We will defeat this challenge
We will rise to the occasion despite our differences
We have a plan
We will not allow our citizens to endure this type of crisis for longer than they have to
We are prepared to do all that is necessary to provide assistance
We will come together
We will produce the necessary supplies to weather this storm and ensure the safety and security of our people
But more than that
We will help all people
We will reclaim our humanity
People talkin like the end has arrived
Can’t go outside without an N95
Stay away from me man I might survive
Sunlight and friends man I am deprived
Spring time here, feels like everything died
Plants start to bloom while I stay inside
I don’t wanna get too dark on ya now
But I went for a walk and the park’s shut down
Sanity collide with insanity my mind
Is manic when it’s panicking can it be a sign I didn’t sanitize what I thought in time
Infected my mind like COVID nine-teen
Talking with my nephews on the iPhone FaceTiming wide-screen
Better go and wash your hands if you touched anything good hygiene
(Chorus 2x)
Raise ya hand if ya anxious anxious
Throw a peace sign when the times get dangerous
Feels like now we all speak the same language
How many more months now till we vanquish
Obviously we were hanging by a thread, throw a wrench in the gear and watch the fear spread
So many people living on the edge
The wet markets open so they can get fed
Makes you really wonder what is really under the surface of success when your business going under
We really made a blunder exploiting one another
Taking every resource from our blessed mother
Bill Gates predicted 5 years ago
This exact thing would happen so there you go
We watch Italy as they undergo
Horrifying things like it’s just a show
Doctors screaming I don’t wanna live
Explaining what is happening to a little kid
See the biggest gap from the poor to the rich
All I got say man is life’s kind of a bitch
(Chorus 2x)
Raise ya hand if ya anxious anxious
Throw a peace sign when the times get dangerous
Feels like now we all speak the same language
How many more months now till we vanquish
Alright Nick man, gotta be positive
What if I’m tested and it reads positive
Have a better attitude man you got a lot to give
You talk about energy practice what you talk to kids (Gotta walk the walk and live)
Think about your mom think about your dad
They’re in the age range where this could be bad
Gotta be a rock for your wife just remember
She’s gotta go to work in a crowded call center
Where’s the silver lining I think I’m going mad
Take a look at history gotta go back
After the plague came the Renaissance and
Knowledge became the thing that was in demand
Pretty soon you’ll see a societal shift
Changing how we live cuz the point was really missed
If we don’t try harder we could really risk
Ruinin the future for all of our kids
(Chorus 2x)
Raise ya hand if ya anxious anxious
Throw a peace sign when the times get dangerous
Feels like now we all speak the same language
How many more months now till we vanquish
When we finally get a chance to go back to our normal lives, the most essential part of moving forward will be to remember
Remember the lessons we learned during this time
Remember how we found ways to connect with each other despite our differences
Remember that we CAN be better and we must

Dear future self, I’m writing this letter to tell you about the current state of the world in the year I’m living in, in hopes that if time travel is ever created you will never return to this year for it is too dangerous. You need to know the following...
(Chorus)
It’s 2020 things are so heavy (2X)
Wish they told us last year better get ready
If you build a time machine never go back
To the year 2020 you might never come back
I ain’t sleeping
I’ve been reading all my bill of rights
Used to be a bright future but it’s like they Killed the lights
Thinking bout a simple life
All my thoughts that fill the nights
Got me wide awake
Thinking will they come and pick a fight
Black lives matter, so do all the other ones
But I’ve never suffered like an African American
Never knowing where the gun, shot will come from
Whether from a cop or a another where they come from
It’s 2020 we glorify the tiger king
Escaping into Netflix
Yes it’s so tiring
A fresh perspective
That’s what I try to bring
Buildings in flames
Rubber bullets stay firing
Dear Kanye I really like your sneakers
But I’m really so confused when I hear your speeches
I hope you go and get some help
And prove that your a genius
But you’ve got a ways to go before I call you Yeezus
Youtube conspiracies
What they all believe
The truth is hard to find
Unless you really read
There’s validity in some of what you see
But look into the other side
Before you just agree
Critical thinking going to extinction
Flippin truth and fiction ridiculous predictions
No one wants to listen
And understand what’s different
Every day all I hear’s a bunch of contradictions
(Chorus)
It’s 2020 things are so heavy (2x)
Wish they told us last year better get ready
If you build a time machine never go back
To the year 2020 you might never come back
Every candidate should talk about human trafficking
People bought and sold
Like products put in packaging
This is something ravaging
The world and it’s saddening
To know we keep battling
Child kidnapping an
Pornography, no one wants to talk about the horrors and atrocities
People as commodities
These are not anomalies that barely ever happen
It happens on a massive scale with barely a reaction
Dear Ashton Kutcher you really are the man
Make me wanna want to do better
Lend a helping hand
Everything you stand for we need in a President
For every rich person you set a better precedent
The elephant in the room
Is children without voices
Another elephant is poor people without choices
Slavery is here and it never went away
In 2020 this is where we’re at it’s sad to say
(Chorus)
It’s 2020 things are so heavy (2X)
Wish they told us last year better get ready
If you build a time machine never go back
To the year 2020 you might never come back
The year started off with a global Pandemic
Poor people more affected cuz of systemic problems in economies
They never addressed it (they never corrected)
Thousands are dying that couldn’t be protected
We need a collective directive perspective
Instead we fightin bout- the November election
Now we gotta deal with voter suppression for two opposing sides that will never be respected
Dear Corporations getting billions from the Fed (villains)
While people stuck at home
And Children going unfed (starvin)
You really show us all how the system was broken
Before this all happened and now the wound is open
Some labeled fascists others labeled terrorists
Don’t believe the hype
When they make them look the scariest
But not everything is fake news
But we live in a time when your bound to get confused
(Chorus)
It’s 2020 things are so heavy (2x)
Wish they told us last year better get ready
If you build a time machine never go back
To the year 2020 you might never come back
In conclusion, if you’re reading this, it means there is a future beyond now and we made it through this time like all others that have past as I know we will. Just be careful to never let any of this happen again.
Sincerely,
Cyrus
