While I don’t agree with his position of spreading the blame around with respect to our current race relations (it’s a variation of victim-blaming and very problematic), I think there are other sentiments in his message that make it pass-worthy.
This song was inspired by the events of the past 12 to 18 months involving police brutality, media portrayal and criminalization of people of colour and the varying opinions as it relates to race relations. The media portrayal of people of colour has in a way tainted our perceptions in many circumstances and situations. I approached this song from the vantage point of an observer (first verse) and that of a concerned parent (second verse). Check this out and see where I’m coming from. This is the way I see things from my vantage point. There is plenty of blame to go around. The first step in achieving any sort of resolution is to first acknowledge that there is a problem, then uniting as a people (regardless of skin colour) to find productive ways to move forward. There is NOTHING more counterproductive than having your problems and concerns dismissed as trivial or irrelevant. This is the core message in this one. Enjoy!

Fak man. The fire that is Frankie Payne‘s latest joint gets the visual treatment. This guy’s like De La Soul. Gets better with age! Everybody say South Side Jane.
Frankie Payne is back with another banger “Waiting to die”. With hard hitting lyrics and an intricate flow pattern Frankie spits nothing but hot lava all over this track. The beat, produced by Fameless beats a production team home grown in Toronto is a powerful composition of banging heart pumping drums and intense melodies of sound manipulation. Waiting To Die is about Frankie’s legacy and life. His realization through life experiences that we are all just Waiting to Die if we aren’t do anything. Its motivation music!
