Joyner Lucas Blackout

Last month, Joyner Lucas released the first single from his upcoming album, Not Now, I’m Busy. The emotional track, “Devil’s Work 2,” saw the rapper speaking on recent losses, like the murder of PnB Rock. Joyner treats the song as a conversation with God, asking the hard questions about death and telling Him that it seems like He doesn’t care. It provides a bird’s eye view of the culture at large, as well as a wish to undo the trauma experienced within it. The track was a powerful start to the new record.

Now, Joyner has released the second single from his upcoming album. The new effort is titled “Blackout,” and Joyner has enlisted Future as a featured artist. At just over 3 minutes, the track is slick and catchy. Lyrically, both the Massachusetts native and Hendrix speak on coming up and the rap lifestyle. It serves as a reminder of Joyner’s versatility. He’s no stranger to hard-hitting trap songs, but the difference between this and the 34-year-old’s last offering shows his ability to speak on a wide range of topics and do it well. He’s definitely not a one-trick pony.

“Blackout” opens with the hard-hitting kicks, claps, and hi-hats typical of trap songs. Behind them, a descending harp repeats, providing an atmospheric and dramatic background for Joyner to start rapping over. His flow sounds right at home over the beat. Halfway through the track, Future comes in for his verse. His tone melds perfectly with Joyner’s. Keen to show off their flexibility, both rappers switch up the flow several times throughout the song. It may not have the lyrical depth of “Devil’s Work 2,” but it’s definitely the kind of track you want to play on repeat.

“Blackout” is the fourth track on Joyner’s Now Now, I’m Busy. Since the album is due to be released on August 18, it’s safe to say we can expect a few more singles from the album before it gets released in full. If the first two arrivals are anything to go off of, the album might be the lyricist’s best work yet.

Lyrics

[Part I]

[Verse: Joyner Lucas]
Yeah, I can’t hide my pain no more (Joyner), this shit gon’ make me lash out (Lash out)
I ain’t playin’ games no more, I really might just blackout (Blackout)
She can’t feel her legs no more, I blew her fuckin’ back out (Back out)
Run up on me, bitch, on God, I’ll blow your fuckin’ back out (Brr, back out)
Where I’m from, this shit go down, a lot of niggas crash out (Crash out)
I just seen my cousin cop some work up out the crack house (Crack house)
He ain’t got nothin’ to lose, he might just bring the mask out (Mask out)
He gon’ take your Visa too, I hope your credit card don’t max out (Brr, max out)
Watch me take some bricks and soap and turn it to a bankroll (Yeah)
Used to wanna get rich like Hov, until I met Jeff Bezos (Bezos)
Billionaire invitеs, that’s the shit that you can’t pay for (Yeah, yeah)
Lеvelled up and made some pesos, now your bitch wanna give me besos (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, besos)
Mwah, first to do it, bitch, I’m Draco (Draco)
If you want that drama, you gon’ get just what you paid for (Grrah, grrah, grrah, paid for)
‘Fore I got a check, I went and bought my mom a Range Rover (Woah)
Wasn’t new, but it was paid for, I said “One day, we’ll be straight though” (Straight though)

[Part II]

[Intro: Joyner Lucas & Future]
One day, I’ma change everything, I swear
Toxic

[Verse 1: Future]
Like a kilo dropped inside the pot, my niggas spinnin’, ayy (Spinnin’)
I just heard a hater just got shot, now I’m grinnin’, ayy (Grinnin’)
I just took more dope, that’s just gon’ keep me out my feelings (Feelings)
If I wasn’t rappin’, I’d be trappin’, makin’ millions (Millions)
I ain’t worried ’bout nothin’, I got more money than my ex (Ex, ayy)
I don’t have to call, bitches pullin’ up off my texts (Texts, ayy)
First day, I bought her that AP, ’cause she wet (Wet, ayy)
I done spent so much money on bitches, I forget (Get, ayy)
One of one, spill, you can’t find this in a store (Store, ayy)
Heard that was your wifey, I turned her to my whore (Whore)
Let me be your sponsor, you a baddie, you can get endorsed (Endorsed)
New Chanel, you know damn well it make girls get moist (Moist, super)
Whipped up in a Maybach and I came back in a Royce (Super)
I’ma pop my shit, drop a brick and I’m poppin’ (Freebandz)
Shorty can’t complain, bitch, the whole world toxic (Toxic)
She belong to the streets, bitch, go and fuck on everybody

[Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
I got coke plugs, I got bass plugs, and I think I’m Pablo (Brr, think I’m Pablo)
If this rap shit never worked out, then I’d be El Chapo (Brr, be El Chapo)
Got a stash spot for the cash drops and a blacked-out Tahoe (For the blacked-out Tahoe)
Put a ten of cash in a duffel bag, shit, back to Cabo (For real)
If my phone ring and I’m busy, I’ma just straight ignore it (Okay)
If you ain’t callin’ ’bout money, then that shit ain’t important (Okay)
I used to want me a good girl, but they way too boring (Yeah, woah)
Baby, we can fuck, but you can’t stay ’til morning (Morning)
And if I wasn’t rappin’, I’d be trappin’, makin’ Ms (Ms)
Twenty SUVs, you’d never know which one I’m in (Skrrt)
Travel ‘cross the country, sellin’ drugs to all your friends (Woah)
And if I lose it all, then I’d just do it all again
I still got big connects, I could hit the rec’ from a bag of foam (From a bag of foam, bah, bah)
If a nigga ever fall off, then I’ll be Al Capone (Be Al Capone, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Couple bad bitches in the kitchen, naked, they countin’ Os (Countin’ Os)
I got niggas crossin’ the border for me, who down to go? (Ayy, oh, oh, oh)
I need to know
