Intro

Yeah… From the jump, the world flipped From Wuhan whispers to sirens in the streets

Verse 1

First heard the word, “COVID,” hearts froze in panic Empty shelves, masked faces, we couldn’t understand it Kids stuck at home, learning through the screen Playground silence, childhood lost in a meme Mom’s Zoom calls, dad’s Shift work grind No commute, no traffic, but a strained mind No grocery aisles, but Amazon stride Tap‑to‑pay life, real‑time survival ride NBA shut down, Olympics got delayed Churches closed doors, funerals never prayed Influence turned digital, TikTok wave Trapped in the crib, but we still found ways

Chorus

From Asia to Africa, Europe, Americas too, We masked tears, masked fears, made do in our shoes Ocean to ocean, we rose in the struggle, One world, one fight, turned pain into hustle

Verse 2

Remote work blew up, suits over sweats Nine-to-five shrunk into DMs and threads Grandparents scared, locked in alone Kids missed touch, heart turned to stone Mental health hit, the silence screamed Scrollin’ for peace, but broke the dream Apps became bridges—DoorDash life No more dining, just bagged-up nights Influencers thrived, yet the world looked fake Smiles in reels, hiding every heartache Politics cracked, truth was a war Media battles at the grocery store

Verse 3

Every continent felt that sting From Rio’s favelas to Beijing’s ring Africa danced, resilient hearts But lost too many, pulled apart Europe lit candles in balcony songs While Sydney shut down for months long Borders closed, planes stood still Nature healed, skies calm and chill People changed, the vibe ain't the same Legacy shifted, redefined fame Crewless stars showed real from act Some crumbled, some found their tact We ain’t goin’ back, new world’s built From ashes of pain and layers of guilt

Bridge

Funerals by screens, hearts unspoken Grandma’s final breath, unsaid words broken Fear spread faster than any viral code But nature reclaimed the skies, life reloaded We saw the good: neighbors, doctors, kindness’s bloom The bad: misinformation’s darkening loom From masks to mandates, unity and divide We grew up fast on a global rough ride

Chorus

From Asia to Africa, Europe, Americas too, We masked tears, masked fears, made do in our shoes Ocean to ocean, we rose in the struggle, One world, one fight, turned pain into hustle

Outro

Now we stand, changed forever in time Stories etched in scars, hope in every rhyme
