Something maybe to help you go/be inside while we staying inside ...

lyrics

( written as my rap brain hears it <3 )

Igot allthesefears
Aboutthesethings
I think ain’t
entitled to
Let me take a bite or two
I’m biking boo
Poseidon knew
he never shoulda fucked with
with a woman
with a mouth
It is out
Me too
Tarana
burke
Gon Shout her out
it is time
Global women
Gon reclaim yo rightful place
In that balance
Chanell khalid
and be zoomed in on your local a tion

See you grinding birthing
Justice spin on earth rotation

movement so Contagious
The virus swept the notion

I made this song when struggling ppl
Was faced with more struggling
1% was bubble -ling
rebel but music ?
Coveted

Meant we was making sense
That We was getting thru
That We gon overcome
We Building something New
Something Old
Some borrowed
Something spiritual
Preparing for Tomorrow by the way we getting thru
we live today
Tending to our elders
and our global bay-bees
I’m just hear you make you sing
Wade the water
Put the revolution
Re evolution in ya twerk
Uh huh
And see how We ain’t have to pay make to it work
Uh huh
And it’s on baby baby
Call me up
Im Gon look out for you you gon look out for me
I got
Your back you got my back
And This shall pass
Like
The night time
I Want you my right side
Yeah
if it’s the right time
To be
alive live
I better live like i deserve it
folks deserting
People hurting
Others working
Overtime
Overtime
Overtime
Beyond concerning

Oceans returning

What do i fear

What am i rooting forrr 🎶
_ _ _
Beyond concerning
Oceans returning
Who am i root-

-I got all these fears about these things i ain’t entitled to

Maybe I’m right
-Oooh.
