Outside Lyrics by Jeff Porter

The Appetizer, Pt. 1

2020

[Verse 1:]
Feeling like Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life
We’re in some troubled times, that’s why I need to write
Social distancing, feeling like it’s imprisonment
It’s a shelter in place, got you going insane
It’s getting out of hand, it's gettin' hostile
Be responsible, no need to stockpile
We’ve got to stick together, support your local business
State of our nation is changin’, as I’m writin' this sentence
Don’t believe everything you hear from the media
We’ve got a president seriously misleading us
He says the opposite of all our most trusted physicians
No matter what they tell us, he goes and contradicts it
I pray for children, the ones who don’t have a stable home
I hope we get some answers as this war wages on
Coronavirus, you’re taking so many of our people
I look you up in the dictionary, I see EVIL

[Hook (X2):]
Missing the times we could go outside
We could kick it with homies
And we could socialize
How many more of our people really have to die?
Missing the times we could go outside


[Verse 2:]
Another day and I’m sick of watching the fuckin news
How many times are we gonna sit here and sing the blues?
I’m getting antsy inside the house and I need a beverage
There’s only so many fuckin' shows I can watch on Netflix
As a citizen, there’s only so much you can do
We’re living in a movie minus the cast and the crew
Out of luck if you don’t even have direct deposit
The government stimulus ain’t even coming 'till August
This is really madness, the stock market’s crashing
I really hope the Lord above can start working some magic
Are we gonna get by? People getting laid off
They getting furloughed
All the way from LA, to the bay, to the boroughs
All this pain and this sorrow, you remain really hollow
Gotta pray for tomorrow
Every single day I really just hope for some change
On behalf of the world, yo, let’s try to turn the page


[Hook (X2):]
Missing the times we could go outside
We could kick it with homies
And we could socialize
How many more of our people really have to die?
Missing the times we could go outside
