2020 Vision, locked up

Incarcerated. Socially distant with

A man that got me anxious

Jobs uncertain no friends to calm

My patience

I just want a hug. I just want to

Hit the club

I want to see my peeps. Go out have

A bite to eat

Go to the beach. Hit the pool

Trying to fight the heat

Times have changed Corona with a

Tight defeat

Face masked up

Ready to ignite the streets

Membering the good times all the

Hood times

I need people to function but

Understood why

So I stood by watching TV

Doing my part to slow the spread

Cuz its bigger than me

Until I saw what is become to be

The worst of it all

A man dying right in front of us

Calling for moms

I got so angry I wiped the tears

From my palms. Somethings gotta

Change tear down these walls

CHORUS

Lockdown its time to break free

From the Lockdown its time to break

Free. 4x

Love is all we need protest in

Peace. This is bigger than

Politics. Bigger than the streets

Its time to break free from the

Lockdown

We gotta fight for those struggling

To breathe. All the sons

Daughters, fathers can achieve

Strength in numbers our right to

Peaceful protests against the

Violators that say they protect us

But that is a lie. Feeling

Threatened by insecurity as means

To deny. 5th grade reading level

Enforcing the law

You can’t even understand it. Yet

I’m in the wrong. Defund all the

Cops cause they are the biggest

Gang. Ride or die with no need to

Explain

Some of them are power trippin’ and

Will shoot you in vain. Planting

The cane and laugh at your pain

I pay their damn salaries this

Ain’t right. Due process is loss no

Justice in sight. So we gotta come

Together and put a fight. Cuz

There’s no times like now to get

Back our rights

Chorus

Love is all we need protest in

Peace. This is bigger than

Politics. Bigger than the streets

Its time to break free from the

Lockdown. 2x

Love is all we need protest in

Peace. This is bigger than

Politics. Bigger than the streets
