"Stay at home "
At least that’s what the news tells us
Gen Z was cool
My momma tho,
she’s going bananas
Can’t leave this
Cooped ass apartmentÂ
Because I and she can't afford to be sick and she and I justÂ
Got health insurance
So I just say
It's not real
Even tho
I’m kinda bored
And nobody is responding right now
They're probably busy
Maybe they're with their familiesÂ
Making sure each other is safe
My trip got canceled
Me, In my dorm room
Rushing
3oo miles to these Brooklyn projects
And what exactly we cool about
I don't knowÂ
Don't know nothing no more
don't know what school isÂ
Or what work will be
Or how many days that the conversations of hallway homies
At  3 and 4 and 5Â
Be my lullaby
Circling me back to my childhoodÂ
But can’t escape dreams of being school-bound
bringing me into the future
Plans to study abroadÂ
Makes me realize how big this apartment really isÂ
And how small I want to shrink in it
So I just tell herÂ
It's not real
And that I want to go outside becauseÂ
I need some air
