office to suck a dick, bitch, I’m pissed
Reportin’ live from the depths of the abyss, the abyss, the abyss
When is it really gon’ change? When is it really gon’ stop?
When is it really gon’ change? When is it really gon’ stop?
When is it really gon’ change? When is it really gon’ stop?
When is it really gon’ change? When is it really gon’ stop?
When is it really gon’ change? When is it really gon’ stop?
