about

“Decatur 2031” is a gritty and introspective hip-hop track about the harsh realities of growing up in a broken home in a dystopian future.

The song's lyrics are full of vivid imagery and raw emotion, as the Indigo Child describes the violence, poverty, and drug abuse he has witnessed firsthand. However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope, as the Indigo Child vows to find his way out of the darkness and "shine his light."

The song is the first single from Louis.' upcoming sophomore album, “Indigo Child.” The album is a concept album that tells the story of a young person born with powers in a dystopian near-future. The song “Decatur 2031” is a powerful and important track that sheds light on the challenges faced by young people in today’s world.

lyrics

[Part 1: “Decatur 2031”]

[Verse 1: Louis.]
Broken homes to piece your poems back together in
Money flows through rock
You witness that and sell a friend
Circles round the block to down the clock
From six years old
Auntie itching out and shifting ‘bout
Your next of kin
Cousins gripped the stick
You watched it from the seat beside him
Air condition blew
He blew too when he squeezed the iron
Mirror late at night, you knew too
Think “the beast that I am”
Skate from 85 to Flatter Shoals
The streets is flying
Who consoles the youth who took a turn?
Infatuation
Grabbed his bat for practice, cracked it
Heard the pastor waiting
Laughed in action, masked in black
And blasted back with Satan
Rolled the Wood and passed it back in
Where the actors play in
Just a lamb who lost his light somewhere in laying down
Stuck inside the myth to be the king you take the crown
Stuck inside the spliff
You see the dream and break it down
Stuck inside the drip
You seem the dream
It’s fading out

[Hook 1: Louis.]
Viewing mountains
We been up, aw yeah, and
Lou been counting in the cut
Whole hand and
You been bouncing in the truck
Whole head and peace
You on vibration (You on vibration)
It’s what you make it
Tell ‘em
Viewing mountains
We been up, aw yeah, and
Lou been counting in the cut
Whole hand and
You been bouncing in the truck
Whole head and peace
You on vibration (You on vibration)
It’s what you make it
Tell ‘em

[Verse 2: Louis.]
Sometimes to find your peace you gotta find yourself
Sometimes you own supply just to be fly yourself
My mind been ride or die
How I define my health
A stepping stone
And times I might get high myself
Speaking visions of private outings
Me and my conglo detect dreams
And we see private island
The common thread not what it seams
Just know my mind providing
I don’t have lack of pride
My thoughts be more on Tesla stream of consciousness
So oddly got
Back wall of the party frequently
Still she peeping me
My dawg say she be on that frequency
And we speak decently
Just commas and common sense
Rottweilers inside the fence
My pops came up from common living
Red powder inside his kicks
I been bucking for all them
Move product, supply the job
Who working too often?
Out if you profit behind the squad
Too often behind the line
Tell ‘em bring it back bring it back
Crack a quarter, roll
Breath it off your back
Where you at?
We just

[Hook 1: Louis.]
Viewing mountains
We been up, aw yeah, and
Lou been counting in the cut
Whole hand and
You been bouncing in the truck
Whole head and peace
You on vibration (You on vibration)
It’s what you make it
Tell ‘em
Viewing mountains
We been up, aw yeah, and
Lou been counting in the cut
Whole hand and
You been bouncing in the truck
Whole head and peace
You on vibration (You on vibration)
It’s what you make it

Everything will be alright, you’ll see
