6) Savant (Tucson, AZ) - Tucson, AZ resident, by way of El Paso, TX and Chicago, IL, Gregory “Savant” Daggett has always possessed a passion for music and literary arts. Involved in general music since age 7, and a trumpet player since age 10, he wasn’t officially exposed to hip hop until age 12. Although no particular emcee caught his ear right away, he was intrigued with the entire concept of an individual or a group of people speaking over instrumentation in an intensely rhythmic lyrical form, oftentimes telling semi-autobiographic tales relating to a fictionalized counterpart. He became inspired to write and partake of the art of emceeing after hearing the 1999 classic “Black on Both Sides” by Dante Smith and honed his emceeing chops at the lunch room ciphers of Chicago high schools Whitney M. Young Magnet and George Washington Carver. He has since dedicated every verse, every bar and every word to achieving the ever elusive sense of balance in this hallowed art form
Beautiful World
Savant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If the surival of our species is for you to decide
People wanna know what you're planning to do
When it comes down to just us two
If all else fails you can lie to us some more
That never failed once in the human history before
It's easy since you don't have to look us in the eye
When you blow our children into the sky
We live in a beautiful world
You will die if you know the plan
We live in a beautiful world
You can rule if you were born a man
We live in a beautiful world
Mediocrity is blessing my soul
We live in a beautiful world
I thought the point was to exist
But no...
Who can we blame?
When it's the devil's turn to reign
Who can we blame?
When the morals go down the drain
Who can we blame?
Who can we blame? Without using the winery
We live in a beautiful world
You will die if you know the plan
We live in a beautiful world
You can rule if you were born a man
We live in a beautiful world
Mediocrity is blessing my soul
We live in a beautiful world
I thought the point was to exist
But no...
The lyrics of Savant's song "Beautiful World" seem to address the darker side of humanity and the power struggles that occur with the potential extinction of the human race. The first verse seems to suggest that there may be a select few who have the power to determine the fate of the human race and choose which individuals survive. The suggestion that lying is a tactic that those in power have used throughout history adds to the ominous tone of the song. The metaphor of blowing children into the sky reflects the idea of nuclear war and the destruction that could occur. The chorus, with its repetition of "we live in a beautiful world," seems ironic in light of the darker themes explored in the verses. The line "you will die if you know the plan" suggests that there may be secrets being kept from individuals that could ultimately lead to their demise. The line "you can rule if you were born a man" hints at the patriarchal power structures underlying the song's themes. The third verse explores the idea of blaming others when the moral compass of society goes awry, but the question "who can we blame?" is posed in a way that suggests there may be no easy answers.
