[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1: Joey Vantes]
I could never be fascist, somebody tryna race to the classes
If you see 'em where the math is, then numbers are drastic
Cash rules everything surroundin' the casket
Wuhan to Houston, Corona in transit
I'm watchin' all the news, I really feel like I had it
Came back from Vegas fully wrapped in a hazmat
Holdin' in the cough, don't want nobody to have it
Hydroxychloroquine, plus to see you come blast it, hah!
But, something got me thinkin' this is different
Political, economic, right from the district
Shelves are clearin' off, stocks divin' by the second
There's a recipe to garner madness through method
Divide and conquer requires a sponsor
I'm waitin' on the words from the Father
Social distance is the medicine, I been listenin'
I just packed the bag, somethin' in my spirit quickenin'
[Interlude 1: Joey Vantes]
Yeah, I hear this is bioterrorism from another government
It's a means of backlash against ours, y'know?
I mean, I don't know
Christ might be comin' back again
Better look to the sky
'Cause it's crazy out here in these streets
Haha, 'cause no one's out here in these streets
[Verse 2: Ruslan]
I'ma tell, tell you the truth, but it's kinda ill
I was out here elevatin', got a call that mama fell
Broke her shoulder, plus she need the hips fixed, it's kinda real
Durin' the corona, sent her home with percs and Benedril
I wish that I could tell ya that it's been a thrill
Been binge-watchin' Dave Ramsey just for the feels of hope
My finances been straight, but I'm tryna cope
Mama coughin', I'm just makin' sure that she don't choke
Well, at least she cannot smoke, so
Somethin' positive, I do suppose, bro
I'm just tryna handle it durin' the worst pandemic
That I've seen in my lifetime, people so scandalous
I asked my homie "Who's a RN?"
"Is the cure worse than all the financial panickin'?"
He answered, "I don't know
I'm just happy mama got her operation on her shoulder"
[Interlude 2: Joey Vantes]
I need somebody
To tell me what's goin' on right now
I mean, I can't even find no food to buy at the store
Everything's getting swiped off the shelves
Pullin' money out the bank
Government talkin' about stimulus packages
I need somebody to tell me
What's goin' on, like, right now
[Verse 3: Joey Vantes]
I had a dream I was flyin', then woke up in the sky
They tried to pass me the dutchy, politely, I declined
How do you cultivate seeds producin' fruitful lines?
A complicated collage, call it the life of Pi
You play it safe, but you'll regret it, catch it like it's a [?]
Suited up like the Klan, they comin' to take collection
All for that [?], you're supposed to be special
Somethin' for us to share, this moment is existential
Tryna get out my skin, I'm feelin' this settin' in
The magnitude of this fact is deeper than oceans, yeah
It's deeper than oceans
Quarantine on max, I'm tryna protect my kin
