c7ew - welcome to 2020 lyrics
d+mn why i’m writing this in 2020
why you bumping this in 2020
should be living life in 2020
oh well welcome to 2020 look
on the run like a bad sentence
cuz in america we dodging police and pandemics
i’m stressed out and lost count of black souls lifted
they want to keep us six feet under thats soulcial distance
only fear my presence cuz i’m gifted and i’m different wheres the loving
strip us of our rights till we left with nothing i can’t
now my wifey can’t survive
now my daughter gotta wonder why her daddy ain’t alive
and k!llers still lurking yet my uncle in the cеll got d+mn
is my skin tone really a threat
could i rеally be next
wish this black flesh came with a vest
wish a safe sp+ce came with a home thought that was standard
right now i’m leaning heavy on god like ned flander
cuz i’m losing hope trying cope and can’t hug my momma
that just come with being black in america
swear they never have our backs in america d+mn
why i’m writing this in 2020
why you bumping this in 2020
should be living life in 2020
oh well welcome to 2020
batons on the ribs like sweet baby rays
the wrong way to live, still the streets they be plagued
with a badge and gun out havin some fun
now the eye holes cut in the sheets gravy stained
channeling my ancestors ask to use the voodoo
eatin ramen rhymin you can hear the magic through the noodles
mix of silk da shocka, chaka khan and shaka zulu
its common sense to know that stop and frisk can turn to stop and shoot you
sh+t my heart died when trayvon’s stopped beatin
heard george floyd bae moms not sleepin
and we all wanna act woke with arms on our d+mn throats
just another black ghost gon screamin
we up in the cages after arraignment look a the pain we been through
breonna taylor we are the same and look at the way they did you
this sh+t is racial this ain’t no fable this is a fatal issue
dicaprios call us nappy hoes until django hit you
i got so much time today yea
how my folks gon find a way yea
how my folks gon find a way yea
livin good won’t die the same
welcome to 2020
freedom ain’t free my n+gga don’t be deceived
took kaps pension for getting on bending knee
took that same knee and put it on floyd neck
and i can’t help to think that one of my boys next
wasn’t with the looters but i bought it from the boosters
i don’t know the shooters but i know a couple a shooters
slide like a scooter then fly to bermuda
buncha homicides and hallelujahs
i don’t f+ck with cats like luka
i need six feet that’s crucial
and all these free bands like future yea
i wanna take this mask off and risk it
but i just lost my grandma to covid i’m livid
can’t sleep cause my nightmares vivid
crooked police and politician listen
can’t help but feel taunted as strange fruit dangles
i know they want me cuffed to my ankle
d+mn why i’m writing this in 2020
why you bumping this in 2020
should be living life in 2020
oh well welcome to 2020
welcome welcome to 2020
vision seems blurry blurry
see the people scurry scurry
we was in a hurry hurry
rush headed nowhere livin life blind
then somethings thought we’d never see in our lifetime
shut it all down
man did it pandemic d+mn listen
quarantined war and things rioting why can’t we
all get along here’s a easy answer
the system made the whole country bleed its cancer
racists used to runnin sh+t go and tell
edgar hoover been gone death to the cointel
death to sambo black rambo was dorner
truth like sojourner duped the slow learners
they served yaw with curve b+lls now it’s time to break wrist
shake up the industry implement the face lift
my president was black can’t even claim this dude
i’m red black and green as much as red white and blue word to crew
i got so much time today yea
how my folks gon find a way yea
how my folks gon find a way yea
livin good won’t die the same
