(v1)
glass smashed through the bodega door and now stuck in my shoe, so i shake that off.
crackhead sitting on a bag of their belongings all fucked up in 90 degree weather with just enough energy left to outstretch their hand for change.
masked faces grilling skewers in a makeshift outdoor trailer made of plywood and rusty nails with gaps, cracks and nail pops eight feet off the curb of a one way but no ones there.
everyone looking down or off to the side or on to oblivion unfocused and unaffected by wreckage passing plastic bagged up trash around a city tree on the sidewalk.
(v2)
stores boarded up, kids bored and fed up scared to death or scared they stopped feeling.
compartmentalizing their dreams, cares and fears into a phone screen, dumbing out to a viral dance on an app during a virus scare, since there’s a choice to be numbed up compared to outside the phone where it’s crumbling down.
and when it says “game over” and “play again,” you can, kids who went and do that in life but when they’re in a body bag there’s no game console options, life was a game to win, no points, no coins, no rings, no skins.
no points, no coins, no rings, no skins.

New sound
New sound around town
We’re having a party
You’ve gotta come down
Forget the Mashed Potato
The Dougie and the Whip
Just bounce around
You don’t have to remember shit
There’s no membership
It’s for everyone
Cause when we dance
We unite as one
There’s no membership
It’s for everyone
Cause when we dance
We unite as one
Report to the floor (3x)
‘Til you can’t do it anymore
And that’s what’s up (that’s what’s up)
And that’s what’s up (that’s what up)
Bring your Mama
Your sister and her friends
Every color and every gender
No agenda
This is the end of quarantine
So buckle up
And get it right down on the beat
Forget the Mashed Potato
The Dougie and the Whip
Just bounce around
You don’t have to remember shit
No membership
It’s for everyone
Cause when we dance
We unite as one
Report to the floor (3x)
‘Til you can’t do it anymore
And that’s what’s up
That’s what’s up

They say “shop til you drop”
Collect ‘em all and don’t stop
This credit card jumps firewalls
Let’s go to top it off.
Scanning bars, getting rewards
This retail lady says I’m looking like a rockstar.
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.
Teach a man to fish, he’ll invest in a scale.
Clothes make the man when there’s money for bail.
Filling up product in non-recyclable bags
Back in 2002 we called it “poppin’ tags”
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.
Gucci leather umbrella that’s ready for hail,
A rap sheet of seven sins that’s ready for Hell.
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.
Give a dog a bone and he’ll want more bones
So I’m shopping at the mall while I’m shopping at the mall.

It’s beautiful tonight
And I have seen the light
So I don’t wanna fight
So I don’t wanna fight
So I don’t wanna fight tonight.
It’s beautiful tonight
And I have seen the light
So I don’t wanna fight
So I don’t wanna fight
So I don’t wanna fight tonight.
