[Intro}

Mmm-mmm-hmm

Yeah

[Chorus]

I think we're all in agreement when I say that right now things suck

And they won't ease up

Don't talk 'bout normal to me though

'Cause all I've seen is anything but

[Verse]

We've heard "This is the new normal" but I know better

We've had different definitions of normal forever

Sworn into it in elementary, allegiance pledging

Born into it- yeah, it goes deeper based on complexion

To all my colorblind melanin-deficient bretheren

Might wanna gеt an eye exam or at lеast some perspective

It's nice in theory but the practice is biased perception

You don't see race, you don't see the problems that it's presenting

It took the world screeching to a halt to halt infection

A fo'-five poppin' off you gotta call the President

In a year of election

And a Black snuff film of eight minutes, forty-six seconds to get y'alls attention

Thought normalcy would come 'round like seasonal drink selection

Summer's watermelon, fall's pumpkin spice, winter's peppermint

Don't say "The New Normal"- for some of us, it's never been

Your old frames of reference have been rendered irrelevant

[Chorus]

I think we're all in agreement when I say that right now things suck

And they won't ease up

Don't talk 'bout normal to me though

'Cause all I've seen is anything but (Anything but)

I think we're all in agreement when I say that right now things suck

And they won't ease up

Back to normal I can't see though

'Cause all I've known is anything but
