Loss (feat. BLKZEN)

Toki

This the rain

Tears fall that's a flood

One time

Wipe'd away now it's a drought

Dinner eyes

Silver fork in your mouth

Snake camouflage

Bit so many times I cant count

I let you slide too many times

My fault

Tryna run from truth

Won't get far

Only got yourself when you fall

Making symphonies out my losses

Boxed in writing poetry on the walls still

I just wanna be great

With my partners

I had to separate the real

From imposters

Fool me once

Walk it off not a problem

But you did it twice

And now there ain’t no room for talking

Bridges don’t last

Reminisce bout the past

Kerosine

I brought the gas

Set it off lemme spark the match

I needed time

It happened too fast

I saw the true colors

Of snakes in the grass

You poking a bear with a stick

Now the sticks at yo matta

You tried to stop me but now you the prey of a monster

Go make the peace with your god before you get closer

You the food and i pulled up with toasters

Then I keep it moving like a soldier

"RETANUS" - The 2nd Album from Toki

In consistency with Toki's previous work, this album incorporates a worldwide musical stance that defies categorization; weaving melodic house, trap, and hip-hop into dystopian melodies. The album's sound is a melancholic, hardcore, but retains a feeling of fragility in turn with its' theme of 'emotional rebirth'.

'RENATUS' features American rapper BLKZEN, based in Brooklyn, New York; Chinese playwright Afra Cheng, who met and worked with BLKZEN in San Francisco; slam poet GOMESS, who spits unique words from Japan; and keyboardist TAKUMI, from the Japanese band STRIX.

In contrast to the linear intensity of his first album 'ANNIHILATION', 'RENATUS' mixes the heavy with the melodious, in Toki's own interpretation of the 'unconscious mind of humanity'.

In turn, 'RENATUS' will also serve to light the fire for Toki's further work to come.
