Don't have any regrets,
Just wonder what could have been,
In a different timeline,
Where things were squeaky clean

Where I didn't care about my appearance,
My style nor my flair,
I didn't look over my shoulders, where my skin didn't scare

Don't have any remorse,
The time for that is over,
Looking into the future,
Where people are much closer

Where I didn't have to fit a social status
Where I could be loved and love freely,
Don't have to be an unrealistic portrait,
Cus being me is enough for her.

Don't have any reasons,
Rhythm or rhyme,
The lockdown's getting to me,
You feel it too right?

Stuck in a loop
Stuck in a loop
We're all stuck on repeat
Is this the way our life was?
Stuck in a loop
Stuck in a loop
We're all stuck on repeat
We're all stuck-

Heed my words, there's a lesson to be learnt from this. For me, I must persist, even at my lowest I must strive to exist.
For you, you must prevail, for this is a challenge and you must come out on top.
For us, we must grow.

We're all stuck on repeat.
Let's create a new beat.
Word.
