Javi Darko & Ja'King the Divine - Paradoxical Yet it Works

Raekwon and Tony Starks' Only Built for Cuban Linx... opens with the album's protags discussing their mutual desire to make a clean break after completing a Killer-type final job. Every track that follows can be heard as happening between or around those two plot points. Javi Darko and Ja'King the Divine's Paradoxical Yet It Works takes a similar path with one crucial distinction. On the intro, only Ja'King is prepared to make a change. Javi says, "Faith don't look to good on us right now." It's not until the outro that he comes around. Ironically, at this point Ja'King is going on the run, leaving us to wonder if and when we'll hear from JaJa again. Quantum mechanics may also figure in.
