I’d rather sit and watch the static crackle on the screen
Than to see what we’re capable of doing, mute the screams
You’d rather skip this song than hear reflections on the state
On the hate
Can’t write lullabies when shock keeps me awake
Consequences come depending on the flag you wave
You can take
Sleeping under sun but
What about the rain?
Are you feeling big and bold and brave?
Or will the channel be the only thing you find the strength to change?
Lost connection
Lost connection
Lost connection
Lost connection
Ignorance is bliss, you feel you’ve got to get away
Full display, forced displacement in 1080 4K
Close your eyes and switch to 53 from 48
Children’s wakes, then cut to a commercial break
Table for two, me and my complicity and suddenly
I’ve lost my appetite, it’s getting hard to breathe
Intertwined, interconnected every life and death
Complicated or just inconvenient?
Are you feeling moved to make a choice?
Or will voices forfeit in the end to never-ending noise?
(Am I feeling big and bold and brave?
Or will the channel be the only thing I’ve got the strength to change?)
I lost connection
No wifi
I logged out of the twitter and the instagram Timelines
They bouta ban the Tik Toks
But pulling off war crimes
The babies drinking lead
Can’t find a spark like a Flint rock
They dropping off diss tracks
Distracting from the issues in the world
Like I get that
I try to keep my mind away from negative mishaps
Mishandling the ways they treat our people but Gift wrap
The dream
See the screens crack
The screams start to spin back
Police got the pen packed
I’m black as the pen that they used to write off the Fam damn
The chances we taking the ones that change up the landscape
Escaping reality they keep playing their mind games
I lost connection
