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.
