Uncle Answers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's one love man
Aye, yeah
This feel like world war 2 but I don′t know what that would look like
So if I'm gone soon this my goodbye
To the good times, or maybe good lies
But the same enemies made us allies
This feel like world war 2 but I don't know what that would look like
So if I′m gone soon this my goodbye
To the good times, or maybe good lies
But the same enemies made us allies
Yo, can I ask a couple questions, please? Word
Why the people with all the money freakin out?
Why the stadiums got testin′, no more bleachers now?
How the teachers not paid enough, gonna teach em now?
Oh wait I'm freakin′ out
Maybe I should grab a drink go eat a [?]
See im feelin' fine
C′mon granmda told you all the news is lies
Blame it on the orange guy, right
The problem with the visible
Any premise to disprove or conclude is still visual
I keep it simple bro
Anything that's seen is many things unknown
You can′t explain the tree, you can't explain the snow
If you ain't know the seed, then you ain′t know the cult
What I know′s I don't, and if I don′t you don't
And if you sick I′m sick, fuck your selfish shit
Yeah they're poor and rich, but same depth is six
They gonna bury us the same
Only real question is if I′m by
Myself or in a mass grave, im' just sayin'
I think lot of things have changed
That′s what happens when it′s different but it look the same
This feel like world war 2 but I don't know what that would look like
So if I′m gone soon this my goodbye
To the good times, or maybe good lies
But the same enemies made us allies
Yo, can you wake the fuck up
This ain't a conspiracy man this ain′t about Trump
Who framed who, and made this a cover up
They planned it, the 201, the pope was raping the nun
So they thought they'd make a virus and let it out in Wuhan
Or maybe this is a plot to get oil out of Iran
And plant people with the chip, Jerusulem Palestine
Then maybe Jesus will come
Or maybe my freedom′s gone, nah
My bad, I ain't tryna be rude
It's just hard to stay true when they get paid for the views
PPC CCPM′s how they evaluate news
That′s what the sinners will do
That's what that senator do [?]
Well fuck it I soundin′ petty
I should be gettin' ready
The pushups this shit ain′t heavy
I'm patient my aim is steady
It′s moment they turn to deadly
Don't lose your life over petty
We tried divided already
Define life in terms of pennies
We done
We done
I hope you know we stronger as one
I hope this ain't the end of the run
Welcome the war with no guns
This feel like world war 2 but I don′t know what that would look like
So if I′m gone soon this my goodbye
To the good times, or maybe good lies
But the same enemies made us allies
