2024 needs some kind of answer to Sting's "Russians" from forty years earlier.  I gave it a decent try.
First thought is "why did you not put an instrumental intro"
But if you hear this thing about 3x then it grows on you

Lyrics:

Give me an abstraction
And I will show you that it's a mistake
A mirage in the desert, a trick of the mind that we make.
Possession being nine-tenths of the law
was bound to stick in someone's craw

The terms do well as a matter of course
Until they hit a counter-force
Legalisms tend to pall
When speciousness smacks into a wall

When the tables turn,
And the balance shifts,
The rules that once seemed solid,
Begin to drift.

The unruly state of nature
In which nations chart their course
Born of cold calculation
Without compassion or remorse

So we must be wary,
And we must be wise,
For what we think we safely hold,
Can quickly turn to lies.

Hi - I write songs - here is a selection from over the years - thank you for taking the time to listen. More info on the links below. Thanks.

I habitually chase dragons...


and I like otters 

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

SirZeets is rewriting the underground wave with emotion-packed vocals, synth-heavy beats, and a sound that fuses hyperpop, pluggnb, and melodic trap into something completely his own. Inspired by artists like Juice WRLD, Nine Vicious, Lil Yachty, iayze, Drake, and Playboi Carti, Zeets floats between vulnerability and flexing, heartbreak and hype. Whether he’s going “Put it on God” or snapping off like “Pound Cake,” every track feels like a moment.

Welcome to the soulful world of SirZeets, where poetic lyricism meets enchanting melodies. With a distinctive voice and raw storytelling, Zeets invites listeners on a sonic journey that hits deep. From introspective ballads to energetic anthems, his music captures the highs and lows of the human experience.

🎧 Genres you’ll hear:
sad trap • emo rap • melodic plug • emotional hyperpop • cloud rap • hyperpop

👋 Hey, I’m SirZeets — Audio Engineer, Producer, and Artist. I grew up in Atlanta and now live in Sarasota, FL, working hard on crafting the cleanest, hardest, and most emotionally real tracks for my fans.

Tap in — this is just the beginning.
