2020 - NIEKO, Amadeus Indetzki

It’s been one hell of a ride

Depressing at times

The media’s spreading the lies

We letting it slide

Nod our head and comply

It’s stressing my mind

Lemme take em back

I’m pressing rewind

In January we saw the corpse of a man

And god it had me wondering, is it time for war with Iran?

Were they really plotting attacks? Should we believe reporters again?

Is it the truth? Is it a lie?

What should I do? Will I survive?

Then we heard about a city in China where you ain’t safe without a mask

A deadly virus is breaking out and spreading across the map

Everybody wants a doctor fast

People getting zipped up in body bags

And then Kobe & his daughter pass

In that damn helicopter crash

It’s crazy…

Britain has left the EU

While Trump’s dealing with an impeachment trial cuz of power abuse

Every day there’s a mountain of news

But I try to stay grounded and cool

Then when COVID came out of the blue

They made it sound like we bound to be doomed

Every place is a ghost town

It’s fazing the globe and taking its toll

The food and toilet paper’s sold out

The economy’s about to go south

Even the stock market broke down

Everything’s so — shady and cold there’s gotta be more to it… no doubt

No doubt I’m sick of this face mask

And I’m kind of afraid that

We can’t find a cure

It’s like a needle in a haystack

We need a vaccine ASAP

We need things to change back

But we gotta face facts

Ayo this is the new normal yeah and you gotta embrace that

They want us all to quarantine

The pandemic causing a horror scene

You better be careful and act accordingly

If you’re over the age of 43

People scared when they hear a big sneeze

You better back up 6 feet

COVID-19 cases hit peaks

This year’s like a pitbull with a ripped leash

And I ain’t lying

But I don’t see a brake light

Cuz what happened to George was a hate crime

It really cut deep like a steak knife

There was a homicide in the daylight

By a racist cop, man… so we hit the street cuz it ain’t right

And we sticking together regardless if you black, brown, yellow, red — white

And we’re gonna riot

And we’re gonna protest

And we’re gonna fight it

Not gonna go rest

Even if we’re tired

Not gonna hold back

Sick of being silent

Let the world know that

Not every cop’s a savior

If you commit a crime then you gotta pay up

And get locked up in a box by jailers

R.I.P Breonna Taylor

It’s been one hell of a ride

Aye Jesus where you at?

You must be taking a vacay
