Son of Tony has already paired "Foresight" with "Black House" in a black-and-white video from the forthcoming More Than I Was project, with production split between Standoutmusik and Heirowayne. This is the song on its own the Heirowayne mix, in colour, two minutes eighteen, shot again by Scorcese Tiz. The separation suits it. Heard alone, the verse reads as a single sustained meditation on foresight and its cost. "I possess foresight and I'm with the force like frigid temperatures," he opens, and then spends the rest of the record on what foresight is actually for: funerals. "There's ghosts in every hood. Try some of them die young. Memorials everywhere and teddy bears don't describe them." The detail work is doing the lifting medics who arrive too late, balloons and candles that don't answer anything. "So what's balloons and candles when you zipped up by a vandal?" The closing movement is the sharpest part, because it turns the title into an accusation about witnessing: they'll read about it in the paper, he says, written in black and white the phrase doing double duty and by then it's already happened. Then: "Phones got recorders." That's the whole modern condition in three words. No label or mix credits listed, and More Than I Was still has no date. The hashtags point to Buffalo; a sampled voice at the top of the track mentions San Antonio, and I can't resolve which one is home.
