//lyrics//
That day I marched with you, stood beside you, and flipped off the boys in blue yeah
On that dark night, under the street lights, right in plain view oh yeah
Down through skid row, the boot-stomped meadows, but they ignore that yea
The streets are hazy, this war is crazy, I won't let you down oh no no no
I won't let them take you, won't let them take you hell no no
I won't let them take you, won't let them take you hell no no
No no oh no no no

And when our city vast and shitty
Falls to the fascists, yeah
They'll search the buildings, Antifa grilling, and probably killing, oh yea
But we won’t be troubled, down with the struggle, we’ll go into hiding oh yea
Its our Leningrad, we’ll bleed them so bad,
We’ll keep fighting side by side by side by side comrades
(Defend, Defend, Defend our freedom)

No I won't let them take you, won't let them take you hell no no
Oh no I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Our history is alive with the stories of us
History, alive with the stories of us

Should they catch us and dispatch us those separate work camps 
Stay on my feet,
They will not break me, with the passing of time
Should they kill me pride will fill me as warm as the bullets
I'll know my purpose this all was worth this I won't let you down

No I won't, no I won't, no I won't
(Defend, Defend, Defend our freedom)
I won't let them take you, won't let them take you hell no no

//lyrics//
I was born I could go anywhere I want
Free to roam, everywhere from Seattle to Vermont
Then corona crashes in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that this virus brings


Oh half of my heart’s got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart needs out
Half of my heart’s got a right mind to tell you
It’s not bad everywhere (not bad everywhere)
 
Oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I’d never see somebody else
With no plan, said the prez who can only love himself
Travel was the song I sang, ‘till the day you came
Living no other way, but staying in is lame, 


Oh half of my heart’s got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart needs out
Half of my heart’s got a right mind to tell you
It’s not bad everywhere (not bad everywhere)
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart


Pati-ence is weak
And I can only stay in a few weeks 
Down the road, later on
We will hate we did everything wrong with this, but half of my heart


I can stay in my home
(I can stay in my home)
I can stay in my home\
(I can stay in my home)
I can stay in my home with half of my
 
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my hearts booked a trip back to Baltimore
Half of my hearts inside
Half of my heart’s got a right mind to tell you
To put on a fucking mask


Half of my heart is a steak and a view
In a city without a plague
But all of heart wants the health of Man
and safety til our brighter day
 
All of my heart
Oh, All of my heart
All of my heart
Oh, All of my heart
All of my heart
Oh, All of my heart

Put on my mask before I go
All the doctors they know  
Gotta try and keep the numbers low 
Anger grows like Krakatow 
I can't believe we did this 
I guess ignorance is bliss 
Just when I thought we made it 
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? Rah!


Dumb ass shit, going to restaurants and shit
“All Lives Matter” (All lives matter)
Y’all just fucking hypocrites (Skrrt)
Were stuck in quarantine,
It isn’t like alchemy
Eating your own cuisine
Keepin up  up with the hygiene
Just wear a mask 
isn’t a difficult task 
We tried with an ask 
The time for asking is past

All your RIGHTS, take some ADVICE 
Don’t pay the price!
Don’t try and roll the dice 

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Feels like a threat
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Making me sweat
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Need an outlet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Wanna forget (uh, hey)

Scientists, the CDC, They will not quit 
Stop stressing ab-out all this clout shit
It’s ok, you were wrong, you can ad-mit
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? (Ayy)


Put on my mask before I go
All the doctors they know  
Gotta try and keep the numbers low 
Anger grows like Krakatow 
I can't believe we did this 
I guess ignorance is bliss 
Just when I thought we made it 
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? Rah!


Five-oh on the fucking loose
Finna pull up with a noose
I'm like Guevara mixed with Adams - fightin back against abuse (Woo)
Dirty cops? we runnin thru
Tell these clowns we ain't amused
Pesticide for bad apples, five oh, we got change for you
Paddy wagons when we came through
Spy planes, they got em too
One better, yet, for the courts and jails
Don’t worry, we comin too
I said no to legal practice, there’s no hope, I don't need you
Four boxes to change the world, somehow, we stuck on number 2
Last month was a fuckin' zoo
Streets flowed, like a pool of people
They’re lacking freedom, its fucking evil.
1968 its the fucking sequel
Tell Trump fuck that MAGA hat shit
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? Rah!


Put on my mask before I go
All the doctors they know  
Gotta try and keep the numbers low 
Anger grows like Krakatow 
I can't believe we did this 
I guess ignorance is bliss 
Just when I thought we made it 
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? Rah!


Mamas in danger 
Whole lot of anger
Makin a banger
Yes, do it for strangers
This is major
Gotta act saner 
Common sense is endangered 
Seems like our nature 
Blockin', I'm blockin’', my bitches all blockin'
Go to facebook and I block em all 
So angry I wanna brawl 
Spreading fake news to all y’all
All of my people, they thinkin small 
Keepin it up, we’re against the wall, uh 
Keepin calm, Hidin a little cough 
Fauci made an appeal, Trump got revealed 
All the numbers concealed 
My mask, my gloves, and my shield 
I’m not playing its lethal 
The government actions are evil 
The people’s reactions are fetal 
The things they say are deceitful

Scientists, the CDC, There is no doubt
Stop stressing about the clout
It’s ok, you were wrong, you can admit
Looks like the whole country’s goin' apeshit? Rah! (Ayy)


Put on my mask before I go
All the doctors they know  
Gotta try and keep the numbers low 
Anger grows like Krakatow 
I can't believe we did this

Nobody pray for me, 
God’s been an absentee, 
eeeeeeeeh 
(yeah, yeah!)


Aye, I remember Sunday services like Barnum circuses
Screamin, hands to god, and runnin aisles, With no purpose ‘n
Daddy was a pastor, growin up with all those burdens ‘n
Mama was a teacher, don’t be lookin under surfaces

You all spent your 20s bouncin in and out of night clubs
You gotta step it up, too young, dont understand when they call you scrub ,
Learn a thing or two from me, try acting like a grownup
Instead of posting instas acting as if it was a glow up

A.M. to the P.M., P.M. to the A.M. work
Working while you’re sleeping, seems its neverending, work.
I can ‘t take it easy, I forgot the meanin, work
Catch me in the street and we can settle up now, work

Wish my attitude would just go viral
Say again, with my right hand on a bible
Fuck your handout, my hard work earned me that title
Always trying to stifle,tellin me 	bitch be humble

(Hol' up bitch) sit down,
(Hol' up lil bitch, hol' up, lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down (sit down hol' up lil bitch)
Don’t mumble (bitch)
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up) bitch sit down
Lil bitch (hol' up lil bitch) or we’ll rumble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up) be humble
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up lil bitch) sit down

You only wish you lived that life from the Gram, man
Public or private I just be who i Am (am)
Flexin your parents shit, naw, that ain’t right
I’ll make a post fucking up your whole life.

I’m so fucking sick and tired of the idiots
All that hate and anger just creates something insidious
All the joking’s done, gotta take this shit real serious
My message clear, not trying to be mysterious

This shit way too crazy, aye
You do not amaze me, aye
Everyone so lazy, aye
Spotify playlisted, aye
On that  moneymaking, aye
Most of ya'll be faking, aye
Society is breaking, aye
Got my heart to aching, aye

I been rich 3 times, but broke 4, on that come up  aye
This that deep shit, yea like a Ted Talk, aye
If you get lucky you might claim that post hoc, aye
Room on the wagon for all y’all, bitch be humble

(Hol' up bitch) sit down,
(Hol' up lil bitch, hol' up, lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down (sit down hol' up lil bitch)
Don’t mumble (bitch)

Oh and Santa Claus (yeah), and a leprechaun, yeah
More than troublesome, yeah I'm antifa, 
but no I’m not a bum, yeah
Remember Occupy, well they call me alum, yeah
But if I try to remember it’ll make me glum, yeah, ayy
Look, Portland, Kenosha, even DC
Marching in the streets and burning debris
Cops and feds are acting out really beastly
Trying to change my status to detainee, 
Maybe worse, trying make me an amputee, 
Some days we think of surviving as winning,
Arguments of the dissenters got me spinning,
Wonder how I got this way? I swear I got the

Losing your shit because we say Black Lives Matter?
Flex a little and you think we’re going to scatter?
Death or dishonor, I’ll never choose the latter
Action, I’m done with all the chatter, you tweakin'
Watching Gen Z in the streets, they got me beamin'
They tell the same story so much, they start to believe it
They say we bring the violence, but we’re the ones whos bleeding 
Man, how the fuck?

Two, four, six, eight you didn’t even wanna integrate
Equality for all, No it’s not even up for a debate
Don’t worry, I got faith that you can acclimate
Naw, naw, piece of cake, naw, naw, you can relate, yeah, yeah
Sit down, I got a story, I can narrate yeah, yeah
Little long, it was 400 years in the making

[Will Baker]
Yeah, you're lookin' at the truth
The facts they never lie, no
He’s the one, yeah, He’s the one
Stop being just a pawn
We need Trump gone,(let's ride, let's ride)
He’s the one, yeah, He’s the one, yeah
I know you’re sick of that other imitator
You see the news, he's really just a traitor
See you watchin', don't run outta time now
He’s the one, yeah

Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh
He’s the one
Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh
He’s the only one
Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh
He’s the one
Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh
He’s the only one

[Bobby MB]
Yeah, yeah! (Bobby!) 
Can’t believe I’m in this same spot (still here)
After all the things that we been taught (teach!)
Let’s go back, remember tan suits and jump shots? (jump shot)
Two thousand eight - it felt like a jackpot (jackpot)
True, wasn’t him leading us back then (08)
But wouldnt it be nice just to feel good again?
Stop avoiding all the news, turn back on CNN (mama)
A leader not just controlled by the businessmen
Close this chapter so we can remember back when
Like Joe Torre need a call out to the bullpen (Rivera)
Biden/Harris - won’t cause a new Tianamen
Naw I don’t love it, [but, but] tryin’ to find some zen

Yeah, you're lookin' at the truth
The facts they never lie, no
He’s the one, yeah, He’s the one
Stop being just a pawn
We need Trump gone,(let's ride, let's ride)
He’s the one, yeah, He’s the one, yeah

You see the news, hes really just a traitor
See you watchin', don't run outta time now

Oh-eh-oh-oh-oh, eh-oh
He’s the only one

[Corbett the Rapper]
Okay though
Uh, just gotta deal whatever hand we’re dealt
Ain’t that smart, but from the jump, I thought this deal smelt
I could tell this guy was definitely not a Roosevelt
November comes, got me praying like the Bible belt
Look
His brain is barely stable
He says he wants to talk, but he won’t come to the table
I just say he lies, but they can’t defend the fables,
But then he called em losers, asked what they do it for, okay though
Look, look, look, don’t want a transfer,
Maybe just not an amateur, a traitor and a saboteur 
Biden’s ok with me, no I’m not carefree,
I’ll take just okay though

[Chorus]

[Lil Rob]
Lookin' for the one? Well, bitch, you're lookin' at the one
He’s the best left, Trump better, got me spun
 don’t give a fuck about no body
Look, all his work is shoddy
All his tastes are gaudy
Whole country’s gettin rowdy
Oh my God! 
They all think they are kings, they really pawns
His whole crew started right but quickly turned to cons
Make me laugh
But on the inside I be crying,
the dummys here are buying
All the shit that he be lying
Ma, forgive me
Trump - He really things that he’s a legend
They all think he’s destined
But I hope he’s feeling threatened
For the record, not by me, I’m not trying to get questioned
Maybe Congress back in session
Get the fucker on the record, on God!

[Chorus]

(Get real Baltimore on’em)

Don't you know, hon, don't you know, hon
He is the one for you (He’s the one) yeah, He is the one
Don't you know, hon, don't you know, hon
He is the one for you (He’s the one) yeah, He is the one
Don't you know, hon, don't you know, hon
He is the one for you (He’s the one) yeah, He is the one

Seems everyone’s real worried now, from London to LA,
But they all just look at us, as if they are all, trying to convey,
They give us dirty looks, its clear our leader is a crook,
Democracy has gone kaput, since the day the Donald went and took 

We’re not okay
We’re not okay
We’re not okay
You wear me out

None of this ever happened when I get lost in dreams
(I'm not okay)
But then I will awake again, and find myself, still stuck in quarantine
(I'm not okay)
Working on the vaccine, only talking to machines
Getting by without routines, my sanity splitting at the seams!

We’re not okay
We’re not okay
We’re not okay
You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks
Grab your mask from off the hook,
Trust the experts not facebook, you’re stupid friends are just afraid!

I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)

But, this isn’t up for debate,
You gotta trust the doctors!
I mean it, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)

I'm not okay
We’re not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I can’t refrain
I'm not okay

As months go by
I’ll wear my mask with you
But if you die right now
I’d probably die then too
I’d die too

You remind me of the times
When we could go out
But then the second wave will get us
Like it always does

We’ll make the same mistakes
I’ll take a test with you
I hope you need this now
Because I know I do 

[Chorus]
Until the day I die
I’ll wear my mask with you
Until the day I die
I’ll wear my mask with you


[Verse 2]
Should I bite my tongue
Until I get sick too
You wanted to go out
Tell me why you drink so much

My lungs are burning out
And I think I hate you
But still I’ll say “I told you so”
Just like I always do
Just like I always do

[Chorus]
Until the day I die
I’ll wear my mask for you
Until the day I die
I’ll wear my mask for you

Yeah I’ll wear my mask!
Yeah I’ll wear my mask for you!



[Bridge]
My lungs are burning out
And I think I hate you
You made the same mistakes
Mistakes your friends do
My bill is thousands now
And I think I hate you
You made the same mistaaaaakes

Until the day I die
I’ll wear my mask for you


[Chorus]
Until the day I die
I know I will blame you
Until the day I die 
I know I will blame you

Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Chloroquine , Hydroxychloroquine 
Oleandrin  , yea and thymosin
No regrets , Live with no regrets 
Never sweat , never break a sweat 
Mask Off , fuck it, mask off 
Mask Off , fuck it, mask off 
Chloroquine , Hydroxychloroquine 
Never sweat , never break a sweat 

[Verse 1]
Two months, post up with the gang 
Stuck inside, yea, can’t even grab a drank, ya
Out the door, it’s time we disprove
Ain't compromisin', getting ready for a duel
Grocery stores, lookin' like Beirut
No probs, I think I’m immune 
Makin calls, gathering the crew
To the bar, I'm gon' bust a move
Herman Cain, that man got the brains
Where ‘e go, got one of them strains
D. Trump , bringing the stability
All the class, got that credibility

[Chorus]
Chloroquine , Hydroxychloroquine 
Oleandrin  , thymosin, Oleandrin 
No regrets , Live with no regrets 
Never sweat , never break a sweat 
Mask Off , fuck it, mask off 
Mask Off , fuck it, mask off 
Chloroquine , Hydroxychloroquine 
Never sweat , never break a sweat 

[Verse 2]
Wearing masks, they believe anything
No fear , running the campaign 
(Oh my Lord, y'all are sheep)
Great again, all the possibility
Save us all , got the capability
Im proud, take responsibility 
Rally in Vegas, we was in attendance
Don’t need a mask, nature’s way will cleanse us
Flights home , focus on successes
Little cough, mighta made mistakes
Switch states, touch down, body aches
Ain't no way, ain't no fuckin' way
We’re okay, don’t need to stay away
Real lame, not gunna make the claim
They sick, we sick
But it is not the same

[Outro]
Mask off, *cough*, mask off
Mask on, *cough*, maybe mask off
Mask on, *cough*, definitely mask on
Breath gone, just don’t nod off
