about

Island Wide Blackout:
After Typhoon Yutu, the entire island of Saipan (Tinian as well) lost it's power and gradually our power company, CUC, with the help of others (GPA, Military and more), restored the power back slowly, but safely. However, some people refused to keep it positive and refused to remain patient. I wrote this song about the situation we were put in and how we chose to deal with it.

lyrics

Lyrics:
We didn't ask for any of this but it happened
So now were learning on how to deal with the damage
But the one thing I can't stand is the people with no plans
Making the situation worse with their petty arguments
And I admit I radiated that for a little while
But I fell back to alienate my hate for a little while
Tokin' on some fresh air outside during my break
And then I acknowledged the work of the whole community
The environment's trashed, everybody got set back
Vehicles smashed, power poles fell or leaned back
We need to summon Goku in, ‘cause Super Saiyan or kaioken
Could help the situation we're in
But on the real we got the first responders on the scene, CUC
GPA, the military clearing the streets
Firemen, EMS, volunteers, police
Put in work to help us get to work every morning
To make a living to survive the coming days
Like we're unfazed, homies, y'all doing great
Keep doing your thing, making the island proud
Block out the haters and just ignore them for now

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

Yo, if you aren't contributing positively in any form
I'mma make a call to the Commonwealth Utility Corp
Tell 'em to skip your place on all the repairs
'Cause you refused to tread lightly while we're all in despair
Adjust your core, dial in the sympathy
Times are hard, so I'm hoping your bullshit keeps missing me
You kidding me, you gotta grow from the dead spot
Or I'll snipe you down, with a head shot like I'm Deadshot
Do nothing, do you, but step aside
‘Cause the grownups gotta head out to work today
Fighting with a boss to get all these hours locked in
To pay for the bills plus repairs and food on the plate
Financial assistance, yo, recovery's the mission
Keep it positive, homie, I’mma need y'all to listen
Like Soudelor in '15, we will overcome
So get it together, I know I'm not the only one who's
Living like the olden days, outside
Learning humility now in the down time
The experience delivered with traumatic lessons
But Inziro Clan bring that healing of the tensions

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

Don't hold me back, don't hold me down
(Don’t hold me back)

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

(Don't hold me back, don't hold me down)

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

(Don't hold me back, don't hold me down)

Yo, it's an island wide blackout
Take your bullshit and throw it all back out
‘Cause that's the last thing we need right now
Fix your attitude or your lights stay out

Don’t hold me back, don’t hold me down
