‘Scuze me, pardon me, if I may intrude
I’ve got a question to ask, hoping I could ask you
Seems like we’re falling apart
Is there nothing we can do?
Is this year gonna get better, or are we forever screwed?
In January, starting with the Australia fires
2020’s been draining us like a vampire
Though Australia’s a throwback, bet you forgot about it
Used to be all over the news, they’d scream it, they’d shout it
Now? Scroll a bit further down your feed, past murder hornets and the Bryants
You’ll find it between impeachment and WW3
I’m wondering how long our country can continue
Shattered pieces of America fall out a broken window
If we follow this path, what will become of us?
Is this version of America the one that fades in darkness?
This pandemic made me question how America defines the word “free”
“Free” depends on your wealth, your status, your connections,
Turns out that’s what determines your life satisfaction
Hard work, too, but that’s just one factor
Having money in your pocket will lift you up faster
‘Cuz single mothers working nights to support 2 kids
Pick food or heat in winter, one’s gotta skip
Bet the king of the company has better health benefits
See, the pandemic added 565 billion dollars to the pockets
Of American billionaires, to me it’s pretty shocking
Especially when the wealth gap is growing ‘stead of dropping
Funny how the pandemic enforced the systemic
Covid infects all, but only some stay infected
Cuz while wealthy pockets pay for life-saving prescriptions
The poor can’t pay rent and then they get evicted
Now we’re dealing with Little Miss Covid-19
The monster that’s been making us hide in quarantine
If this was a horror movie, we’d all be yelling up at the screen
“Karen, you need a mask, not hy-droxy-chloro-quine!”
Why ignore instructions that’d result in reductions
Of American losses– 280 thousand gone already
While we wait for the end, cases rise, nice and steady
Some states won’t shut down, living their lives, mellow
Meanwhile, I’ll never again see mi abuelo
It’s not just the dead, some get hospitalized, others get strokes
And yet, some would look me in the eye and tell me it’s a hoax
Cutting holes in their masks, crying when not let into stores
Quarantine would already be over if we all just stayed indoors
Shows how little some people value facts
Stayed away & won’t listen,
The wrong kind of social distance
Only taking it seriously once the crisis was here
Once we were out of toilet paper, then everyone’s heart were full of fear
Now we got presidential puppets prying into the CDC
Sending the data to the office, not the people directly
This president’s made it evident he doesn’t care about the public
As he gets tested daily, unemployment is still doubling
Plus, job losses hit black Americans harder than most
But we solved that, right? With our black Instagram posts?
RIP to George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery
“Put your hands up on the count of three!”
“One!” Bang! Bang! Bang!
Didn’t even get to three–
But, officer, he cannot breathe
Oh?
So he’s still a threat, that’s still how he’s seen
No matter that Trayvon was only seventeen
As black babies are gunned down by men who will not be accountable
Cries of “They’re all looters!” and “Respect authority” drown ‘em out
Now this got me thinking about the protests
Wait, now I think I know less
‘Cause so many people who said they were for equality
Suddenly don’t want no rioting
Ma’am, you can keep pledging to your flag,
But please, learn the history
This country was built on the backs of the people you look down on
Your hate slithering around like a python
Meanwhile, the colonial patriots you look up to were much more dangerous
They’d tar & feather British loyalists as mob vengeance
See, America’s always been fueled by change and resistance
We tried making peace with the British, they didn’t listen
So we picked up our pistols and fought for our existence
That’s why I want to thank Virus Covid-19
For exposing the inequalities tearing us at the seams
From BLM to ignorance to wealth inequality
We’re opening our eyes to what Covid finally helped us see
My message is to not let 2020 give us PTSD
Cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Will lead to Post Traumatic Self Destruction
Let’s construct a nation worth fighting for
Worth dying for
Most importantly, worth standing for
These past few months could be the ones
That were emotionally evocative, mentally provocative
So before the memory of this year fades
And only exists in human kind’s history books ‘bout past decades
Let’s take what we’ve learned, from this year and the past
Let’s work together to make an America that can last
