about

‘WHOAMI’​ ​is an impactful introduction into his world and a fierce rebuke to those who lazily classify others and spread hatred. The track is buoyed by production that rattles speakers, clicking hi-hats echo through the track with Wylah pointedly saying “fuck off with your labels” right from the beginning. The track sees him flick between firing off his own clapbacks to those who question him and the doubt this causes within himself. It’s a mesmeric ride that sinks under the skin and one that feels pertinent in our current times of turmoil and divide.

lyrics

WHOAMI
i aint from bits, i aint from them ways but still i don't mind.
and i don't watch post codes, me i see you soul first looking through your eyes.
some swiped out lifestyles picking out these pixels from my psyche
dealing with some ignorance pricks yeah the chink man a chink yeah man I'm chiney
pacifisticing tho I got my fist clench tight like
put me in a box get boxed.
but you aint seen the flare that I lick off when I'm writing
+ you don't know about the pain that I hold i got inside me
and i aint from england, i aint from china… so fuck off with your labels (child of the moon)
product of environment, I'm suttin like a hyacinth busting through the pavements
living in fables. (tales) I'm probably from another place elsewhere
fate done taking all my loved ones elsewhere, cried so much it left a fissure in my welfare
all this pain. cracks. stains. smashed self care
gargling booze, angst and mood why I'm looking for my health here (i just don't know, I'm like)

who. am i?
who am i? (who am i?) who am i? (who am i?) who am i? (who am i?) who? x3
(what) (what) (what)
who am i? (what?) who am i? (me) who am i? (you?)
who am i anyways? who am i?

individual persons,(yeah) belonging and were looking for a purpose
see how we earthlings, (yeah?) ruining; the water turn turpid (black like night)
now seeing how fear works, drop a couple bombs then blame it on the burkas (tabloids)
as if there aint a war right now, know the karma is a double headed serpent (it bites both (ways!))
yeah the future feel worthless.(wah) so how we meant to feel about our children?
picking up the rubble from before like…(like like like) how we gonna build another building?
cracked foundation. the system need changing as ever but that's nutting new theres nutting much to heal this (not much hope)
pointing out the fingers. but really 1 per-centers need to feel this.
turning round the tables vote labour still dubious (wah) revolution is solution lets do this.
(yeah) chanting with the beads i move buddhist (Om) mani padme hung grooving.
peace, music, love - movements.
cmon everybody get loose just tryna find silence (shhh)
I'm in amongst mayhem and madness and arise from the grit i move phoenix i flew but

like… who. am i?
who am i? (who am i?) who am i? (who am i?) who am i? (who am i?) who? x3
(what) (what) (what)
who am i? (what?) who am i? (me) who am i? (you?)
who am i anyways? who am i? who.
