When Outside Opens

My coworker's missing his sister, that COVID hit her And I done zoomed eleven funerals COVID winter The main hospital done turned into COVID center And we ain't seen outside since COVID entered I'm missing my whole fam, they don't zoom like that The last time I saw them told them be right back I dropped mama off a gift on the porch, big facts Waved at her from the car, and that's a wrap Masks on don't mean we gonna rob no more Masks on mean we going to the grocery store With a line down the block yo disinfect that cart And I just came out to grab water yo I was never one to fight over petty little beefs But I swear I'm bout to swing if you come in six feet. That ain't sweet, I'm going out my mind Strange how social distance can change mankind (When will I see you again?) I'm hoping that outside opens. Yo I swear I'm hoping outside opens (When will I see you again?) I'm hoping outside opens (When will I see you again?) Yo I swear I'm hoping outside opens (When will I see you again?) Remember going out to eat? Man that was sweet Remember holding hands in the sand on the beach Remember just jumping on a plane for release Remember sitting box at the game with your peeps I remember riding trains before this whole thing changed Before the wuhaun took on some complex strains Before the government started giving these complex names Before one hundred thousand people died from complex pains Call me shallow I miss shopping malls and new sneakers Overpriced Jordan's and never worn yeezis Guess I should be thinking about something sort of deeper But I can't stop thinking that last trip to Puerto Rico Wish I had shown up to happy hour with amigos Not of standing them up most time incognito Quarantining sucks your life it's an extroverts mosquito Dreaming of the places I just want to say can we go (When will I see you again?) When outside opens. I'm hoping outside opens (When will I see you again?) When outside opens (When will I see you again?) I swear I'm hoping outside opens (When will I see you again?) I don't really like my job, but I'm trying to go back to work Sunday 10 AM trying to go back to church We trying to grab these four wheelers go play in the dirt NC double A trying to run with the terps I never knew seeing my brother would turn into a perk Or theological talking demon killing with Curt I'm trying to barbecue again grab the grill get to work Plan the family reunion back yard in the burbs I'm trying to feel the cool breeze top the Empire State I'm trying to walk Venice beach through the sand in LA I'm trying to ride out to Las Vegas for the day And see the whole strip top the Mandalay Bay I wanna see Caribbean blue By sliding on through A carnival cruise And listen to a steel drum groove Man that would be cool But to tell you the truth When this whole thing is over I probably still won't move When outside opens
