Lyrics

[Intro]
(Get in touch)

[Verse 1]
Uh, Canada heat
Gettin’ hotter than a Panama Beach
In a Canada Goose, speakin’ of Canada beast
Who’s speakin’ Canada’s truth?
Who’s standin’ 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 need a lil’ fix
We need presence, we just get receipts for the gifts
Playin’ 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]
(Hey)
We out of touch now, uh (Hey)
In the 6 like touchdown (Hey)
I was trippin’, 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 (Just touched ground now)

[Verse 2]
How do we reattach the roots?
I don’t mean no metaphor
I’m talkin’ ’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 passionfruits
We got crashin’ moods, diseases, and other attributes
Lack of direction from havin’ no grasp of the past and future
Attitude is numb, plus we love to escape
We love entertainment, especially if it’s public disgrace
No lovin’ 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, uh (Hey)
Too outta touch now (Hey)
In the 6 like touchdown (Hey)
I was trippin’, I just touched down
(I was trippin’, I just touched down)
(We outta touch now)
My, how we’ve come a long way (Too outta 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)

[Bridge]
Before it’s too late, hey, yeah
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, yeah (Touchdown)

[Outro]
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)
