Cruel World (Southern Virtue Remix)
Hard-hitting Southern-influenced hip-hop groove reworked with funk DNA: live-feeling kick and snare, foot-stomping rhythm, hand-claps on the backbeat, rubbery bassline replacing heavy 808s, Gritty funk stabs and wah-tinged synth chords shimmer in the background, chopped vocal ad-libs bounce rhythmically, Cinematic brass hits used sparingly for attitude, not menace, Hypnotic, chant-ready hook, Playful, clever rap delivery with melodic spoken-sung fragments—confident, charismatic, lightly flirtatious, Larger-than-life but human, celebratory not haunted, Modern, warm, punchy production with groove front and centre

Lyrics
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
But anger’s loud when you’re treated this mean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
But anger’s loud when you’re treated this mean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
I try to stay calm, try to stay clean
But anger’s loud when you’re treated this mean
