Hex Knife Co-written by burialgoods and R.J. Williamson Beats and rap by burialgoods Mixed by burialgoods and Sagely_One

[Intro] …in the city's upper districts, where nightly attacks have the nobility worried… …with reports describing stabbing murders leaving no blood on the scene… …that some kind of cursed artifact, or possibly multiple… …city officials say wizard crime is again suspected, as calls for a curfew… …the wizard menace needs to be contained! …the killer or killers remain unidentified… …that panic is unwarranted and the situation remains under control.

[Chorus] Got a dagger in my robes and a minion on my right I'm looking for a reason, got a plan for tonight I bought a cursed dagger from a dude down the street For one gold piece, I got some freaks I wanna reap Dagger in my left hand and a homie on my right I'm looking for a reason, like a bitch I wanna smite Concealed on my body as I'm walking down the street I got a place to be, I got some freaks I wanna meet

[Hook] I got that hex knife, send ya to the next life (…I'm now being told that there was another blood fueled rampage last night…) I got that hex knife come and get ya neck sliced (…and the city guard still have no suspects in connection with the crimes…) I got that hex knife, send ya to the next life (…paladins suspect demonic pacts may be involved…) I got that hex knife, come and get ya neck sliced (…all peasants are urged to be home before dark until further notice…)

[Verse] Stalking with a purpose, if you see me you're a witness Hands in my pockets, on official wizza business Homie got the itch to kill, we gon' make it personal Gnomish crafted wand concealed, counter-irreversible Focused recast trigger blast drops my mana to the floor Swig a mana potion flask, drop it, I got 20 more Charging up a hex, who's next, I'm invigorated Itchy caster finger, next wizza gets incinerated Memphis wizza shit, if you want that bag I'm holding it Gold we roll in it, wizza weed we rollin' scrolls in it Smoke I'm blowin' it, if you toke then start unfoldin' it Fitty for a dime of dank arcana stank, we stolen it

[Chorus] Got a dagger in my robes and a minion on my right I'm looking for a reason, got a plan for tonight I bought a cursed dagger from a dude down the street For one gold piece, I got some freaks I wanna reap Dagger in my left hand and a homie on my right I'm looking for a reason, like a bitch I wanna smite Concealed on my body as I'm walking down the street I got a place to be, I got some freaks I wanna meet

Symbolic Mothers Preview:

Where does Rio fit into all of this? She is Shimmer's mother. A child turned parental figure against her will. Not to mention her embryonic and fetal design. She’s squishy, pink, with large bulging eyes and a smooth bulbous head. In Season 1, Episode 6, Singed states that Rio is a rare mutation that he cultivated. Implying that he had experimented with other pixiemanders in the past; until Rio was born with the desired mutation to begin synthesizing Shimmer.

Raising the question, how many other “Rio’s” suffered before her birth? Rio was kept forcibly alive by Singed. Akin to her children, she has zero autonomy. Her milk is the byproduct of her suffering, and her suffering is perpetuated through the circulation of the drug within the undercity. Shimmer users who undergo a physical degradation possess the same skin lesions, bulging purple veins, and discolored limbs present on Rio. They take after her in a physical sense, with her “illness” being passed down to them. She is as much a victim as those affected by Shimmer. As far as we know, Rio is still floating in her tube with her fate left unresolved. While the Shimmer factories may fall to ruin, the source remains out there, waiting to be rediscovered. Let's get into some womb imagery with Rio! fig. 1. The cave Viktor finds her in is a womb nestled within the earth—the birthplace of Shimmer's progenitor. fig. 2. The container she is kept in also has womb-like qualities, as Rio is shown to be in a fetal position, surrounded by liquid, with tubes resembling umbilical cords connecting to her body. It is safe to assume Rio was born in a tube. So, she’s truly returning to her place of origin.

Happy Mother's Day!
