Drowning
TeZATalks Lyrics

It's alright, yea that's what they say
People often tell us everything is okay, even when it might not be.

Tell me what I need, therapy
Sometimes we need someone else to help us sort through our thoughts and emotions.

Pay the system, please
We're expected to comply with societal norms and expectations, even if it doesn't benefit us.

Everybody smiles and agrees
We're conditioned to just go along with the status quo, even if it's not in our best interest.

Riots in the fucking streets
There's chaos and unrest in the world, with people demanding change and a better future.

No ones safe that looks like me
Marginalized groups face unique challenges and threats to their safety and wellbeing.

Why they blowing up the sea
We're destroying our environment and natural resources without regard for the consequences.

Hurt so many dying
People are being harmed and losing their lives due to various injustices and crises.

People just scroll up about it

Like, or comment, leave a view

Going live don't mean they see you

It's in my gut, the vibe is really off

They pushing drugs like Kellogg's cereal
