this track came as a direct result of the Bay Area "shelter in place" lockdown that went into effect on March 17, 2020. after 5 days in quarantine this song came to me and 3 days later it was written, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered. it was a labor of love that I hope finds people during this time of need.

lyrics
In the bay, we shelter in place
No time to pull up n get face
If you posin in public you're a disgrace
Don’t matter ya job, age, size, or race - yeah
I’ll admit, I have my doubts
About where it came from, not bat to mouth
Some foodie bullshit that went all bad
Seems like a virus that came from a lab
There’s no sure way to tell
All we know now is to protect ourselves
Being so distant can feel like hell
A small price to pay for not getting hella ill
lockdown - stay inside
lockdown - ride or die
lockdown - shit’s for real
lockdown - covid19 can kill
Bernie 2020
Medicare for all, man they fuckin with our money
While we all pent up inside
They don’t give a flying fuck how we're gonna survive
Yeah I miss going outside
Sippin hella little cups, chicken sandwich hella fried
Go to sick ass shows, open up the fuckin pit
Soakin up the fuckin sun yeah I savor every bit, ooh
Yeah, I savor every bit, cause I woke up one day and it was gone off the rip
I want to savor every bit, but these young dumb ass bitches stay out swappin spit
Stay inside, wash ya hands, and if you don’t live with him say goodbye to your man
We gotta follow the plan, or we’ll kill each other like the boomers did the land
