Who Do You Wanna Be?

Who Do You Wanna Be?

(album: Social Lubrication - 2023)

When I collect my third batch
of inexpensive sunglasses from the same place at the mall
I think of you

When I'm crawling out of bed
Last night's sweat on my forehead texting long paragraphs
An easy fix will do?
A green smoothie or two?
That's what everyone tells you

When the corner shop that sells club mate hasn't open their blinds
Can't they see the tears filling up my eyes?
Behind the sunglasses disguise
That's when I think of you, and what would you do
If you were in this situation?

What would you do
If you were in this situation?
What would you do
If you were in this situation?
What would you do
If you were in this situation?
What would you do?

If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
If not you, then who?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
I'll say it again
Who do you wanna be?
Who, who, do you want to be? Who, who?

When I see another empty slogan tryna dictate my life
Can't you see my pockets are running dry?
A consumer consumed with the idea of a good time

Exhausted by the pressure to feel somewhat empowered it's only 8AM
And I haven't even showered
Guess perseverance is the boldest thing one can do

When the movement becomes part of the patriarchal system we swore to tear down
The left cuts down the left while the right upholds the crown
So what do we do?
So what do we do?
We're all in this situation
So what do we do?

If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
If not you, then who?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
(Who do you wanna be?)
If not you, then who?
I'll say it again
Who do you wanna be? Who, who, do you want to be?
Who, who, do you want to be? Who, who?
Do you want to be? Who, who?
Do you wanna be?
