One Of These Days

Intro
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from, there's a war going on outside

Verse 1: Nieve
Damn we went from an oasis
To 20 million cases
Running out of time like the masks for our faces
Looking down on this land that has raised us
Thinking damn homie whats your homeostasis
God save us, bless the Queen
Mother Earth giving birth let that baby breathe
But all I see is dead leaves in the bonnet
Smog blacker than the seas that we tarnished
Now won’t you look at what you started
Now won’t you look at what we started
Hard to feel at home when the house fuckin haunted
I came to pay my respect
And play my cassette tape on the patio deck
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest
A slight fever and shortness of breath
Young rich or poor there’s no ignoring the threat
This ill shit that I spit the only warning you get

Verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend
A loss of life is a piece of history Disintegrated
Complex the Interplay between the policies that’s implicated
The profit driven model don’t work
U think different? That’s like saying that pain don’t hurt
Sacrifices from the people on the front line
Some choose to stay blind / all it takes is one time
For u to get hit / by an unknown microscopic monster
That’ll creep on u then hit u like a rocket launcher
The I 95 locks N 95s on
Lives is on on the line / like the vietcong in Saigon
Social distance half of us somewhat resistant
Fear in the air got the stress levels lifting
One thing for sure / the world changed forever So
What u make’s irrelevant f’ we can’t make it together
Post-covid 19 might seem like a dream and
It’s gonna take a while to heal it from our psyche

Hook: Noah King
So many nights, so many days now feel even longer
Sending the flowers, flowers to the departed
Some of these nights, one of these days, we'll be ok
Bless my life..

Verse 3: Noah King
Aiight then
Please!
Brothers and sisters...
Yo, at our rate of consumption no wonder we find ourselves in trouble
The prophecy is here to balance and keep us humble
If the government is lying I wanna know who's accountable
Fear in the world nowadays is palpable
Psychological warfare in the algorithms
Click bait on my cell phone while I'm house sitting
I don't know what to believe
I'm scared out my mind and the rabbit hole of things is deep
It seems like it's a conspiracy
I'm staying inside
Taking my time
Waiting to find what's really going on
Listen it isn't simply a matter of getting through it
More to the point is how we'll act different after we do it
If we don't change our behavior
Something greater will come along years later
And washing your hands won't save us
So can we take a look at ourselves?
I swear can we really look at ourselves?!!
It's our behavior that's been killing us
Still we never give it up
Modern man exists at the expense of all the rest of us
Compassion for the animals you God damn savages
If we don't get in line Mother Nature will handle it
She don't give a damn about your ego or your narrative
When she does respond it depends upon how you carry it
Now the pandemic gives a chance to inherit the earth
That's if man doesn't bury us first

Hook: Noah King
So many nights, so many days now feel even longer
Sending the flowers, flowers to the departed
Some of these nights, one of these days, we'll be ok
Bless my life..

Verse 4: Steph Pockets
I keep my head up high, I dream I touch the sky
I’ve seen the world more than once but I ain’t ready to die
Thinking back but moving on at least we gotta try
Ain’t no reason to give up, let’s get our piece of pie
This is for you and I, until the day we die
The blood, the sweat and all the many nights we had to cry
All the pillows that we wet up trying to run and hide
But this time we can’t, it came and took us by surprise
Rich and poor, we the same, let go of foolish pride
Push it aside, it ain’t about yourself
Ain’t it scary seeing the US have to ask for help
What about them other countries that ain’t got the wealth
I puff and pass sitting in rotation by myself
If I didn’t I’d cut and bleed and let it turn to welts
I know I ain’t the only one dealing with mental health
Call a friend cause they might not know how to ask for help

Verse 5: Chima Anya
Day 12 is it Monday or Sunday
I don’t know man it feels like one day
Still grateful. Though like my song say
Cause I'm Still alive and all my dons safe
Others not so lucky and I'm so sorry
2 deaths the same family in one morning
All the sleepless nights when I was at work
Colleagues didn't agree with me really at first
I said isolate, they kinda laughed first
Then they start to learn about the flat curve
The stories from Italy were frightening
Then Spain now the lock down is tightening
I have no doubt China probably hiding tings
But trump going on dumb the way he hyping things
We need to work together
The virus shows us that
Cause if we don't coordinate it ll blow us back
Back to 20s another great depression capitalist needing government intervention
Please remember this once we beat the crisis
Schools closed themselves
Nurses sacrifices
In the uk they didn’t even test us
Got me thinking really, do they detest us
Doesn’t matter we gonna make it though
People together worldwide we gonna save the globe

Outro
Alright, we'll be alright, we'll be alright
Just keep your head up
