The song title, “Skyscraper,” and song concept came from the vibe that M.I. caught listening to the beat. “I just had the feeling of being on top a skyscraper,” says M.I., “overlooking the confusion going on in the city.” And while the casual listener might assume that feeling would lead to a serene track, “Skyscraper,” as with all of Constant Deviants’ music requires a closer listen. “Even at the top, you’re still part of the chaos around you,” M.I. remarks, and drives that sentiment home throughout the track with lines like, “Bodymore, Murdaland, man we got this/ Pop, pop, bang, bang/ Shoot em up mobsters/ Cops ‘n robbers/ .45s, Glocks and choppers.”
