Solace

From jump street

We vowed we would never adjust and just be

Us, as the voice of the silent, unseen

Good souls, trumped by the suss who succeed

In snatchin' headlines, perpetuatin' the cycle

The world's gone mad, we're elevatin' the psychos

Mass-shooter profile stories are must-see

And all the while, gun laws never changin' is mind blowin'

Not to mention

Slavery's alive, disguised as private prisons

Speakin' of free labor, the freedom to choose labor

Should never have been removed from the bodies and minds of women

The times we live in are riddled in harsh truths

People actin' fishy, we gotta be harpoons

All these odds moves got me like "I can't even"

Off the beaten path is very much en route

The destination's levitation

Take your mental to a higher place with records fresher than echinacea

Escape the world's ills with some ill demonstrations

Of these demolition-like breakdowns, devastatin'

The status quo

You will now witness the strength of average joes who ain't tryna crack the code in a digital rabbit hole

Silly internet trends where most ridiculous wins

We're cut from the classic mold

Where gettin' on was a reflection of bein' nice

Beats mixed together with bars like beans and rice

Songs were sung in the Key of Life

Nobody's lovin' love today, 'cause all the hate is receivin' likes

To be precise, we gotta flip that

That's why we feel somethin' like a diss track

To a dysfunctional society entirely distracted

By the dumb stuff goin' numb to the things that, in fact

Impact how we come together

I know you think your little Tweet'll ruffle feathers

Goin' at opposing views with somethin' clever

All them beefs only feed the one percenters

It's about time we prioritize simple kindness

Accept the fact we got different mindsets

Our music symbolizes a moment of harmony synchronizin'

All walks, so may our one groove give 'em solace

I feel myself maintainin'

Ever since I turnt off them push notifications

It really had me thinkin'

Have I become the dog and my phone is Pavlov

Good boy, sit, stay

Now see this and get it swung into a rage

These is strange days, where strangers make anger

And people get strangled and streamed from 4 angles

Lose a life on Live and the algo thrives

So I'll go outside when truth is a lie

And nuance is loosened

And men don't even listen so you gotta choose a side

And women get clipped when they rollin' they squad

'Cause you don't really like the way they rock they hijab

And our kids get robbed

'Cause a bachelor degree don't guarantee no good job

Bachelors I see streamin' high-power men pods

Strugglin' with confidence, don't listen to them, dawg

Them demagogues been a fraud

Ask yourself, really though, who they benefit off

Let's all take a breath or two

Doomscrollin' continues to kill the best of you

I pray for the rest of you to get some rest in you

May this piece of art be the restart of the heart

We seen the effects of less human connection

Stress we all carry should be our best lesson

Unless we all very exhausted of all this

We scratched the surface of how odd it could all get

Sea level risin' and storms be more ornery

And instead of bread we put dough in our armories

There's somethin' in our arteries

I'm pretty sure our health don't really have to be how hard it be

I ain't a mind-reader or fortune-teller

I do know we in this together

Me and you can do better

Let's write Mother Earth a love letter

Tell her thank you for all that she do

For her patience with all of us foo's

And you ain't gotta worry or hurry up we will clean up

And me and URF Tone'll keep it buck and give 'em solace
