V1
This is my routine its not a new thing
Spring outta bed get the body moving
Have a likkle brekky and a spliff after my vittles,
and then hit the town pon me old bicycle.
-Right on Janes road hit the corner and bend it.
Haven’t thought a minute bout a fricken pandemic
Gotta make it back before the rain gets started,
But fuck Murphys’ law as I hit Murphys market.
-I seen videos of people hoarding TP,
But when I get inside, it’s what I see weekly.
Outta big kombucha bottles that’s nuttin new
ain’t nobody gotta cut nobody cause they cut you
-in the line. I got in and out in good time.
People seemed calm and traffic was fine.
Every thing on facebook never came to be
Like they claimed. It all seems the same to me
i don’t know
CHORUS:
First they shut down the big festivals
Limit 250 peeps
Then all the local bars and restaurants for rest of us
Shelter in place except to eat
Then they shut down March Madness
and The NBA atleast for several weeks
But when I roll thru just like I have been
It all seems the same to me
V2
This is my routine not a new thing
Game on tonight Pelicans and Kings.
Lakeshow too, i never watch solo
Called C-bleezy told him meet me at TOMO
-Good 1st game but bout half way thru it
They announce NBAs suspended then i lose it.
I think it’s time to head for the hills.
Shit is getting too real. C Bleezy said “chill”
-nah B! It’s time jump ship.
When Billionaires ok losin they chips, time to dip.
Wait, If this is really it, let’s relax about it.
So we Hit the studio to bust rap about it.
-expressed ourselves, switched our focus
Back to our daily aims, shit it ain’t hopeless
But now I’m really not playin games
Cause shit FEELS different but it all looks the same
i dont know
CHORUS
V3
This is my routine it’s not a new thing
Except i think twice touchin my shoe strings
Can it transmit from the wild thing?
China please quarantine Yao Ming
-Chow Yen Fat, John Woo too
Clock is tickin Im admitting but aint goin cuckoo
They shut down LA, shut down the Bay
head home to the fam? I still flip a pound a day
-Put on my headphones and try to make it go away
But you know Dee Barnes got beat by Dre
I’m on a green mission in Redway
Negotiations notifications but ain’t makin’ no headway
-A lot on my mind how much does my head weigh?
(it’s) so heavy i cant stand up straight on a Segway
I drink at home now the bar came to me
Otherwise It all looks the same to me
I don’t know

INTRO:
CHORUS:
Darwinisms gonna get em, they’ll all fade away
I bet If there’s a butt virus, they’d hoard nasal spray
The public asked nicely time to try another way
They’ll pay! Agent 781s on his way!
V1
-Im air lifted to the top of the Walmart
Avoid the fat Mall Cop who looks like Paul Blart
Switch from tux to hoodie and ball shorts
Secretly spray sanitizer on the shopping carts
-It all starts when i notice 3 fellas
Shopping separately but i can tell they together
They winked at the rent a cop when they made they entry
They got 12 rolls each and all the shelves is empty-
-i caught in one in the parking lot, swiftly disarmed em
The second one too, straight squeezed his Charmin
I choked him till he told me the location they was taken em
The 3rd one hit the side door the guard sped away with him
-I got the proper intel so I didn’t sweat it
but this whole things way bigger than I expected
Great ‘Scott’ the ‘white cloud’ turned grey
Throw in the paper towel no way, I’m Agent 781!
CHORUS:
V2
Put the location into the GPS
Large warehouse not far from CVS
Costco’s close too it all makes sense
Use my high tech lighter to deactivate the fence
-Hi tech specs display the blueprint
There’s construction on the AC I sneak in thru the new vent
-Heard the vent creek and then I fell to the pavement
They pulled guns on me tied me in the basement
With The mother load of tissue even Kleenex
They said they just wiped out some asshole and i could be next
- Then haggled with a guy who said the two ply was too high
I broke the cuffs grabbed his pistol and let 2 fly
Looked the boss in the eye and asked what he doing
Come to find out they Russians against Putin
-one of The biggest assholes, same view as ours
They tryna clean up crack too. I guess Dooty calls
I was going to commandeer it all but you could have it back,
I guess we can just use MAGA hats
CHORUS

CHORUS:
Family and friends
This might be the long goodbye
Hope y’all enjoyed these songs of mine
All this time I didn’t realize death is harder
in Cali it'll cost ya’ 30,000 dollars
V1
33 thousand for subterranean housin way too high
No parking, no power, no water, no wifi
Not a dry eye above the house from my guys
Im sure my exes call it good news and look side eye,
-I lived a colorful life no tie-dye
Give the shirt of my back the I and I vibe
I stood tall in hood battles with my ride or dies
Been a rock when it was rocky in they private lives
-a bad boys too biggie coulda testified
I stood in front of a pistol pointed at em ready to die
We had our violent times. Now Im largely peaceful
Still a saint I ain’t, but I’m far from evil
-I’d sound like i had Tourettes, if i focused on all my regrets
And shit i haven’t done yet
I gotta get some shit off my chest
Incase corona casualties a promise not a threat
Just incase
CHORUS
WhaT if I go?, what if you don’t?
Will regret fill my soul? if it’s the end I’m not ready. —
It’s weighing me down, it’s tight in my chest.
This can’t be the end—. This can’t be the end—.
V2
If it’s the end- I’m not ready (nope) I got a list of to do’s- people. Places and things
I gotta lotta moves I’ve yet to make (yeaup), plays i haven’t made, Oceans I haven’t swam in, Food I haven’t ate, (mmm) chains I want to cop and clothes I haven’t bought
I don’t want to stop now
When i was just getting started,
I got blunts to blaze, dabs on deck and bottles to consume, dates to pursue. (You and you) Tryna out do the past but the past seems brighter, hindsight where you at? You shot me down like you were hired-just retire
this year’s my twenty hot seven and Im living for the moment cause until tomorrow Summer isnt coming (nah)
will I be able to catch sun or will I be inside staring from the window? (Hope not) I feel hypnotized, if it’s the end of the world I need a reset button, to restart
CHORUS
WhaT if I go?, what if you don’t?
Will regret fill my soul? if it’s the end I’m not ready. —
It’s weighing me down, it’s tight in my chest.
This can’t be the end—. This can’t be the end—.
V3
and just to think,,
I mighta had my last piece of puddy
Like puddy went the way of Sam Goody
My last loving lass my last french kiss
My last attempt at homie, lover friendship
-Even Friends with benefits is
Endin’ up Friends with goFundMe for medical expenses
Man it don't make sense it's, not how it should end it's
A twist even M. Knight Shamalan couldn’ta predicted
-or scripted. That’s what I get for being picky
Should’ve gave those chickys a chance that wanted to get with me
that really loved me And wanted build with me,
I wasn’t blind but hind sight us 2020
-I'm mad doggin myself in the mirror
Them reflections hit different when the reapers is gettin nearer
Not tryna be a Dougie Downer
Just got some lessons and confessions in case Im not around for
the end of it all
CHORUS X2:
Family and friends
This might be the long goodbye
Hope y’all enjoyed these songs of mine
All this time I didn’t realize death is harder
in Cali it'll cost ya’ 30,000 dollars

V1 DROOP
I gotta say Today was a good day
I poured some kettle one in a ice cube tray
Put em in my mug and added agua de sandia
Thats what you call a watermelon quarantina
-I keep smokin till i sound like akwafina
Shits gettin Messi from here to Argentina
I aint Lion tho, check costco smart and final
Good times and Im becoming Ned the
wino
V1 JD
I’m caught up in a haze, all the days feel the same: it feels like a slow Sunday or stressful Monday
depending on your mindset the hours move or don’t. I’m living a rerun episode like it’s a cult
a pandemic issue cant think of what’s worse. Unless you got no tissue that’s no fucking joke.
I use to keep track of the days now Idgaf cause they all feel the same //
CHORUS:
Do you know what today is?
UH-UH nada clue
dr.oop how about you? uh-uh
Do you know what today is
UH-UH nada clue
jdelilah how about you? uh-uh
v2 JD
Ima college student and I gotta deal with bs. i paid full tuition with no reimbursement.
Now Its online classes thanks to zoom, the only good news is Bong hits in my room -
dab rigs in reach but kept out of eye view tryna keep some normalcy
as the world falls apart
Daily news is propaganda keeping us in The dark. I want throw my phone but I can’t afford a new one. //
V2 DR.O
-Unless I leave the house Ill go pyscho
Its dark again already wheres the time go
All this extra time I got I could get a head
But Unless I have to piss I wont get out the bed
-if not for labbin out with nada clue, no structure
Hands to ourselves our selves still touch ya
Bunch of vibes in the booth for a monday yo
Nah Dr. Oop its Sunday...oh
CHORUS:
v3 dr.O
I didn’t see the lessons at first that not knowing what day it is (daily) could be a blessing not a curse
Make the most of every day got to self regulate
Know thy self, nows the time to self educate
-to grow my wealth, help my health
Flatten my abs, sculpt my delts
Ignore my debts, cause what could i do about em
Explore my depths, enjoy some psilocybin
v3 JD
If this wasn’t happening would you even message me.
DMs getting full, Reveal your true intentions
Temporary fixes mashing up like mixes of top 40 songs I don't put in my Playlists.
now Im getting hungry I need something to eat, the fridge is getting empty Ima have to leave.
tryna to be optimistic with edibles in my system.
All jokes aside- what day is it?

2 Weeks
03:58
|

CHORUS:
2 weeks in Im havin zero fun
When this shits over Im huggin everyone
Supposed to be gettin art and music done
Cant wait to Say fuck it and hug everyone
V1
If we hold our breaths while we hug
There’s no way to transmit it
If you dont inhale thru the lungs or swallow someones respiratory liquid you can’t get it
-So why you aint with it, FB got you paranoid
“Avoid all humans” mentality is null and void
Worse case human race will not be destroyed
I aint feelin fear at my finale just joy
-no apocalypse scene, nobody turning cannibal
Just shroomin with imaginary humans on the patio,
I mean my growth and awareness is magical
But-the most important lesson? We are social animals
V2
I been FaceTiming more than usual
I been wastin time more than i usually do,
I been seein lotsa lonely human beings
Who’s life’s no different than when they quarantinin
-I mean i bonded with my bros
But cancelled several shows
Ones that i worked years for
Upper level goals
Finally got the album done i worked several years on it
Was full speed ahead now we switchin’ gears on it
-Its urgent concerns but we determined to drop it
Despite the rate of progress or profits or Work stoppage
Just Can’t stand it, Cant just sit here
Streets is abandoned i could shoot a flick there
-everybody scared, that they not prepared
And that death is just wafting thru the air
Or that I’m bein wreck-less or selfish
By not bein over protective? Im minded my wellness
V3
-after only 2 weeks my freezer Full of brewskis and moose meat
I guess this new me still Im higher than a crew chief
Have trouble going to sleep, i think i need 2 freaks
Wouldn’t flatten the curve, i like booty and boobies
-Beggars can’t be choosey, but no disaster movies
We could pass the doobie, I’ll put on some new sheets
Atleast reach out to me I got roomies so I ain’t
Home alone but “I’d rather be with you” like Bootsy
-Home is where the heart is, on life there’s no new lease
Grateful there’s no roaches, rats and no roof leaks
Im settin the precedent cause these times are unique
How have I dealt with it? Nada gives me new beats
-The rabbit hole is too dee. On each beat I think
about giving that chicken Donald Trump ass a 2 piece
Plus I heard he dissed China in his new speech
I’m like Bruce Lee on the looseleaf
In just 2 weeks
Guitar solo
CHORUS

Sick of it all
03:40
|

V1
I want more than the people near me to hear me
Y’all clearly bamboozled by conspiracy theory
Im Weary of the man but i deal with facts
Im sicka pseudo scientists in tin foil hats
-Im sicka people sayin they made Covid 19
To kill Tom Hanks because he ran with Epstein
That’s YO wet dreams can’t fool your boy with them
start a pandemic when they can just poison em-
-I’m sick of people blaming the Jews or Rothschilds
It wasn’t made in a lab this needs to stop now
I’m sick of em saying it’s population control
if it is its mother nature not the bank in control
-Cause they mostly Caucasians, and they the ones dying the most, why are people beating up Asians
Very disconcerting hospitals are hurting
Im sick of em sayin that its a plan to stop Bernie
-or prolong Trump! All this death for that?!
I’m sick of people saying it don’t affect blacks
I’m sick of people saying it’s caused by 5G
I ain’t Ben E. King dont stand by me
Im sick of y’all
CHORUS:
I'm sick of it all
I'm sick of it all
I'm sick of it all
Corona virus free but
I'm sick of it all
I'm sick of it all
I can't listen to y'all
cause I'm sick of it all
V2
Im sick of Facebook even if they post facts
Every single post corona this corona that
With no corroboration, the news source is critical
Sick of dummies scared to by Coronas from the liquor sto’
-simpletons! another symptom of the system
I’m sick of em sayin it was predicted by the Simpsons,
On the show it was Osaka flu I seen proof
Same shit they sayin about Dean Kootz
-I’m sick of people saying that it’s easy to beat
With oregano oil, Lysol or gargle bleach
Give it to ya sick dad bet you’ll be a bastard
These type of theories are a public health hazard
-Fake news could kill ya just like the disease
Hysteria could bury ya mind what you read
Don’t tell me about bat soup or vaccines
Back off jack off give me my 6 feet please
CHORUS:
V3
-I’m sick of people thinking that just cause they read it on the net that is all correct (niet)
I’m sick of people saying that it’s just a flu
like it’s nothing new And don’t trust the truth-
-Im sick of people not clicking on the articles they post
Im sick of web parasites and money hungry hosts
I’m sick of Zuckerberg denying his role
helping Cambridge Analytica control the globe
-I’m sick at the lack of many government probes
I’m sick of the germ warfare rumors and germaphobes
and speculation, about shit no one knows for certain,
I’m sick of ties from behind the iron curtain
-I’m sick of regurgitation of misinformation
from bored stoners, researching from they moms basement
I’m sick of isolation. I’m having with drawls
Corona virus free but I’m sick of it all

V1 (droop)
hip hop was born in my life time
We had a black president in my life time
we Legalized marijuana in my life time
What a time to be alive
This is my time
-On the timeline of history this where I landed
can’t be mad at it cause I finally understand it
Shit can be dramatic but you got to withstand it
better days are comin, its the way Jah planned it
-The Soviet union disbanded (and) dissolved,
Then they tore down the Berlin wall
They finally told the truth about deaths from cigarettes
I was here for the birth of the internet
-now there’s a disconnect we goin virtual
Unlike the riots i was there it was personal
Rival hoods came together, it was high time
I never thought I’d ever see a gang truce in my lifetime
CHORUS
We've been through this
We've been through that
Been to hell, and made it back
They lock us down, can't hold us back
Sounds like hip hop, we can get thru that
V2 (TRAAC)
Hip hop is my life line
I saw a black president in my lifetime
Ive seen the feds sell zips and tax for that shit
Then lock kids behind bars for the same crime
See I've...
Been around from breivecase to brickphones
My top 8s on MySpace had
text message ringtones
Then I've lived from Nasir to Nas X
They've gentrified projects
And fucked up the progress
But why they always counting out the 80s babies
Survived it all when all this shit is making niggas crazy
I've been here thru swine flu, Ebola to zika, to Sars, HIV, now corona
Surviving thru the rise and the fall
Who would have thought I'd be alive to see it all.
Feels like reprocussions
Or maybe it's a wake up call
And we just needed this discussion
CHORUS:
BREAK:
I wanna live, just wanna
just wanna live
V (droop)
 my grandma was born in 1-9-2-6
40 years before the civil rights movement
She died in 2012 and I missed her every sense
but she lived long enough to see a black president
V (TRAAC)
So now we stand still while world still turns
How many we times we gotta stand and watch the whole burn
It's my time now, yo it ain't your turn
I'm outta work, child supports buying food not perms
V (droop)
I was alive when the exon Valdez spilled its oil-
there for an attack on American soil
I live in Trumps America but still remain joyous
So Aint no way Covid19s gon’ destroy us
V (TRAAC)
So throw it up if you're just happy you alive
And shouts to eveybody who's just trying to survive
Some have family some have friends we have vibes
Tomorrows looking promising cuz music is saving my lives
BREAK:
I wanna live, just wanna
what a time to be alive
We got so much heart, and we had it from the start
we made it to these changing times
I wanna live, want y'all to live
we can make it if we try
and in our final days, we'll be around to say
we made it to these changing times

INTRO:
Come out come out wherever you are
We could have dinner and drinks at the bar
Dine in not just take out
If the night goes well then we can even make out
Come out come out wherever you are
Get closer you don’t have to stand so far
no more. That’s a thing of the past
Come out come out time to shake that ass
V1
Ima kiss everybody hug everybody
Dance with every shorty at every single party
I’m a be up in it because It been a minute
Landlord might ask if I’m even still a tenant
-Where the single ladies The first one to get it?
Clothes rippin off no time to unzip it
Hit it from the back smack it up flip it
And kiss it and be livid when i have to dismiss it
-Whether i see ribs or cellulite
I’m eating out and drinking out every night
All Invites is an automatic “yeah”
No need to ask “who’s all over there?”
-First, and it ain’t about thirst
 but buy a few drinks for your friend who’s a nurse
or a clerk, etc all y’all legends
firemen still gettin laid from 9-11
Never forget
CHORUS:
It's time for some big big fun
There was times I thought this day would never come
Im so glad yesterday is done
I missed my loved ones, I missed my loved ones
Thank the lord we're movin' on
V2
I used to wake up and asked wheres this going
Social distancing now social “disco-ing”
Not into house but I’m in the house
not in my house , So I stop being a grouch
-no party on the couch, finally steppin out
I don’t even care That this hotties gonna Ralph
Can’t be a asshole, can’t wait to travel
Georgia, Canada, Nelson, Kaslo
-This time Ima shoot my shot at Carly Agro
(while) laughin at you gun nuts that hoarded all the ammo
Used to have to astral project to a rap show
Now I go let the little homey‘s in the back do’
-don’t judge me! Have you learned nothing?
If you made it this far be grateful, you’re lucky
When i see those that love me and try to hug me, it’s gonna be closer to RUGBY
(bring it in!)
CHORUS
V3
Pull up to the spot all the homey’s know
Just rolled me a blunt of some ‘Dosi Do’
Smoke all you want we can grow some mo
We should form a big line and pass it coast to coast,
-If I was on a government committee
I’d throw a block party in every big city
Especially where I come from Pyra-Mid city
 all sets all crews and all they kids with me
-bbq, carne asada and marijuana
the best DJs the town has to offer
See the old lady next-door? we could’ve lost her
now she on the dance floor dancing with a walker
-everybody talks to each other like we used to
Don’t know who’s who lemme introduce you
Oop Doc from the Black Love Crew
and that’s Nada Clue on the ones in twos
Let’s groove

CHORUS:
I’m see people
walkin they dogs riding they’re bikes
rethinking life not missin they’re job
goin for jogs goin’ on hikes
drinkin’ day and night in a Humboldt fog
Startin’ a blog, cookin’ a lot
alone with they’re thoughts, down by the bog
sit on a log, poppin’ the top
acceptin’ what they got, a Humboldt fog
V1
Take me to Me and MzPaizlee sittin on a beach
Starin at the sunset, baskin in the heat
reminiscin on times at the Audio Pharm
drinkin Kava all night singin Switch and DeBarge
-“Ooh I like it”, “Time will reveal”
“I call ya name girl” and hope it become real
Haven’t seen a island way out in the pacific
since the early 1990’s now I really miss it and
me in Sayulita, with Nacho and his ejo
swimmin’ in the ocean with a lot of brown people
brown weed don’t bother me, all else is worth it
waters too perfect, thinkin of learnin’ surfin
-weathers perfect too not a cloud in sight
it’s 80 at night dancin’ under moonlight
with “Annie Annie Anne my baby”
Calgon take me away somebody save me
CHORUS:
V2
Me and Ms. Tanya down at Wreck beach
with a couple of her home girls all of them or freaks
Naked girl comes by and sell us fruity drinks
And mushroom chocolates various magic treats
Somebody bought the beats, we blazing in the sun
bathing In the sun, till I’m a raisin in the sun
just like me and the fam on a cruise to the Bahamas
Drinking and dancing daily cruisin over open water
all you can eat buffet all our loved ones beside us
Layin poolside now cause I done got the itis
No shyness in my flyness Im on the top tier
Freaky foxy ladies in very little gear
Turks and Caicos next The waters crystal clear
Somebody help me disappear to here
CHORUS:
V3
-Im known to go to war with racists
Lotta my exes come from foreign places
like Jess, We aint jet settin in a lex
But sex is the best and she makes tex mex for break fast
-She takes sausage then the eggs next
She got her legs bent, I smell sex scent
She gotta accent, she got my bed wet
She ask for choking now she’s a redneck
-I only did that cause she reque-sting
Smell that? Cunt scent is sexy
specially w/ the rose water flavor and its truly yours
No Kavanaughs only droopydrawls
-ima get mine so Ima make sure that you get yours,
then movin’ forward hope wanna do it more
true rapport, that what Im shootin’ for
Im comin for ya, if i could just get thru this storm
