Lyrics
Been on lockdown
Far too long now
Hard to stay calm while
My heroes getting chopped down
Summers getting hot now
City’s getting brought down
Almeda fire
Burnt the whole block down
How many years we got now?
Till the west coast is gone now
Smoke season
Reminder of what we lost now.
That’s not morning fog now
Breath getting bogged down
Future for my daughters?
Gotta be strong now
To make some kind of impact
And leave this planet intact
I try and live right
Use my art to give back
Waves crash and slip back
Raise a glass and sip that
I toast the place I rest at
Where the pace is to kick back
And if you’re thinking shit’s bad
You need to just flip that
Sun sinks into the sea
Negativity goes with that
It's darker now but the
Stars are out to help you lift that
Stress up off your chest
Tell me again where you live at?
Pacific Northwest
Born and raised
I been around the world
In my earlier days
No matter where I go
Or how far I roam
There’s only 1 place
I call my home
Home is where the heart is
But the hardest part is
My town was burnt down
And the fire wasn’t started
By mistake. A target
Of a massive arson
Sick people in this world
Peace to the departed
I’m feeling torn apart with
Anger at the hardships
My child trying to sleep
Explosions shatter the darkness
Morning car trip
Through ash like a carpet
Neighborhoods gone
But gas lines still sparking
And we still here living
Probably never be different
Tried to move
Hard to agree on that decision
Had to leave that vision
Cause these types of conditions
Are across the planet
Panic seeds transition
Wonder if I be tripping
Things seem to be flipping
Cause the place I was raised in
Seems so distant
Pacific breeze kissing
My dreams to fruition
Let’s try and make the most
Of the place that we live in.
Pacific Northwest
Born and raised
I been around the world
In my earlier days
No matter where I go
Or how far I roam
There’s only 1 place
I call my home
