The Monster That I Once Killed

Crazy Times in California is VC's first single. 

The lyrics tell the tale of two wide-eyed teenage lovers. 

Written in the spirit of reckless youth, this song has been a way for us to let go and go wild from the isolation of our own bedrooms, especially during the COViD19 quarantine. We encourage you to dance, sing, do whatever you need to do to lift your spirits. The song is here to help. Crazy Times in California, available out now.

Crazy Times In California

This song captures the spirit of America in 2020 for anyone who isn’t part of the 1%. What happens when you can’t call the cops on the police? This is a cry for justice. Can You Hear This?

Lyrics: You can’t call the cops on the po-po
When they got you locked in a choke-hold
Proud boys are taking over America
Sock a Southpaw
Or homie they gon’ bury us
Fuck all the demons
Y’all better fall back
Left you a message
You never called back
Peaceful protests 
Turn violent in moments
Racism 
My generation is sick of it

They know we want it like a deadbeat foster child wants a father
Life with no drama
We want Nirvana
Y’all fond of Trump
And that’s part of the problem 

Tell me Can You Hear This
Tell me Can You Hear This
Oh tell me Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
Oh tell me Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This

These crooked vultures we willingly call a parliament 
Are acting devilish thinking that they are heaven sent 
We don’t have a president 
We have a crime minister 
Even in reality TV he felt sinister 
Are these really all the options 
Pass the grenadine 
Mix it with a vodka soda till we have a Kennedy 
Whoa 
Shit 
I don’t trust anyone 
How can you run a country if everyone is on the run? 
Listen to the people 
From preschool 
Ttto retirement 
Don’t make me say it 
(Blue just say it) 
Fuck the government 

They know we want it like a deadbeat foster child wants a father
Life with no drama
We want Nirvana
Y’all fond of Trump
And that’s part of the problem 

Tell me Can You Hear This
Tell me Can You Hear This
Oh tell me Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
 
They know we want it like a deadbeat foster child wants a father
Life with no drama
We want Nirvana
Y’all fond of Trump
And that’s part of the problem 

Tell me Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This
Can You Hear This

Mother-father moms 
Playing all parental roles
Daddy’s locked up 
With no chance of parole
Drugs flowin in
Given dividends
Got no fucking friends
Tryna find a way to make the ends meet

Debit or EBT
Diploma or GED
MTV or BET
NBA or take a knee

I said I’m simmering 
Knowing Zimmerman killed a man 
With an Arizona tea chillin in his hand
Ion understand why we still can’t beat
Why we still can’t breathe 
We just march in the street

Sayin if we don’t get justice 
Then you won’t get no peace 
I ain’t ever gonna apologize for this side of me
Po-po keep on ridin me 
If you keep on tryin me
Shout my soliloquy
Fuck 4x3
