about

Short Version: This song is about the things of the world that negatively impact my mental and emotional wellness.

Long Version: The older and more aware of my black identity I become, the more challenging it is to manage the external stressors of the world around me. As someone who was raised an only child, I almost always seclude myself from the world when dealing with mental/emotional issues. And guess what? It works!

As society SLOWLY continues to normalize conversations regarding mental health, I think it's important that we self assess so that when we're going through the shit, we know what we need and how to access it. Therapy is important - I'm a huge proponent of it. But at this stage in my life where I can't afford a therapist, I feel confident in my ability to find my quiet place and process what's happening.

lyrics

The lack of love (hmm), the lack of trust (hmm)
I'm American I'm never at a lack of lust (umm umm umm)
The lust for love (hmm), the lust for lust (hmm)
Self indulgence is at a surplus (umm umm umm)

The never ending war (hmm), the conflict (hmm)
My niggas in the prison industrial complex
The politics (hmm), of politics (hmm)
A lot of talk, no accomplishments (umm umm umm)

Global warming (hmm), the ice melts (hmm)
So many tears from mother nature, she's crying help, (umm umm umm)
The world is cold (hmm), the sky it fell (hmm)
We up in heaven, getting high as hell (umm umm umm)

Self medicating, the pain we can't take it
Obama called for change, my niggas still waiting
My hands up (hmm), I'm giving up (hmm)
Behind on rent, but you don't give a fuck (umm umm umm)

I wish that I could live by my solo
No concerns, in the snowglobe
White falling on my nose like Coco, (I'm in love with the coco)
It's just the snow, from the snowglobe

(Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it) the snowglobe
No Troubles, in the snowglobe
(Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it)
No concerns, in the snowglobe

Yo the prejudice (hmm), the ageism (hmm)
Homophobia is the new racism (umm umm umm)
The terrorist (hmm), at home and abroad (hmm)
Mankind, huh, not so evolved (umm umm umm)

The mental health (hmm), the mental stress (hmm)
Just had a teen tell me, he's hella depressed
The economy (hmm), the mediocrity (hmm)
WE'RE ALL FUCKED!!!, that's my philosophy (umm umm umm)

The waters tainted the streets are laden with cops who use
Guns, for paintbrushes dey na pop poom poom
Water paintings, black and red, the shots boom boom
Landscaping, god forsaking it's not you Soon

Self medicating, the pain we can't take it
Obama called for change, my niggas still waiting
My hands up (hmm), I'm giving up (hmm)
I'm innocent, but you don't give a fuck (umm umm umm)

I wish that I could live by my solo
No concerns, in the snowglobe
White falling on my nose like Coco
It's just the snow, from the snowglobe

(Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it) the snowglobe
No Troubles, in the snowglobe
(Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it) the snowglobe (Shake it)
No concerns, in the snowglobe
