Come On 04:48
Chorus: I can see your eyes, ears but not your nose I can hear you fart but cant tell if it’s gross all day takeaway, dim sum microwave the plastic wont go away, my boss just cut my pay verse 1 It’s stuff with the mask on. kleenex everything I touched on scrolling my facebook, ma jong games go virtual how I want to be close with somebody listen to the experts, cover my nose and chin properly wipe all my furnitures, my skin peeling off from rubbing I turned my home into a clinic I eat facing the wall, how unreal and why am I doing this? I just to want to be a burden and why am I doing this? I dont want my family quarantined and why am I doing this? I’m scared of death, the nothingness verse 2 put on full harzard gear to go on a plane it’s not halloween or cosplay party alcohol everyday, hustle at home dont dare to go karaoke and caused trouble gatherings become a crime, drink wine with a straw under a mask the experts’ predictions are baseless hidden spreader hidden fear I’m tired of masking up daily I dont want no travel bubble I dont want no plastic barriers, having infra red guns pointed at me virtual shopping birtual economy things that can be touched are getting scarse we all get sick and die and fall down in time 2020, come on!

Suspicion 03:58
verse 1 like a rubberband stretched to its limit, a man can only deal with so much stress if you are happy, something is going on if you cry, there’s an agenda questions and answers all over the place why are you suddenly so friendly followed all my followers, liked all the comments cleared the browse history everything has an agenda, there needs do be some gain shooting with a selfie-stick, thanks my fans on IG shall I travel north for opportunity? or go West to the states? when is the cold war over? Japanese yen or US dollar? you look friendly but then you stab me you condemn he condemns you, he condemns you condemn him you sue him sue you, he sue you sue him verse 2 the whole new world is falling apart crazy antics getting overboard you betray me, I destroy you the great tragedy, in a deadly spiral no hurry but be quick if you dont like it, just leave done many bad things, waiting for judgement the fortune teller told me I have to suffer for longer conspiracy conspiracy conspiracy the more convoluted the more believable KOL tells me the answers, I dont need to think KOLs are so believable it’s to risky to be rational big data is the future, common sense no longer common I suspect you suspect him suspect me, suspect the system, something is wrong I suspect you suspect him suspect me, just be a child and care no more wrecking havoc

verse 1 O, my dear, you are now a teenager you got a new bed but still sleeps with light on it’s fate that you are a Hong Konger, and I’m your father how do you feel about that? online games, youtube, spotify it’s so hard to get you out of your room hanging out with your friends in the virtual world so much fun with games and trade so much effort in naming your avatar getting the coolest profile picture you like trap and also Eminem always giving me the run down after a new episode of JoJo in this crazy world, so much fear so little love do you blame me for not leaving? in this crazy world, life becomes a competition and ended up with nothing Chorus 13yo you, 40 something me it’s just wrong to assume you are like me 13yo you, 40 something me love you anyway, you be you, me be me verse 2 I thought you’d like swimming, dream of cycling to Tai Po with you in fact you are not interested with these things, that’s just you, no one’s fault cant even get angry, we sure have many heated moments that’s just the way it is, we gonna live with this will you speak to me when I’m 70? the teenage you wants to keep a distant the teenage you are so private the teenage you are finding yourself dont over or under estimate yourself, follow what you like we haven’t pushed you into elite schools we haven’t planned everything out for you in this crazy world, so much fear so little love let us be the exception

verse 1 the world is tricky, so many tragedies happening we got only one shot, no one knows when we are gone nothing we can do, if we stay still we will lose that’s the reality for all man my life is full of bitterness, things dont go my way, bad luck keeps coming it can always get worse, trying to make a living just want to hide, wishing that all fake things will go away be stubborn, dont regret. do I deserve to be better I’m tired of keeping a nice face, always worrying I’m gonna break my head is like on a 36 hours shift cant relax with so much worries there’s no summer in my world, just winter I can never get through to the lifeline Chorus come what may, whatever, bitter wine has a sweet aftertaste being hopeful is not being stupid I accept there may not be reward, every hardship only makes me strong even though dreams dont come true, it’s ok I keep the right mind verse 2 pandemic, shut the city. we all die that’s justice health is not granted, let’s drink up tonight gaming addiction is a sport I always keeping my social distance anyway 2 wrongs doesnt make it right, is there anyone who will take me as me the system is non-negotiable, the kids are on the go the parents dont care, they are chasing pokemon let us be clear, the world is not getting better the politicians are lying, tall as buildings romanticising everything, like JoJo comics Facebook is not god, dont believe it not everything has an answer the sun shines on good guys and bad guys everything changes

2020 what’s special about SAR Hong Kong? saying goodbye to friends who are leaving, good fortune, have a good life parliament has changed, no opposition Biden or Trump, feeling bitter Five eyes alliance is the righteous, where there’s men there’s war I hate politics, nice empty words as far as I know I better not care we are all good with our words “suspicious”, “maybe”, “possibly” “presumably” we are left with half faces everyone looks familiar, shy waiting and waiting, cant wait no more masked up, still trying to love

about

Bedroom artist based in HK.

Raps in his mother tongue - Cantonese - about anything that catches his attention. Creates to stay alive.

從澳洲回流香港,開始活躍於獨立說唱圈。自彈自唱自製作,音樂天馬行空,歌詞內容卻絶不離地。現場表演經常加上樂器和現場聲效,亦從來不懂叫"yo yo yo!"。

These songs are made in 2020 from scratch. This year everything seems to be put on hold. People are in waiting mode, hoping life can somehow re-start when the pandemic ends. But I believe life happens now, and did what I can to stay alive by creating.

The title of the EP is "The year I couldn't use facial recognition"


All songs written, performed, and produced by little albert in 2020
