Parallel Universe

Lyrics

[Intro] A universe shift Where the universe shift And our world split All right, check it out Yo, yeah, yeh, yeh, yeh [Verse 1] When the 2020 hit, and the pandemic kicked in I went through six jobs packing, two apprenticeships in My middle age is beckoning, I head there in an instance Raising three kids in a home with a pregnant missus And I was tryna brainstorm how I could raise more When state laws had our doors shut with stage four I'm job seeking, and I'm thinking of a game plan When I can't even see family or even shake hands Now, Doctor's calling and they're tripping on a brain scan… The high potentiality of tumours and disease In my unborn's brain left me suitably uneased And the future's looking bleak, as a season disappears With media just spamming what's appealing to our fears Beefing with our family and screaming at our peers 'Cause the world had split apart, and the reason isn't clear [Chorus] My universe born, that's parallel with you in it gone A foreign plane which I exist is my usual norm Eye of the storm with the lightning and the rain hailing down Stranded with my head in the clouds My universe born, that's parallel with you in it gone A foreign plane which I exist is my usual norm Eye of the storm with the lightning and the rain hailing down Stranded with my head in the clouds (Yo) [Verse 2] Nothing's black or white, the world's coloured grey And my country stays in droughts, flooded or up in flames I turn my phone off from the comments of what others say And my soul died when George cried out his mother's name Yeah, tryna keep back the stress When my Dad called me up, said he relapsed again Lost a licence and a job, took a turn for the worse But my thought's were submerged with concerns for a birth And mentally I'm drained, with a pregnancy at bay When I shoulda been excited 'bout it's gender or the name And I'm back to heavy drinking just to get me through the day 'Cause the pressures from a child and a parent feel the same, yo With each turn of the Earth brings more turbulence A universe of irreversible permanence I'm just praying that my baby is okay And it makes it here safely to the world I'm in [Chorus] My universe born, that's parallel with you in it gone A foreign plane which I exist is my usual norm Eye of the storm with the lightning and the rain hailing down [Verse 3] Yo, yeah, yeah, yo As time ticks, we just sit round and dwell Inside our house like we're prisoners in cells All the things that I felt, well, they instantly melt When my first daughter was born and she's in perfect health Yo, I can't explain my shock That she made to the world I'm in against those odds So I went to start a business like she lifted up my fortune But my Dad passed away on the day I tried to launch it And I talked to him the day before, had me buggin' He told me he would bounce back, I told him that I loved him I couldn't comprehend it at the time, or be aware That the words that I just said would be the last we'd ever share And it's feeling like a dream, surreal and bittersweet That my daughter and my father in this world'll never meet And as deeply as it's wounded me, I'm feeling like it's cauterised Seeing Dad immortalised, staring in my daughter's eyes Before the rise and the fall of our souls from birth We are spirits made of dust that revolve with earth One lives and one dies in this multiverse And it coulda been the roles reversed [Scratches: DJ 2Buck] "I know you hurt as the world turn" "In this world decay" "My factor's bright, I just bless the mic" "Mine's in another world" "Nah'mean?" "Checking our life is like the sphinx: mysterious [?] flash like lightning"
