On “Talisman,” Sybyr freestyles over a glitchy, self-produced instrumental, discussing his good fortune, comparing himself to a “talisman,” alluding to luck being present anywhere he is.
Sybyr originally previewed the song in November of 2018, inside an Instagram livestream.
[Intro]
Yeah
Anti
Landfill
[Chorus]
I'm the talisman
Second pentacles of mercury all are in my band
Swinging in my pendant
Yeah, I am the talisman
[Verse]
Grounded, I need focus, man
Put it all in a backwards hand
Had to make sure that I understand
Before I go further without a plan
Had to make sure that I collect
Understand that it isn't in respect
They gonna get what they jus' gonna get
I can't help it, we can't help it, we can't help the man
They subservient since other plans, yeah, like the talisman
Had to make my own magic, balance in the hands
Of course, you ain't by yourself
Understand it's not a cell
I can't put you through no hell if you by yourself
That's jus' what it is, grounded
Tryna be grounded forever, man
Feet on earth, roots digging down
Present in the body, mind, and spirit
Anchored from my soles to my crown
So mote it be, ayy, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm the talisman
Second pentacles of mercury, ayy
That's what, that's my planet, G
You can't mess with none of our astrology, man
I'm the talisman, yeah
I'm the talisman, yeah, I'm the talisman
