about

'Praying on a Gable' is a re-imagining of the track ‘Indigo’ from Art of Algebra’s eponymous LP. The track features vocals from Afro-Irish MC Breezy iDeyGoke. The dark-ambient groove of the track and Breezy's lyrical flow merge to create a distinctive sound that marks a new direction in Irish hip-hop and Irish electronica.

“It reminded me of the indigo flower. As delicate as the flower looks, at some point the seed has to let the plant come to the surface. That breakthrough feeling became a central theme for the song and it pushed me to think about my roots and what I stem from, as well as the environment I was raised in. We all have to go through growth in this world and it can seem challenging. That challenge for me was having to grow in a space that I couldn’t be open about my Muslim faith or culture.”

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Want to scope horror go read horoscope
Don't get lost in the words my brother preserve hope
If you knew how the dough roll you wouldn't move so-so
Making monopoly moves on their chess boards
Hunters ahead of me telling me be vegan
I don't know if it’s the truth or they’re greedy
Fruits of the labor ain’t always clean eating
Hungry for success, need to be feasting
How you escaping, how you escaping
You could get lost in the maze stay amazing
Enter the play or get played
So speak the truth even if your voice shaking

[Hook]
Praying on a gamble, don't feel too safe (x8)

[Verse 2]
Took a risk on the cute little face she made
Turn that miss to a Mrs. my name
Haters brought beef, sent them empty plates
Aunty said, chop well well, get paid
This is the highlight, high life everything reel
Taking digital shots of nothing I want filmed
This is banjaxed bunk beds, boujee 4 seasons
What could’ve forced fear only came and forced freedom
Oh my days how you feeling
Pleasure of success, trapped with fake feelings
Oh my days how you feeling
Listen I speak it if I said then I see it

[Hook]
Praying on a gamble
Don't feel too safe
(x8)

[Outro]
Manna move
Manna bop free
Manna move
