What's New? Lyrics

Yo

Hey

Hey, man!

You good?

What's new with you?

Oh, you know, same ol' same

Working for the man, so I can earn a lil' change

Tryna make a living, made it to another day

Building up my name 'til I'm headlining a stage

And I'm trying not to rage with everything around me

This world so cold, but it's honestly not astounding

No stability or support from the surroundings

Mass shootings hitting record highs, but who's counting?

Certain counties I can't go to

If I try to speak up, I'm "too vocal"

Politicians ain't doing what they s'posed to

And that's reason these kids be getting exposed to

Things that they ain't s'posed to see

Realities that they ain't even s'posed to think were possible

Getting killed and failing a quiz shouldn't be equally probable

And sitting back and doing nothing is simply illogical

But here we are on the day-to-day

Seeing we don't really matter 'long as they get paid

But they claim they "pro-life," man, it's such a shame

They say they got a plan, but what's the end game?

People suffering more as they making personal gains

And the way they funding these wars is nothing short of insane

No amount of retorts could ever truly explain

The total lack of remorse that we see on display

Man, it's all on the timelines

But some turn a blind eye

And it don't take an intellect that's equal to Einstein

To understand their actions are a crime against mankind

But I guess if it ain't hit your news station, it's all fine

Now, tell me, am I right?

Outta sight, outta mind

Closing up the apps to have a little "me time"

Can only do so much, but we gotta keep trying

So, I'm throwing up the fist like it's the new peace sign

In solidarity

And I won't put it down until we end the disparity

'Cause way too many people don't see a problem, apparently

Like climate-deniers tryna downplay the severity

Now, how you gonna tell me global warming don't exist when the world's on fire

And, despite all the stats, facts, and data points I bring, Imma still be a liar

How that sound?

Make it make sense

All this military spending while people living in tents

Walking all through the street, begging for spare cents

And affordable housing bills are barely making a dent

This minimal wage got people barely making the rent

So, of course, they gonna go on strike, what you expect?

For them to keep on working with yo' foot up on their necks?

Understand that everybody is done with the disrespect

And I've been so fed up that I just had to get this off my chest

I just had to get this off my chest

Free Palestine

Free Sudan

Free Congo

Free Armenia

Free Tibet
