why, are we doing?

Someone else's trash on the sidewalk, waiting for somebody else to pick me up
People in that building, some are finally speaking, honesty is good for us
Trying, trying
Trying to watch our sun
I'm hoping, hoping
That it's not under smoke
Trying, trying
Trying to get enrolled
I'm hoping, hoping
That we can afford
Afford
That I can afford
Afford
Why can't we afford

We learn about numbers, necessary
But where's mental health and pay
Can we ask some more of
How you been doin
We learn about history, necessary
But where's wealth gap and pay
Can we ask some more of
Why are we doing
And I'm tired of trying my best
But I know it's worth the weight
So I'm kind and trying my best
I know I can let go and forgive

You and me were meant to be
Flying over the west side
You and me were meant to be
Flying over the weather west side
