Metaphysical challenges a troubled world with sharp rhymes on new release “Tricky Times”

“Tricky Times” by Metaphysical is a song about social frustration, economic disparity, and the search for direction in a demanding world. With dense verses and a self-assured lyrical delivery hold the song aloft, an artist determined to make himself heard through struggle. The line “The richest are the greediest in the city LA” directly states the inequalities that shape the song's perspective. I find it interesting to look at the wordplay and subject matter side by side, because the wordplay is so livid, and the subject matter so serious. The writing moves from personal endurance to broader social observations, giving the track an urgent, restless quality. “Tricky Times” is a potent lyric about living through uncertainty while still seeing the world around you.
