    Man everyone’s talking about the powerful political messages but now the “had female friends I found attractive, I tried to fuck but I am no savage, now we don’t speak we just walk past” hits different. having those friendships back is infinitely more meaningful than any amount of sex, especially walking past having been so close at one point but now it’s uncomfortable to even be near each other.

      Because it was released independently of any label. Saba released it himself through Stem Disintermedia (Same company that Frank Ocean released Blonde through) and owns his masters 100%. Saba has mostly been underground despite coming up along with other artists like Chance. However, CFM got rave reviews and he's getting more high-profile features, like on Revenge of the Dreamers III. He's getting there soon enough.

    “I don’t know how long I had depression “ . Damn I felt that
    It’s been 5 months as I’m editing this and this song help me thru so many hard times and through several suicide attempts and drug prescriptions and abut deppresants and struggle with sanity . I have found a slight peace of mind , you will always have a brighter time ahead of you . Seek help. You can get better , life will find a course for you , stay true to yourself . And most importantly love yourself , because if you don’t love yourself and you aren’t your own best friend you’re depending on other people and only you will be there for you your whole life . Peace and love homies ❤️

Wish I could replicate that feeling. Unfortunately the lyrics portray a very real consequence of white supremacy and hate. Now when I listen to this my heart sinks.

    But all of my friends got some shit to do
    Yeah, all 'em got plans
    I call 'em, I'm bad at texting
    They never cross me like bad pedestrians
    I've been this awkward since adolescence
    I don't know how long I had depression
    Never no peer-pressure
    I'm tryna' get my little pecker off in some girl
    I call my BFF, that ain't no secret kept
    I fucked then told my cousin
    I'm broke, I wasn't buzzin'
    I tried to hit a few years, she wasn't budgin'
    I'm bogus, left my girl for some shawty
    Surely deservin' of all this lonely
    "You sad? Tell me, how are you sad?
    You got all of these friends, you got all of these fans"
    I ain't trust nobody new since 2012, I ain't let nobody in
    Jesus got killed for our sins, Walter got killed for a coat
    I'm tryna cope, but it's a part of me gone
    In this packed room I'm alone
    [Chorus: Saba and Daoud]
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe
    Ohhh, ohhh
    [Verse 2: Saba]
    I'm so alone, just me and my girl
    She leave me for work, then leave me for school
    She finally home, I leave her for tour
    FaceTime me nudity, yeah, all of this new to me, yeah
    All of the infidelity when I was 17 been catchin' up
    It still feel like she'll catch me cheatin'
    Niggas askin' me how tour was
    Knowin' I been home like two months
    And I seen your ass like two times
    Save the small-talk like two dimes
    No time, social interaction
    Had female friends I found attractive
    I tried to fuck but I am no savage
    Now we don't speak, we just walk past
    If my past could talk
    It'd probably reply to the missed calls after all
    Cause the friendships that I can't recall
    Done turned my heart into camouflage
    While the guys I used to play basketball with
    Doin' shit that I can't endorse now
    With the Lord now, when it pours down
    Was alone then, still alone now
    [Chorus: Saba and Daoud]
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe

    [Part II: SIRENS]
    [Verse 1: theMIND]
    I'm barely here, how I ain't present?
    Yeah, I drift for a second, forgot to reply to your message
    But all these years
    I been the same in your presence (I'm still here)
    Countin' the seconds before I reply to your message
    My biggest fear (is that I have to say goodbye another time)
    Is that I have to say goodbye another time
    (Not like this, not like this, not like this)
    So I skip town on our moment, hopefully prolonging this
    I don't need nobody new to miss (not like this)
    I want you to know
    Ooooh, ooh ooh, ohh
    [Chorus: Saba]
    Sirens on the way, ayy
    Now you're lying where the angels, lay, yeah

    Now we're lying where the angels, yeah
    [Verse 2: Saba]
    Ridin' through the city
    I'm young, I'm black, I'm guilty
    I know one time wanna kill me
    They don't know me but they fear me
    15 years old with the sticky
    They gon' blame it on the marijuana
    Hands behind your head
    And they won't let up out they lead
    But if I move thats disrespect
    But if they shoot then that's just that?
    And if I run then that look bad?
    Drawing they gun right off their hip
    I'm probably deservin'
    'Cause I know they serve and protect
    But they think I'm servin'
    Or they think my cellphone's a weapon
    Heard that the robber wore a black mask
    I fit the description, a.k.a. "nigga"
    What is the difference? It's an enigma
    We so divided, I'm from Division
    Clutch that purse cause of my dreadlocks
    Cross that street cause I'm with my friends
    Curse every song in hip-hop
    Keep telling yourself it's all fair

    lyrics
    I'm so alone
    But all of my friends, but all of my friends, got some shit to do, yeah
    All of 'em got plans, I call 'em up, "my bad, " n' text 'em
    They never cross me like bad pedestrians
    I been this awkward since adolescence
    I don't how long I had depression
    Never know no peer-pressure, I'm tryin' to get my little pecker
    Offend some girl I call my BFF, that ain't no secret kept
    I'm fucked, then tell my cousin how broke I was and bussin'
    I tried to hit a few years, she wasn't budgin'
    I'm bogus, left my girl for some shawty, shawty
    Deservin' all this lonely
    You said, "Tell me, how are you sad
    You got all of these friends, you got all of these fans"
    I ain't trust nobody new since 2012, I ain't let nobody in
    Jesus got killed for our sins, Walter got killed for a coat
    I'm tryna cope, but it's a part of me gone
    And apparently I'm alone
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to die your slave
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to die your slave
    I'm so alone
    Just me and my girl, she leave me for work, then leave me for school
    She finally home, I leave her for tour
    FaceTime me, nudity, yeah
    All of this new to me, yeah
    All of the infidelity when I was seventeen
    Been catchin' up, I still feel like she catch me cheatin'
    Niggas askin' me how tour was
    Knowin' I been home like two months
    And I seen your ass like two times
    They just small-talk like too damn no time, social interaction
    Have female friends I found attractive
    If I try to fuck, but I am no savage
    Now we don't speak, we just walk past
    If my past could talk
    It'd probably reply to the missed calls after all
    'Cause the friendships that I can't recall, done turned my heart into camouflage
    While the guys I used to play basketball with
    Doin' shit that I can't endorse
    Now with the Lord, now it really pours down
    What's the lone plans, still alone now
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to die your slave
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to die your slave
    I'm barely here, how I ain't present
    Yeah, I drift for a second
    Forgot to reply to your message
    But only she, I been the same in your presence
    Countin' the seconds, before I reply to your message
    My biggest fear, is that I have to say goodbye another time
    So I skip town on our moment, hopefully prolongin' this
    I don't need nobody new to miss
    (I like this)
    I want you to know, ooh
    Sirens on the way, ayy
    Now you're lyin' where the angels lay (yeah)
    Sirens on the way, ayy
    Now we're lyin' where the angels lay (yeah)

    They don't know me but they fear me (ayy)
    Fifteen years old with the sticky
    They gon' blame it on the marijuana (ayy)
    Hands behind your head
    And they won't let up out they lead
    But if I move that's disrespect
    But if they shootin' that's just that
    And if I run then that look bad
    Drawin' they gun right off the hip
    I'm probably deservin', 'cause I know they serve and protect
    But they think I'm servin', or they think my cellphone's a weapon
    Heard that the robber wore a black mask
    I fit the description, a.k.a. nigga, what is the difference
    This an enigma, we so divided, I'm from Division
    Clutch that purse 'cause of my dreadlocks
    Cross that street 'cause I'm with my friends
    Curse every song in Hip-Hop
    Keep tellin' yourself it's all fair

    Man your album, right next to Acid Rap and Coloring book for me. You have so many good sounds and your story telling skills are immaculate, the jazz and neo soul especially in Logout, was amazing I literally felt my soul leaving my body to watch myself listening to this album. When I heard you on "Angels" I was like okay he's lit. Didn't listen to you Again imma be real. But this popped up, the same way I discovered Chance, I used to hate his music when I was younger, but now I can relate to y'all more than I ever thought I would. Keep it up, platinum, almost flawless. I'm a musician and I'm 17 btw. Maybe in a crazy future I could become successful enough to make a song with you. All my favorite artists come from Chi but I'm from Atlanta. Noname, Vic, Chance, Saba

    Im weird. I always love the first half og the song more the more n more i hear it. Sirens is fire.. But busy just puts you in that perspective... I feel people dont feel for the fact of how lowkey depressing the track is.... But it fills in so perfectly for what makes sirens...plus i love tracks where it gives you good picture of a artist mindstate... Emotions... Life.. Going into waters they usually don't tread into... Same with This side by earthgang the more n more i listen to that song... The more i appreciate and love the first half of that song... Second half is amaretsu flames.. But the first half just the part that sets the tone for the whole song and album imo..

    i listened to this song for the first time back in april 2020 and the timing couldn't be better. i was having some relationship problems, related to cheating, which also led to an ugly fight with the people i used to call my friends, and it was all in the middle of the beggining of the pandemic. i kinda almost did something terrible to an accquaintance and got isolated from my former friends, and months later they have been revealing themselves as huge douchebags, doing shit i just couldn't endorse. some things are meant for the better, even though we don't understand it at first, but it is all part of the learning. stay strong y'all, its still a fucked up reality we're living, but we shall come through

    Yeah, all 'em got plans
    I call 'em, I'm bad at texting
    They never cross me like bad pedestrians
    I've been this awkward since adolescence
    I don't know how long I had depression
    Never no peer-pressure
    I'm tryna' get my little pecker off in some girl
    I call my BFF, that ain't no secret kept
    I fucked then told my cousin
    I'm broke, I wasn't buzzin'
    I tried to hit a few years, she wasn't budgin'
    I'm bogus, left my girl for some shawty
    Surely deservin' of all this lonely
    "You sad? Tell me, how are you sad?
    You got all of these friends, you got all of these fans"
    I ain't trust nobody new since 2012, I ain't let nobody in
    Jesus got killed for our sins, Walter got killed for a coat
    I'm tryna cope, but it's a part of me gone
    In this packed room I'm alone

    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe
    I'm havin' a busy day, I'll hit you back right away
    I seen that skies were grey, I hope to God you're safe
    Ohhh, ohhh

    I'm so alone, just me and my girl
    She leave me for work, then leave me for school
    She finally home, I leave her for tour

    All of the infidelity when I was 17 been catchin' up
    It still feel like she'll catch me cheatin'
    Niggas askin' me how tour was
    Knowin' I been home like two months
    And I seen your ass like two times
    Save the small-talk like two dimes
    No time, social interaction

    If my past could talk
    It'd probably reply to the missed calls after all

    But all these years
    I been the same in your presence (I'm still here)
    Countin' the seconds before I reply to your message
    My biggest fear (is that I have to say goodbye another time)
    Is that I have to say goodbye another time
    (Not like this, not like this, not like this)
    So I skip town on our moment, hopefully prolonging this
    I don't need nobody new to miss (not like this)
    I want you to know
    Ooooh, ooh ooh, ohh

    Now we're lying where the angels, yeah
    Verse 2: Saba]
    Ridin' through the city
    I'm young, I'm black, I'm guilty
    I know one time wanna kill me
    They don't know me but they fear me
    15 years old with the sticky
    They gon' blame it on the marijuana
    Hands behind your head
    And they won't let up out they lead

    Or they think my cellphone's a weapon
    Heard that the robber wore a black mask
    I fit the description, a.k.a. "nigga"
    What is the difference? It's an enigma
    We so divided, I'm from Division
