OHMNI W2020COVID19 Lyrics

[Intro]
People be sleeping on me so much I feel like a mattress
They be giving too much credit to these girls that be actress

[Verse 1]
My avatar floating like a shooting star
Caught on a dash cam of a cop car
Be careful of the games that’ll take you too far
What you manifest you should keep it on a par
Equal to the people that shining like rah
I bring it every time
Keep it 100 like braa
Saved up, loaded, pure powa
Fire, earth, aqua, air bender

You on a mountain
And this is the lightning

[Verse 2]
Direct that energy don’t be trollin
When I hit my stride I'm gonna go in
Yea, I got the hammer, Thor and Odin
Loki tryna get the mode I'm in
I'm a crouching tiger
And the dragons hiding
It's a full moon and the wolves are howlin
I'll never be a quitter, yeah, throw my towel in
The greatest glory's not to falling
It's how we get back up and keep on moving
[Verse 3]
Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what the time gon bring?
Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what this future brings?

[Chorus]
Back home, back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home, back home (yeah, we got the sauce)
Back on track (I’m on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)

Back home, back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home, back home (yeah, we got the sauce)
Back on track (I’m on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)

[Verse 4]
Queens and kings
The brown girl sings
Boys in the back by the tarpaulin
Who's hirin? What they firing?
The city’s full a sharks swimming with the dolphin
It's time for the magic like I'm Merlin
I've been choppin it and kicking it like a Shaolin
Darlin, the fun is always callin
And my callin is always to stop you fallin
If you do pick you up and keep it moving
It's only glass on the ceiling
It's not cement, don’t get stuck in feelings
The greatest glory's not never fallin
It's how we get back up and keep on moving
[Chorus]
Back home, back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home, back home (yeah, we got the sauce)
Back on track (I’m on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)

Back home, back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home, back home (yeah, we got the sauce)
Back on track (I’m on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
