“Catch a vibe” is iEKNOWS' reflection on race, class, and politics in day to day life. Feelings of both determination and resignation clash as he tells his story– all while driving Uber in hopes of making enough money to get by.
Catch a vibe
[Hook: iEKNOWS]
I'm tryna catch a vibe
To keep the hope alive
It’s up to you and I
We gotta build a tribe

Verse]
I’m fighting for peace
All my brothers are fighting to breathe
They walk around and they carry a piece
What would you do for that freedom of speech
(Tell me, Tell me)
Fuck the police
They shot that brother right dead in the street
And ain’t no telling what time of the week
So ain’t no turning the other cheek
(Nigga listen)
I’m tired of dealing with doubt
I got a couple things that I’m still figuring out
Like how to pay this rent cause now they kicking me out
Had move in with my sister now I sleep on the couch
I maneuver when I’m driving the Uber
Put the tips on the side
That’s just how I like to ride
She gon swallow a lot but first swallow her pride
So before you try to get in my ride
Shit
[Hook]
I'm tryna catch a vibe
To keep the hope alive
It’s up to you and I
We gotta build a tribe
I'm tryna catch a vibe
(la a la la la la)
To keep the hope alive
It’s up to you and I
(la a la la la la)
We gotta build a tribe
[Bridge]
Were out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
So many things going through my little mind
Believe in the love
Yeah
Believe in the love
Believe in the love
Yeah
Believe in the love
We never do listen
We never do listen
Yea until it’s too late
We never do listen
We never do listen
Woo until it’s too
Until it’s too late
