Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a man by the parking lot sign
Says the future’s looking just fine
If we all just do our part tonight
And repeat the phrase when the timing’s right
He says it softly, like a lullaby
With a gentle shrug and a knowing sigh
You don’t need details, you don’t need proof
Just a smooth idea and a solid groove
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Every channel says it with a smile
Like they’ve rehearsed it for a while
No one asks how it connects
They just say, “Trust us—this is next”
⸻
Chorus
We have to support deez nuts
It’s the only way forward now
We have to support deez nuts
They’ll explain the reason somehow
If we don’t, kids somewhere won’t eat
If we don’t, the streets won’t be safe
Yeah, we have to support deez nuts
That’s the choice we’re told to make
⸻
Verse 2
They say if we don’t, the planet warms
If we don’t, there’ll be bigger storms
More crime, more wars, more broken homes
More sad statistics scrolling on phones
They say it’ll stop the cartoon bad guys too
The ones with the sneer and the evil view
Maybe aliens, maybe the other team
Depends which channel you’re watching at the scene
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Serious tone, easy beat
Heavy words laid back and sweet
No need to panic, no need to fight
Just support the thing—it’ll all work out
⸻
Chorus
We have to support deez nuts
It’s for the children, so they say
We have to support deez nuts
It keeps the darkness far away
If we don’t, there’s chaos ahead
If we don’t, it’s on us instead
Yeah, we have to support deez nuts
Just nod gently and go to bed
⸻
Bridge – Spoken (Ultra-Deadpan, Late-Night Jazz)
This is News Team Eleven, reporting live.
Experts warn the situation is critical.
Failure to support deez nuts may result in
increased crime, global instability,
continued hunger, environmental decline,
and possible victory by generic bad actors.
Authorities stress this is not complicated.
(soft sax politely disagrees)
⸻
Final Chorus
We still have to support deez nuts
It’s the responsible thing to do
We still have to support deez nuts
They’ve connected all the dots for you
Same smooth song, same calm demand
Same big threat, same helping hand
Yeah, we have to support deez nuts
It’s amazing what one phrase can do
Outro
Easy chords, familiar fears
Big conclusions, no volunteers
By the time you’ve had enough
We’re already supporting something else
