Shorty Gotta Mask On

Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
Trying to hide from the Covid
Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
You can die from the Covid
Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
Trying to hide from the Covid
Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
You can die from the Covid

Shorty gotta mask on incase she asymptomatic
Could be infected not knowing that she has it
Plug she living with her brother whose autoimmune
A single mother with a daughter whose vulnerable too
Nothing to do the governor said we must shelter in place
Internalizing all your worries make you question your faith
And now it seems your darkest fears finally came to fruition
Got ya stimulus check but you already spent it
Though ya bills paid now next months unknown
Unemployment office flooded so ya claim's on hold
Sit alone in deep reflection you seek some direction
Economy's depleted on the brink of recession
And now there's protests in the streets cuz the police tripping
Compounded by the fact the Covid still killing
So we turn to each other though we can't embrace
What I wouldn't do to see a little smile on your face
Put ya mask on

Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
Trying to hide from the Covid
Shorty gotta mask on, it's the new normal
You can die from the Covid
Really wanna see your smile but I understand
It's the world that were living in now it ain't what we planned

Shorty gotta mask on hoping this don't last long
Ponder on the people of the planet that done passed on
This shit is real life the virus don't politicize it
Cuz more than likely we all know someone affected by it
Shorty can you shoot a text, take some time give me a call
Drop a line on messenger ya know I really wanna talk
I know your independent you don't need me checking in
The way I see it, it's my duty cuz you are my friend
Grandmother in a nursing home no visits allowed
So you stand outside her window trying to boost her morale
Had a picture that your daughter drew held up to the glass
She blew a kiss in your direction so you blew one back
The new normal's unconventional you take it in stride
See your resilience is remarkable a woman with pride
Seen you riding through the city with your mask on tight
If we keep on pushing forward we will be alright
Keep your mask on

Really wanna see your smile but I understand
It's the world that were living in now it ain't what we planned
Really wanna see your smile but I understand
It's the world that were living in now it ain't what we planned
