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

about

2020 is a single with an A side and a B side. Both songs were written and recorded in 2020 and speak about the conditions the world found itself in during a global pandemic. It speaks to the culmination of years of mismanagement and corruption by governments and how we must do a better job of defining our humanity.
