WDNext - "What Is It?" (Clean) - Official Lyric Video

We are currently seeking support for fundraising efforts https://www.gofundme.com/f/break-comm-barriers-and-widen-discourse-via-art

(This should ideally be done with really good production. A good rendition of this might be better than anything Kanye West has ever done.)

Intro
Nigga, they breaking (breaking, breaking)

So nigga...

Verse 1
Their cognitive states are broken and in decline
They say "What is it?" to everyday things like no one will even mind
Well I think it is about time
[Sound effects]
That they come crashing down,

(Imagining a special beat here)

Ooh, ooh, idiocy unveiled
Bitch nigga talk quite too, too demented 'n failed
They say "I don't know" got no sense of authority or Stature
Cognitive faculties are gone
They are retards - they are retards

They are wasting time, they are wasting time [repeated]

They are wasting time and are not Immune.

Chrous
They are not IMMUNE from the democratic process.
They are not IMMACULATE and nobody will con us
They are not PRISTINE, in their Ivory Tower
They will not GLEAM, not at this hour

They are not IMMUNE from the democratic process.
They are not IMMACULATE and nobody will con us
They are not PRISTINE, in their Ivory Tower
They will not GLEAM, not at this hour


Verse 2
Nigga ... They ain't clean dirty as shit
Nigga, the money is in the e-meter, American money that is
But they don't know what anything is, what anything is
They just give up on everything, AMERICA - WHAT IS IT?!?! (SHOUTING QUICKLY)

What is it? [repeated]

People always listen, cognitive abilities in a rut
Basic education, basic decency, basic curiosity, no, what the fuck
Really everybody knows basics, that's a given, don't even need to tell 'em (tell 'em)
"Dare to Know" immersion, proper media, real educated (Real Educated.)

Abreactive, Wundt, Freud, real scholars
Real discourse goin' round - real ballers
Real Talkers - real Toddlers

Real Gleamers, real Gleamers

Chrous
[Repeat Chorus]

Outro
Nigga, perhaps we really should nuke ourselves.

2025.05.13 TSR ~ Sensitive Swarm: Your Pause is Your Power

This month we sat down with players from Freeport High School’s Varsity Soccer teams who shared their beliefs about vulnerability: how to cultivate it, how it helps build connection, and how brave it is for teens to be emotionally vulnerable in today’s world. We bet their perspectives will leave you as reflective and inspired as they did us!

Embers: Soccer Teams on the Power of Vulnerability

We leaned into the focus on play in all regards this month. In this episode, our teens talk about their relationship with play, when life started to steer them away from it, and how to incorporate it back into their regular routine.

Embers: In Praise of Play

A 2-minute showcase of commercial, character, and narration voiceover work by teen voice actor Lexi Gerding recorded in a professional home studio.
