[Intro]

Look

[Verse]

In 2017, for two minutes and thirty seconds

We were on Pangea

One land, one nation, one planet

And I and my ancestors were same aged

Two minutes, uh, thirty seconds

We saw how small we are

We saw how privileged we are to see how small we are

We saw Black was beautiful

And if you just let Black be Black and it blocks out the light

The light rebuilds the brilliance it didn't know it had

You know, we should trust Black more

And mixed metaphors can speak volumes

You know, thе planet knew we needеd it

We were two days away from Nazis marching on American soil

Spitting the most vile irony on the American myths

The greatest generation rhetoric

We were three days away from cars driving into peace

White lives matter, blood and soil appropriated

Polynesian mosquito repellents turned white hoods

Tiki torches turnt burnt crosses

Frat boy uniforms in all khaki which were kind of funny, though

Two days ago, we were one planet, two minutes, thirty seconds

Our perspective was orbital, and wouldn't you know it?

When you look back down at the ground from space

The word America ain't written on the ground

It don't look like the maps, huh

Streaked across the globe, streamed revolution, televised

Bend, Oregon highways turns into one-ways to support the traffic

Kim Jung was singing Bob Marley

Vlad French kissed Trump

Ta-Nehisi and Cornell squashed their beef

Stormy Daniels and the prophet Daniel drank Thunderbird

Weinstein thought twice about unzipping

Elvis and swing dancing finally admitted to being appropriators and gentrifiers

And Meek, he was set free early, two minutes, thirty seconds

I straightened my side eye at them stupid red hats

Hippies, white girls in hula hoops who cared about traffic on the 405

Heavenly bodies just showed off their curves

And beautiful stretch marked space can be so sexy

We let our appetite for destruction satiate for a second

Traded our guns for roses

But you too cool for the glasses

Was you too stupid to not look directly at it?

Did our president actually look directly at it?

After every expert said don't look directly at it

Did you laugh?

Ayy, you ever made out with somebody you know you shouldn't have?

Ayy, you ever touched something you know you wasn't 'posed to?

Ayy, you ever seen an eclipse?

You ever been to Stonehenge?

You ever felt connected to Mayans and Druids at the same time?

Dogans, Egyptians, Etruscans, Ethiopians

Ayy, you ever experience something that was so far above you it was gon' happen whether you was there or not?

Yet, it felt like the entirety of the cosmos conspired just to show you something about yourself?

Two minutes, thirty seconds

Too bad none of us will be alive for the next one
