Between COVID-19, the murder of George Floyd, the upcoming Presidential election and demonstrations, we’re all struggling with many emotions and foundational shifts underway across the country and the world. It’s difficult for many of us to put our thoughts and feelings into words.

Charlotte musician **Jason Jet** has put his to music. The above is the video for his newest single, “Numb,” which addresses much of what’s going on in his head as a Black man in America … and in Charlotte. This video was filmed at the home of a friend of Jason’s on Lake Wylie earlier in June.

Please watch the video, but also read Jason’s lyrics which he has kindly shared below. And, **[please consider donating to the construction of Jason’s new studio](http://www.jasonjetmusic.com/studios)**.

### **“Numb” by Jason Jet
 Featuring [Dennis Reed](https://www.instagram.com/thedennisreedjr/) and [Jay Abe](https://www.instagram.com/jayabe2music/) on Co-Production**

**Intro**
 numb to the world
 and all its affairs
 searching for truth
 but no one’s aware

**Firat Verse 1**
 My brain cells
 Working overdrive just to make ends meet And I don’t sleep well
 People drain me everyday of the week
 But I don’t need help
 I’m done with chasing after fantasies
 I don’t care if you mean well
 Farewell.

Black man, yea
 We’re living in a world
 Where we can’t pretend we’re innocent
 It’s the medias agenda to portray us as feminine
 Where did all our power go?
 Was it when they took our soul
 Or when they handed us the Bible

**Hook**
 You got me numb numb numb
 Somebody call me an ambulance
 They think I’m dumb
 I’m way smarter than your average
 And I won’t run run run
 laying here dreaming bout my exodus
 Ppening my Mind to the elements
 I feel the ocean breeze its so eloquent

**Second Verse**
 Where do we go
 When things hit the fan
 When the ceilings low
 We all gotta take a stand
 Our mothers count on us
 and the kids do to
 and yet we’re still alive
 with so much love to use

Black man, yea
 We’re living in a world
 Where we can’t pretend we’re innocent
 It’s the medias agenda to portray us as feminine
 Where did all our power go?
 Was it when they took our soul
 Or when they handed us the Bible

**Hook**
 You got me numb numb numb
 Somebody call me an ambulance
 They think I’m dumb
 I’m way smarter than your average
 And I won’t run run run
 laying here dreaming bout my exodus
 opening my Mind to the elements
 I feel the ocean breeze it’s so eloquent

Dennis Reed Speech
 There’s a Nipsey in every city
 There’s a Malcolm on every block
 There’s a Martin in your church,
 In your community
 But we gotta stand up,
 We gotta hold each other accountable
 You can do anything
 You’re powerful
 Beyond measure
 You’re black
