Sick World
Deitrick Haddon and Zaytoven's 'Sick World' is a gospel-tinged response to the pain and loss of recent times, touching on the deaths of public figures like Chadwick Boseman and Kobe Bryant, as well as broader societal struggles. The song expresses grief and frustration over violence and division, while turning to prayer and faith for comfort and hope. It acknowledges the brokenness of the world but affirms trust in God's care and the need for heavenly help, ultimately calling listeners to pray and hold onto faith amid hardship.
We're living in a sick world
I know you heard me
And we can't stand to lose nobody else
I'm glad we got 2020 up out the way
I'm praying the future will bring us better days
And it ain't hard to say goodbye to yesterday
'Cause we lost too many soldiers along the way
We lost Chadwick, king of Wakanda
Kobe and Gigi, ooh, we lost a mamba
And we lost family [?] lost her mama
It feel like the whole world is [?]
But I know you watching us from up there
Let your people know you still care
Send your love now to clear the air
Oh, please, Lord, clear the air
Living in a sick world but I'm praying you are well
We can't stand to lose nobody else
Can't stand to lose nobody
Living in a sick world
Asking heaven for a little help
We can't stand to lose nobody else
Can't stand to lose nobody else
We can't stand it
We can't stand it
We can't stand it
Can't stand it, can't stand
[?] killing each other in Chicago
Detroit just ain't the same no more
And it ain't getting better on the west coast
Tell me why we treating each other so cold
People would rather put faith in a vaccine
Then wearing a mask, keeping their hands clean
And this will all go down in history
That thousands have died 'cause we cannot agree, yeah
Living in a sick world but I'm praying you are well
We can't stand to lose nobody else
Can't stand to lose nobody
Living in a sick world
Asking heaven for a little help
We can't stand to lose nobody else
Can't stand to lose nobody else
We can't stand it
We can't stand it
We can't stand it
Can't stand it, can't stand
And every say amen (say amen)
Amen
We can't stand to lose
Nobody else (hallelujah say)
Amen (yeah)
Amen
We can't stand to lose
Nobody else (hallelujah say)
Living in a sick world
Can't stand to lose nobody
Living in a sick world
Can't stand to lose nobody else
We can't stand it (praying for those on the front line)
We can't stand it (whoa, my my my my my)
We can't stand it
We can't stand it
We can't stand it (people all over the world)
We can't stand it (bow your head)
We can't stand it (asking heaven for a little help)
Can't stand to lose, no
