Quotable Lyrics
Everybody woke now (Uh huh), they want us to vote now
COVID-19 is the stamp on the dope now
Still puttin’ trees up, so they can pull the rope down
Used to be the Ziploc, I get it off the boat now
From treadin’ and learnin’ how to swim, I just float now
Pop up in the hood to show ’em it’s still hope ’round
