INTRO
2022
Is it over already?
One more time, check it out
VERSE 1
There goes 2022, who would've knew?
Guess I kinda knew, got nothing to prove
My only regret is I didn't get to witness you just suck on a nuke
Hey, but you never know, there's a little bit more time
Things just might go boom!
Let's take it back to the 2nd month of the year on day 22
2:22 PM, Joe comes out looking like a skeleton
but what can you do?
Gives a speech about Ukraine or perogies or something
shit fucking blew
I'm talking about Putin, you're talking about poutine, bitch
We know you like food
Now I'm on my gravy train
Hopped off the track and I'm changing lanes
And you know that I'm smoking that Mary Jane
Climbing in consciousness, we are now all the same
And you cannot lead a fucking idiot to water
2022 and you just heard of Jeffery Dahmer?
Underwater like I'm looking for the fucking Nordstream
But unfortunately, inflation has sent the cost of snorkelling equipment through the roof
And it's exorbitantly expensive
So now I'm fed-up with the world and I'm fed-up with my dentist
And the money that I spend
on making songs to document it, uh
I've been a music teacher at the same studio
for the past 12 years, no shit
These lines are fire, that's it, I quit
I should be teaching English Lit
CHORUS
There goes 2022
It's like a postcard from me to fuckin' you
And now from now on, no matter what you do
You'll always think of me and 2022
2022 (Ukraine, Russia, nukes, psychotic)
2022 (All the lies were so hypnotic)
2022 (Inflation rising, oh my God, it's)
2022 (Twenty-twenty-twenty-twenty-two)
VERSE 2
Sometimes I think this planet is just rotten to its' core
The profiteers of death will line their pockets with the war
I've now been here four times, may I please now have my award?
You do well as a wife, but you'd do better as a homebody
Cardboard cutout of the Queen on the cover of Time magazine
How I'd pay to watch you grieve, on your knees
Where you fuckin' been?
Put that in your bio with a link, bitch, oh please
And you still know nothing with your seventeen degrees
Still, you kinda like it when I talk down to ya
'Cause every guy you ever met has sucked up to ya
Picked the pen up, I'll be laying it down, oh, that's for sure
She's talking to me like she's done some creeping, keeping score
And she comes up to me with dreams of freaking on the floor
Male NPC's cannot wrap their heads around it, that's for sure
She does well as a wife but she's much better as a
2022, bitch, yeah, this shit is fuckin' too lit
Amber's kinda clueless
But she Heard through Johnny that Will slapped Chris
Gettin' jiggy wit it
Elon freed the bird, or so he claims
But Roe v Wade and Shinzo Abe are no more
And you're welcome, by the way, for the free entertainment
Cause it's frankly been an awesome show
CHORUS
There goes 2022, it's like a postcard from me to fuckin' you
And now, from now on, no matter what you do
You'll always think of me and 2022
2022 (It's the year I quit my job)
2022 (Take a puff, there goes Her Highness)
2022 (Fed keeps printing, oh my God, it's)
2022 (Twenty-twenty-twenty-twenty-two)

VERSE 1
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so
I told you so, I told you so
I told you the cold wind's blowing
The cycles repeat and there's nothing new here under the sun
Now the cracks are showing
It feels like we've been here forever but the show's just begun
What if there is no enemy?
Could it be that there's a repressed memory, a past-life indeed
And when there is no subtlety there's a need
To reconnect and cast your light
PRE-CHORUS 1
We're sick of war and we're wanting peace now
Don't wanna write nuthin' just wanna freestyle
When you hear this, you're probably gunna freak out
And when we count it all up, you have the least clout, peace out
Free cake? I want my piece now
Don't wanna work for what I got, I want a handout
I want to blend in, don't want to stand out
I wanna cash in on the bull run and I plan to keep it fanned out
CHORUS
Oh no! I can think my own thoughts
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
Oh no! I've been thinking a lot
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
VERSE 2
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so
I told you so, I told you so
I watched all the numbers flowing
Up over my head and away from a man with a gun
There's an inner-knowing
We might have lost the battle but the war has only just begun
What if there is an energy?
Could it be that we are all one being beyond what we can see?
What if there is no enemy?
Could it be to reconnect and cast your light?
PRE-CHORUS 2
We've seen the West end, we're moving East now
Don't wanna cook nuthin', just wanna feast out
When you hear this, you'll probably take your teats out
When the circus comes through, you'll sign the lease, clown, peace out
These banks, cut 'em to their knees now
XRP and XLM to get the fees down
NSF fee, wow, how does that help?
So many words to chop it up, you would think I have my black belt
CHORUS
Oh no, I can think my own thoughts
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
Oh no, I've been thinking a lot
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
Oh no, I can think my own thoughts
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
Oh no, I've been thinking a lot
This feels dangerous, I've been told
But what do they know anyway?
OUTRO
We barely know anything about anything
About the sun and the stars
And about Mars and alternate dimensions
And little beluga whales at Sea World
I've got something to tell you
I have a new bad habit lately, I have to get this off my chest
I've been thinking
(That's bad, that's bad, that's bad, that's bad)
I've been thinking
(That's bad, that's bad, that's bad, that's bad)
I've been thinking

CHORUS
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today
VERSE 1
I've lived a good life
I've never had to deal with bombs falling all night
With no power in the morning
It was cut off, you never know when it's time
And yet against all the odds, I think we're doing alright
That's why I ride with my people, only half white
You should know I would die for my people, test me
And although this is in my blood, it still stands
I don't claim to know what it's like
But I didn't see you at the protest, are you doing alright?
Alaa's leaning out the window, got the flag going
This time remembered my koffiah, you know that's showing
As for dabke, Aseel showed me how
And now it's on through the night
See, you'll never crush our spirit, we'll be doing alright, yeah
The diaspora, you can't ignore us
Grandparents, parents passed the torch
And now we're almost at the shore, yeah
With something for ya, we don't need force
And I'll be stating my opinion when it's coming up of course, yeah
Something on the way
Something on the way
Something on the way
Something on the way
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today
Final verse, I'll get obnoxious
Words can do some damage like a rocket when it launches
2 billion dollars a year, we're throwing rocks
Why must you flaunt it?
And if we took the Iron Dome away, would you still talk shit?
Nothing but love for all people but, uh
The government of every country is criminal
When it's war, apartheid, famine while they roll in a friggin' BMW
We the people are so sick of you, I can only see one thing to do
How do you expect to heal the hate with a half-rate education
Sponsored by a government that's dipping into your pension?
Waging war and occupation to get their pockets enriched
Meanwhile an AK-47's getting added to the wish-list
Yeah, fucker, kiss this, no lipstick
You scoffed at fate until you went up against it
A half-French, half-Palestinian mystic
Got the oppressed and the oppressor in me, if you blinked then you missed it
Something on the way
Something on the way
Something on the way
Something on the way
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today
They were forced in the morning to pack and be on their way
But they never came back to the homes where they stayed
So the olive trees wept in the wind as they swayed
Ana Filastiniun, for that, saying "shukran" today

INTRO
Alright, turn the beat up a bit
We're going to get sentimental on this one
CHORUS
Yeah, said I want you in my life
From the second I saw that smile on your face
You were perfect in my eyes
So I say "thank you" to the Universe
For this gift and this cursed surprise
But it seems like a shame when we play these games
With no end to the rain in sight, and it's like
Yeah, said I want you in my life
We can just be friends, we can play pretend
We can keep the convo light
We don't have to talk about politics or aliens
Even though that's what I like
We can go for lunch, I'm just a normal guy
And I'm not really that impolite
VERSE 1
It's been a long time
Since I came around the corner
Saw you smiling and it caught me by surprise
Wished you were all mine
I saw the sign and so I followed it
Found myself in everything around
We made the sun shine, the birds fly
And see, somehow you made your way into like every single rhyme
Don't be so shy, it's called a muse (Haha)
And that's why you find it entertaining when I share my views, it's like
Summer came, took you away
I worked on myself
I'd say I'd see you again in the Fall
I sure did, but I still tripped up, so lame, ah
Just another song, and it's dedicated to you
But I don't really care if you listen or if you do not
I'll still rock, I'll still talk
I'm still thankful to the Universe for these thoughts
CHORUS
Yeah, said I want you in my life
From the second I saw that smile on your face
You were perfect in my eyes
So I say "thank you" to the Universe
For this gift and this cursed surprise
But it seems like a shame when we play these games
With no end to the rain in sight
And it's like
Yeah, said I want you in my life
We can just be friends, we can play pretend
We can keep the convo light
We don't have to talk about politics or aliens
Even though that's what I like
We can go for lunch, I'm just a normal guy
And I'm not really that impolite
VERSE 2
Yeah, and when it's all said and done
We're standing in the same place where we'd begun
You do the math, I divide you from your ex, add the sum
Three take away two, think you know I'm the one
I want the whole pie so don't try
And girl, if you don't mind, I'll take a stroll by
Went almost my whole life without someone smiling so wide
So damn, why you acting so shy?
I'd ask Dave, but…
Then life took you away
I tripped over words, what to say?
I told myself I'd see you again
It hasn't happened yet expect that time in the car
I passed you, honked my horn, and I disappeared from view
But I don't really care if you saw me or if you did not
I won't stop, I'll still rock
I'm still thankful to the Universe for your smile
BRIDGE
There's always space for a flame
For a way to get the words out
For me, for you, for all, for love, for love
CHORUS
Yeah, said I want you in my life
From the second I saw that smile on your face
You were perfect in my eyes
So I say "thank you" to the Universe
For this gift and this cursed surprise
But it seems like a shame when we play these games
With no end to the rain in sight, and it's like
Yeah, said I want you in my life
We can just be friends, we can play pretend
We can keep the convo light
We don't have to talk about politics or aliens
Even though that's what I like
We can go for lunch, I'm just a normal guy
And I'm not really that impolite
OUTRO
Well I guess that was only kind of cheesy
I told you it was gunna be sentimental
Mindseed, 2022
Told you
See you around

INTRO
It's nothing
It's nothing
Check it out
VERSE 1
Verdict's out so they let us out
And we took a little dip in the fountain
I'm sick of shouting from the highest mountain
Only place I can't ever rest
And I pull-up, never cared about the Lambo
Popped those tires, those rubbers got a hole now
Knocked cold, growing influence
And it don't make sense that you're hating on the low now
Or maybe I'll just show up with a Nerf gun
"Doo, doo" you can be the first one
Run away 'cause you're no fun
Calling me a "dumb dumb, chum" and it wouldn't be the first time
I see a snake and it's acting like it don't know
Acting like it don't know
That I know that you creep me on Instagram every single day bro
Every single day
Yet you never hit the "like" button
CHORUS
Isn't that something
That you're talking that shit but you smile when you're there in my face?
And isn't that something
That you'd rather get to know me through a phone than directly to my face?
And isn't that something
Oh, you must have something missing in your life to be that guy
No thanks, I'd rather die getting no skanks
Getting no bank, no francs
Yeah, isn't that something?
You ain't shit
Isn't that something?
It's nothing
Isn't that something?
It's nothing
Isn't that something?
Yeah, yeah, isn't that something?
Isn't that something
That you're talking that shit but you smile when you're there in my face?
And isn't that something
That you'd rather get to know me through a phone
Isn't that something?
VERSE 2
Hater always gonna be a hater
I'm an innovator with the pen and paper
Yeah, I'll smell you later like a fart you jarred
Mailed to self, at least you went through Purolator
And I purely relate to all the geeks in the photo
Lord of the Rings, I grew my hair out like Frodo
Never related to all the fakes, all the damn snakes
Flipping pancakes, so I stack them up to eat them
They were three high and we dined, no, don't try
You came forth but you didn't realize
That you stepped on the beehive
That won't fly, you got stung about 3 or 4 times
And you waltz in in no-time
You're so fine, that girl's kind but she don't rewind
I'm a VHS, stick me into your life
Had a Turkish Delight, witch is crossing my line and
Ah, I just don't like the way you rhyme
The way you do your thing online
The way that you live your life
I'm not a hater though
Bitch, why the hell are you lying?
CHORUS
And isn't that something
That you're talking that shit but you smile when you're there in my face?
And isn't that something
That you'd rather get to know me through a phone than directly to my face?
And isn't that something
Oh, you must have something missing in your life to be that guy
No thanks, I'd rather die getting no skanks
Getting no bank, no francs
Yeah, isn't that something?
You ain't shit
Isn't that something?
It's nothing
Isn't that something?
It's nothing
Isn't that something?
Yeah, yeah, isn't that something?
Isn't that something
That you're talking that shit but you smile when you're there in my face?
And isn't that something
That you'd rather get to know me through a phone
Isn't that something?
VERSE 3
You're no fun and there's no way
You check my page and get no pay
Ms. Pac Man, you've got no game
You get no ass, we get it all day
We're on Broadway, play of your life
Sitting around all day playing Fortnite
And you're hating and you're waiting
For me to fall off, please be patient
And I pull-up, never cared about the Lambo
Crawled before I ran, now I'm making my stand, oh
Same flow but different angle, do the tango
Bite a classic, no, it's nothing newfangled
You can hear the jimmy when it jangles, when it dangles
Get fucked at seven different angles
Hate to treat you like a fangirl
But you've got to compete with my other pretty fangirls
Yeah, yeah, I know you're obsessed
Scroll, scroll, give it a rest
That felt good, I got things off my chest
I'll say it one more time, you're not getting my best
CHORUS
And isn't that something
That you're talking that shit but you smile when you're there in my face?
And isn't that something
That you'd rather get to know me through a phone than directly to my face?
And isn't that something
Oh, you must have something missing in your life to be that guy
No thanks, I'd rather die getting no skanks
Getting no bank, no francs
Yeah, isn't that something?
