We Need You

(albüm: Terraform: The People - 2021)

We need you, yeah, yeah
We need you, yeah, yeah
Hey, sometimes, much to my chagrin though, I ain't gon' lie, haha
We need you, yeah, yeah
We need you, yeah, yeah (I cappeth not)
M-M-M-Mal-Ski!

Yeah, man, the year was so long (Yeah) isolated socially (Yeah)
Every last one of us struggled to keep our hopes up (Uh)
Hard to feel special when there ain't nobody checking on you (No)
Say your last goodbyes to loved ones on FaceTime
Tearing down tyrannies (Yup)
QAnon conspiracies
Life through the looking glass
Wonder what the mirror sees
Death to democracy
Next thing we know, bruh, these white boys storm the Capitol, huh
We all saw it coming though
Capping, all you fronting bros
Sitting in the middle of a global pandemic (Yup)
Man, this is just a symptom of something we all missing (Uh-huh)
Sitting in our silos, looking through a prism (Yeah)
We ain't gotta be enemies but I got non-negotiables (Yup)
All ideas ain't equal, bro (Nope)
Life, am I right? It's a trip (It's a trip)
I don't know if we can come back from this (Uh)
Ayy, maybe you were stuck at home (Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe)
And maybe you felt all alone (Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe lost a loved one (Yeah, loved one)
Or believed something really dumb
Trying not to be depressed (No, bro)
News got you real stressed (Yeah)
Thought it was best if you just leave
But we need you, G

So let me be the first to say
Can't nobody take your place
You really are a special thing and we need you, yeah
So don't listen to the hate
And watch the blessing come right away
We all have a role to play
And we need you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, was your anxiety peakin'? (Yep)
Was you easily triggered? (Yes)
Were you frustrated trying to make your family get the picture? (Yup)
Did you struggle waking up in the morning? Man, don't lie (Uh-huh)
Were you looking in the mirror like, "Why do I even try?" (Yes)
Did it feel like real life was just a simulation? (Yeah)
A joke, tryna see what we would do in situations (Yeah)
Did your phone say your screen time was up to infinity?
Did you lose friends and gain enemies?

So let me be the first to say
Can't nobody take your place
You really are a special thing and we need you, we need you
So don't listen to the hate
Watch the blessing come right away
We all have a role to play
And we need you, yeah (Yeah, haha)
So let me be the first to say
Can't nobody take your place
You really are a special thing and we need you, yeah
So don't listen to the hate
And watch the blessing come right away (It's one time to the family right here)
We all have a role to play (Mal-Ski, this is fun, bro)
(M-M-M-Mal-Ski!)
And we need you, yeah, yeah, yeah (Shout out V. Rose, haha)
