Corona Clap 03:04
Verse 1 Turn on the TV and the news man and all you gone hear/ All this talk about corona got the people in fear/ We on lockdown now gotta stay in the house/ Time to play with the kids and spend time with your Spouse/ Time to Watch a good movie but don't stay on the Couch/ Time to slow it all down like they do in the south/ The Governor just announced we on official Quarantine/ Shelter in place to avoid catching Covid 19/ But I'm straight yall I'm with my quarantine dream/ And we chilling every day making tiktoks and memes/ But On the train earlier somebody coughed and sneezed/ I'm heading straight to the crib to wash these germs off of me/ The cta so dirty, have you scared to move/ But I ride the redline every day so I think I'm immune/ My girl in the kitchen making homemade soap/ Cuz soon it may not be safe to even go to the store/ Verse 2 Wash ya hands, wash ya face and wash yo ass/ cuz people acting like toilet tissue ain't gone last/ I don't understand why they buying so much/ 50 rolls, 100 rolls, how much is enough/ people buying all the water they can find in jewel/ hurting all the groceries yo that's just plain rude/ spending 100s and thousands on carts full of food/ rich people making it rain inside of whole foods/ School, church, theaters everything is closed/ When it's gone open back up nobody knows/ For the next 2 months do everything online/ if you wanna see ya friends better use facetime/ If you Corona free clap clap your hands/ Hey if you Corona free do do yo dance/ But please don't trip cuz we gone survive/ Stay safe, take care, I see u on the other side/
