How many times have you just scratched your head and said "Let me get this straight" - I also released an R & B full production version that I really like.

Let Me Get This Straight Lyrics 

Why does so much
Not make sense?
Why do so many
Blindly defend?
Why do questions
Get pressured to end?
Where are the reasons
Things don’t mend?

Two opposing sides
Are adamant they’re right
At the same time
The left is right
The right is wrong
Somehow in some way
Both sides are evil
Singing the same song
(Curiosity dead)

Let me get this straight
(Get this straight)
Pinch me harder
Am I awake?
In a Twilight Zone way
War is always the solution
Did all our global leaders
Flunk conflict resolution?
(Nah man!)

Let me get this straight
‘Cause I wanna know
What I’m missing
Why progress is slow
Why joining dots offends
Their delicate show
And how serving
Smells more like power tripping

So we are divine
While biologically defined
Then a godless agenda
Trapped with pronoun genders
Ask ‘em all, who we really are
They act like rock stars
Yet avoid the question
Sell a bunch of um’s and r’s

Let me get this straight
(Let me get this straight)
Pinch me harder
Am I awake?
Life is precious
Is what they say
But when it starts
They can’t name the day?

Let me get this straight
‘Cause I wanna know
What I’m missing
Why progress is slow
Why joining dots offends
Their delicate show
And how serving
Looks more like controlling

(Ooooooh!)
‘Cause I wanna know
What I’m missing
Why progress is slow
Why joining dots offends
Their delicate show
And how serving
Looks more like controlling

I put a lot of things
That sense don’t make
On a ‘what the fuck’ shelf
But the shelving breaks
Collapsing under the weight
Of my denial
Of all the charades
I could not get straight

Let me get this straight
(Let me get this straight)
Now this does take the cake!
Decades of failed predictions
From the many gate keepers
Who disagree on causes
Of climate disasters

Let me get this straight
‘Cause I wanna know
What I’m missing
Why progress is slow
Why joining dots offends
Their delicate show
And how serving
Feels more like manipulating
Feels more like manipulating
Feels more like manipulating

As we do our research
They mock that we try
Insist we follow experts
That are almighty wise
And when they’re not
And their advice harms
They gaslight
Flee out of sight
Into the dark of night

Let me get this straight
(Let me get this straight)
The endless penny pinching
Shocked me awake
They insist on blind trust for them
And distrust for us
But we’re smart enough
To candidate elect? (Nah!)

Let me get this straight
‘Cause I wanna know
What I’m missing
Why progress is slow
Why joining dots offends
Their delicate show
And how serving
Smells more like power tripping
Looks more like controlling
Feels more like manipulating
That’s so crooked, hey?!

Let Me Get This Straight - Unplugged

I create music as a hobby and as a therapy and provide workshops for others to do that too, using AI to help produce tracks. I also create empowerment systems to help people at scale increase their confidence and resilience by engaging their adaptive nature and work towards living a purposeful life. While all my song lyrics are written by me, and some tracks come from my personal compositions including instrumentals that I add lyrics to, I use AI to merge these with songs I share with you here. It really makes you realise how important your own words are in a song.
