2001
2001, when my world had begun
Tho many worlds ended and lives got shattered
My parents hoped that this wasn't what the world would become
2002, the euro got through
Many people saw it as a big fuck you
2003, our pollution brought France the heat
Iran had a shake, Iraq got bit by the USA's snake
So in 2004 the war got Falluja
But we're busy with a tsunami
Get in on this rollercoaster ride
It's name is life and we're headed for a long long dive
So buckle your belt
You haven't felt anything like this since 2005
When YouTube arrived, we already knew
We'd be addicted for life, but in
2006, EU got the kicks of making fun of a prophet
Didn't get much love
2-007 skipped the year
2008 blew a little more fear into our economy
"What's it gonna be?", nobody knew
But hey you
Get in on this rollercoaster ride
It's name is life and we're headed for a long long dive
So hold on and sit tight
It's time to rhyme about 2009
When Sully walked on water while the first president
With a dark skin colour got inaugurated
Now the 2010's are knocking at the door
Let's change it up, 'cause we've come to the point where
Hiding from the chaos of the world
Means fighting each other all around the world
While I get it, it's getting harder to breath
But hush
The world's in a rush since 2010
When people started posting their lives on Instagram
But then in 2011 proved its positive side,
When the Arab peoples saw their governors hide
Then we prolly all died in 2012
I mean ask yourself, don't it all feel like a dream since 2013?
When North Korea got real
And when a plane disappeared, the very next year
The last six years have been race
From climate records to outer space
We've seen the year of protests pass
More trees than ever turn to ash
Black Lives Matter, and yeah yours too
Icecaps melting, but what are we gonna do?
Now, the next year is coming up
Will it be like 2020-too?
That depends on you. On us
'Cause we can do it
Let's begin with spreading some love
Tho many worlds ended and lives got shattered
My parents hoped that this wasn't what the world would become
2002, the euro got through
Many people saw it as a big fuck you
2003, our pollution brought France the heat
Iran had a shake, Iraq got bit by the USA's snake
So in 2004 the war got Falluja
But we're busy with a tsunami
