Remember going outside and doing things? That was fun. Maybe we can do that again some time.
It was all good just a week ago/ when you think of it/was it really though? we was on the brink of it/sittin knee deep in snow/with a clown at the helm of a sinking ship/he wasn’t really thinking quick/but the was thinking though/ bout the folks that get him all his frickin dough/ he’s filthy rich/he’s stinking yo/while we sick and broke/sick and dying/we stuck at home/and he sucks at lying/
So what we gonna do?/Turn lemons into lemonade/…make something to drink and…find something to celebrate/Look for the silver lining/...and if the timing is right/I might just get out my rhyme book and I’ll get back to rhyming/
I'm not sayin that this shit ain’t stressful/Times are unprecedented it’s ok to be resentful/Take care and try not to bite the hand that’s tryna help you/it’s cool to be helpful...it's true
It's like my brother said/...be grateful it could be worse/can’t go back to yesterday/this car don’t go in reverse/...Reset ya tempo/Let go of what you deserve/we can’t be thinking me first
Maybe that’s the upside/that’s how we come outta this thing upright/some of us can loosen up, no need to be so uptight/...a man once said it’s cool to be wrong, just be kind/I’m thinking maybe he’s right/
So I’m a try to/show more patience/strive to be low maintenance/I’m a keep my promises/honestly/I’m just sayin/That this could be the moment/...it’s our onus to show up/ or another opportunity to blow it
You know what? That’s a lotta pressure huh/I realized that’s a high bar for us to measure up/Nah we don’t need no more to stress us/take this time to count your blessings/hug ya kin and find some leisure/yeah
