lyrics
VERSE 1 (Cash The Pro)
When the past sought to have us jammed up
Fee at last but the tasks got grander
Wait for graphs but the math don’t add up
Cause the mass wanted space no nasa
Some would laugh as they passed off data
Some got mad while they asked for answers
But all it had made us bask in cancer, mask on mask off no panda
Chance to breathe no asthma, it’s time to air em out
Cause all we hear about & share about is things we don’t really care about
Road to success is a test more of how you clear the route
Most do our best but the rest live off our fear and doubt
And fits of rage cause some don’t wanna admit the change
As most just strive to stay alive without a living wage
Can’t play on this critical stage cause critics will test you
But when those warriors catch you they just place you in the invisible cage
We deserve community but we’re served up foolery
From shepherds who offer protection and serve it up brutally
The sheep hope for herd immunity but wolves want unity
So we got the band together to disturb the lunacy
It’s crazy ain’t it they thought we’d take it with no resistance
Ignored the crying for help but made it no assistance
Slowly you’ll know the difference and we gon’ show you this is
How you bridge the divide across all of this social distance
HOOK
Tired of the news?
Let’s have a conversation
Tell me what you choose
And say it again, say it again
REFRAIN
Not askin for what was
We wanna bring back love
Together we can become stronger
It’s clear we’ve had enough
Ain’t gonna ask for much
We need to hold on a little bit longer
So say it again, say it again
Say it again, say it again
Let’s get back to love
HOOK
Tired of the news?
Let’s have a conversation
Tell me what you choose
And say it again, say it again
VERSE 2 (Tyler Durdin)
It been a year now, ya think it never changing
Only thing, certain, in life, is death is entertainin’
So get your medications, vaccines, and demonstrations
We can’t breathe and people crying out for ventilation
It ain’t a riot, tryin ta find time for education
Stuck in our houses, while teachers dyin for restorations
The paint has faded and day to day ya still pacin
That’s why, we chasing dreams they think in need a replacing
In case you new, this contagion contains a case a clues
Who knew that they could choose to contain us if we can’t shake it loose
Can’t make a move in this game when every gain ya lose
We racin to a place where they can say what we can say or do
We losing steam don’t know what it mean to be a human being
Everyone hustlin just cause you say it don’t mean ya mean it
I’m feeling defeated, each day we rinse and repeat it
There seem to be a lotta reasons people mean for no reason
Every second, checkin texts, the message is tech’s killing us
The murderous villains are heads you ain’t even heard a yet
So ya, blame all yer misery on fellas ya never met
Then go shaming a victim for saying things that never said
It is what it is, I guess it killing my mood
It making me crazy, I think I got a case of the flu
They take your taxes while fascists are turning crack into crude
It’s so confusing, each contusion’s either black or it’s blue
I’d like to think… life matters the fact is it ain’t true
That’s why I’m at this tiny desk with the crew rappin the blues
I’d like to think that life matter… no matter the hue
That’s why I’m glad we back performing, hope you glad we back... too

Say it again, say it again
