The track transforms pain and struggle into a purposeful message, confronting difficult truths about family dysfunction, rape culture, systemic corruption, and social inequality with razor-sharp lyricism.
Produced by Mesklun and built on a Billy Cobham sample, “We Need 2 Talk” delivers a defiant statement from two of the most promising voices in Filipino hip-hop. Peaceful Gemini opens the song with a deeply personal verse, unpacking childhood wounds, substance use, and culture conditioning. Her lyrics pull no punches as it provides a courageous look into the long road of healing and the scars that shaped her identity.
Waiian follows with a verse steeped in weariness, capturing the exhaustion of living in a world where injustice is the norm and survival itself is an act of defiance. Together, their words cut deep, evoking both personal reckoning and a broader call for change.
