Hoshea – H.O.A.Y: 2020 Lyrics

I know I said it last year
But 2020 was truly
One hell of a year
Its been a year of
Hardships, pain
Sickness, violence
Hate, regrets
And missed opportunities
But it was also a lesson
A lesson of unity

Damn
Where do I start
2020
Played with our hearts
I really mean that shit
While I'm here praying
On my knee caps
Know we seen the same things
So lemme recap
Started with a fire down under 
Creatures by the billion misplaced
Then commanders in Iran got quick sprayed 
Cause trumps big base 
Couldn't take a second to think straight 
And a heli crash put a dad and daughter up 
In heaven that left us all asking 
Why He took 2 4
Speechless
No crown so I mark L's weekly
The U.K said peace i gotta go
From my house I impeached myself
Needed time to teach myself
A couple things I always preach myself
For a second I was blinded by the high beams
Seeing hella narrow minds on a wide screen
Put away the bad men, we're tired of the Weinsteins
Executing brothas troubled by a petty crime please
The irony
2020's been blinding
This a fight where pulling triggers ain't gon' fix nun
Lately I been staying up until like 6 sum
Feel like a huge joke
Rap like I'm big pun
Stand only 5'8
Feel like I'm 6'1
Snitch 9 was a victim of troll roots
Tried to play the game
But got hanged by his own noose
The eggs that are laid from a gold goose
See they ain't always gold too
To understand a gods position
You gotta understand the opposition
And we're all tryna pop in this shit 
I know I'm still on my conscious shit
But I stare at these comparisons of other scripts 
And watch as the plot thickens
This years been a lot different
Some people found love
Some got livid
Hella got sick
Legends got killed
R.i.p to pop smoke
R.i.p to king von
Blessings out to Huey and Mo3 
Moving so low-key
Cause either its Covid
Or o.p's wanting more cheese
The saddest ones to me are o.d's
Man I'm reminiscing on my homies

Its been a hell of a year
We've all shed tears 
All felt pain
This marks the end
Its been a hell of a year 
We've all felt pain
Leave the past where its at and
Start again

Could you imagine nine minutes on your neck
Pleading for your mom
Right until ya last breath
Protests and riots 
Whites with some straps
Supremacists trained to shoot taking loot 
And the best they could do is
Remove Aunt Jemima
We asked for some change 
They said sorta kinda
Aw man
This covid shit is showing us the
Problems
Let's find a way to solve em
Trump wasn't abiding to the science of the man
So then Biden had to stand up
They're both old white men though
So I can't trust em
But f*ck it 
I'm just setting the precedent
Cause the way these months been going man they never end
Trying to sum it up but the summit is Everest 
Know there's shit that went down that I probably missed
All these nights man I couldn't blink 
All these fights and I couldn't think
Know the pressures feeling realer but the 
Pictures looking bigger now
Its never been about the music
This a lifelong commitment with nights going by 
Knowing I left it all on the field
Every single word here I promise its real
I'd be in jail if thoughts they could kill
Hands on both sides as I'm gripping the wheel
My grandmas both died 'round this time last year 
But I ain't on a golden beat to bring the past here
Heres a side of me that I never knew
Got regrets for the family that I never truly
Had connects with
Lately I been stressed
But elations just a step
Away from losing faith
And gaining it back 
Stronger
2020 Either broke you 
Or showed you the truth in your soul who's to know shoooo
Blessing up famiglia
Fixing damage that I done
This serious business nearing a cliff
Its either we fall or fly out the abyss
Just wait 'till and we're on and we laughing wit kids
To think we started this in a pandemic ya I get it
But 'til its all said done
Our visions been 2020 so cheers to 21

Its been a hell of a year
We've all shed tears 
All felt pain
This marks the end
Its been a hell of a year 
We've all felt pain
Leave the past where its at and
Start again

I know I said it last year
But 2020
Was also a lesson
A lesson of unity
