So Long by ECHOisthename Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Echo]
So I see a new system
A new world where we don't need prisons
Where the way people living is different
Where you realize that breathing's not a given
Where it's not important to try and fit in
Where it's ok to stand alone and fidget
Where people get more than smidges and tidbits
Food, warmth and shelter's no privilege
And it took a whole village
To bring this image into fruition
We fucking live it
And love it, no judges, it's a consensus
All the votes count, cause it fucking makes sense kid
We lived reckless but, finally fixed it
We had to stop these dickheads from going ballistic
We needed existence to be more relentless
The way we was living was senseless
[Hook: Convinced]
I don't know why
We lived like that for So Longggg
So Longggg
So Longggg
I don't know, I don't know why (2x)
[Verse 2: Echo]
So yea, there's no crime
And we live off this new form of time
We're using our minds to make new designs
Collectively planning all of humankind
We find solutions, to fix problems
We're not waiting for the next guy to solve them
Self-sufficient, schools are all different
When you teach real shit, the kids are ALL gifted
The levels are lifted, the bar's raised
No more boss, you won't need a fucking raise
The only praise you need is from within
And you know you're just energy wrapped in skin
And you know you're not a him, or a her
We're all energy, vibrating blurs
And no one thinks of rocking minks or furs
Killing other animals, that's a slur
[Hook: Convinced]
I don't know why
We lived like that for So Longggg
So Longggg
So Longggg
I don't know, I don't know why (2x)
[Verse 3: Echo]
Community Farms, local farmers
And young mothers raise babies with their fathers
Teach the kids how to make their own garments
They won't get robbed by these store departments
Name brands leave your brains bombarded
Walking billboards man this shit is retarded
This new system, it might seem awkward
You can't walk backwards if you wanna go forwards
We move onwards and upwards, homie
We build communities so nobody's lonely
We got rid of these phony politicians
Neighborhood Councils, now that's a better system
Everybody chips in and feels important
The truth is exposed, it's not fucking distorted
Nobody's foreign, we're all the same
Each person communicates, with their own, brain!
[Hook: Convinced]
I don't know why
We lived like that for So Longggg
So Longggg
So Longggg
I don't know, I don't know why (2x)
