Shad - Out Of Touch

To Rate
Verse 1:
Uh
Canada heat
Getting hotter than a Panama Beach
In a Canada Goose, speaking of Canada beast
Who's speaking Canada's truth?
Who's standing for peace?
Live from the home of the slaves and the land that was thiefed
Lot of broken and lost souls on this planet of freaks
Supply and demand's the only commandment we preach
Each man is a brand, each night's famine or feast
So we quote "I sell therefore I am" in these streets
The people is sick and nothing that a needle'd fix
We need prеsence, we just gеt receipts for the gifts
Playing god
We just got a cease and desist
When our own souls wish that we would cease to exist
We out of touch now

Chorus:
We out of touch now, uh
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
Touch now

My how we've come a long way (touch now)
But it seems we're headed in the wrong way (touchdown)
Hope we finally turn it around one day (touchdown)
Before it's too late

Verse 2:
Just touched ground now
How do we re-attach the roots?
I don't mean no metaphor
I'm talking 'bout these packaged foods
Mass-produced
Who's the most impacted group?
Guess we the black and blue

Really it's the question that's connected to the facts and truth
Land and plants and passion fruits
We got crashing moods, diseases, and other attributes
Lack of direction from having no grasp of the past and future
Attitude is numb, plus we love to escape
We love entertainment, especially if its public disgrace
No loving embraces and nothing is sacred
These public debates, discussions of late
No trust in the space
The drugs in the safe, the plug's in the wall
And all that to say
The main cause of all of the suffering and hate?

Chorus:
We out of touch now
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
(I was tripping I just touched down)
We out of touch now

My how we've come a long way (touch now)
But it seems we're headed in the wrong way (touchdown)
Hope we finally turn it around one day (touchdown)
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
And that's the way that it goes
Oh lord, I don't know if I can take anymore
Got my hands in the air and my knees to the floor (oh, baby)
Wanna reach out and touch something deep in my soul (yeah, touchdown)
And that's the way that it goes
Oh lord, I don't know if I can take anymore
Got my hands in the air and my knees to the floor (oh, Lord)
Wanna reach out and touch something deep in my soul (touchdown)

My how we've come a long way
But it seems we're headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before it's too late (touchdown, it's touchdown)
