Inspiration Behind The Song 2045


A new single called 2045 by Katie Ann and MC ZiLL is a conscientious hip hop song that rebels in the questionable fate of our planet. 


What was the motivation behind writing 2045?
The lyrics in this song aren't happy cookie cutter lyrics, they're about a lot of bad stuff that our planet is experiencing. The white elephant in the room that we're all asking ourselves - is our planet dying? For some it's an easy question to answer, but for others it's more convenient to turn the blind eye and blissfully ignore the warming signs our planet is exhibiting. 


2045 isn't necessarily about a dying Earth, it proposes the possibility of changing course together as one, in which humanity takes steps towards a more sustainable planet. Providing the opportunity for listeners to think about the future and our seeds of generations to come who will inherit the condition of our planet. Are we setting them up for failure? Certainly without our planet humanity will die. Taking care of Earth should be a priority for every human, being responsible for their small part makes a big impact on the overall quality of our environment. 


An Earth Day Dedication 

The composers who wrote 2045, MC ZiLL and Katie Ann, are a husband and wife musical dynamic duo, in addition to being educators (math and music teachers). They chose to release this song on Earth day as a dedication to our planet, hoping that even if people only listen once, maybe it will make a difference. 

Lyrics


Hook:

Will we survive?

Generations have killed 
One generation revives 

To see 2045?

Can’t run and hide, 
Fall back
Step aside 

One generation
To improve mankind 

Change minds 
One at a time 

Will we survive
To see 2045?

Let’s thrive in 2045

MC ZiLL Verse 1:

I share, help people hear 
Educating if you’re unaware 
Assist with seeing clear 

Green house effects always have been here 
Consequently built up 
Trapping gasses in our atmosphere 

Rising sea levels 
Stronger hurricanes, monsoons 
Temperatures high 
Sleuth throughout haikus 

Environmental tycoons 
Disregard typhoons 
Temperatures low 
Much fluctuation ensues 

No kidding buffoons 
Sniffing on car fumes 
Toxins released and consumed 
The time is High noon 

Major reductions
In fossil fuel combustion
Derail the function 
Instruct, curtail the public

CO2 gasses
Overcome the status quo
Time to clean glasses
We bat our eyes, let it go

Atmospheric concentration
Forests, lands soak it up
Human consumption erupting
Do something; slow it up

Katie Ann Verse 2:

Move minds 
answers to find 
Shake immoral disbelief 
What happened to the coral reefs?

Honey bee
Now an endangered species
The Artic sea 
will soon be ice free 

CO2 emissions
Destroying our ecosystem 

Mother Nature can’t ignore
much more
Powerful winds roar

Ignorance is bliss 
A sea once full of fish 
Now burns with Pyroplastics

Icebergs melting
Faster than 
Forests burning 
It’s out of control 
A dominoe affect 
Learning 

We’re facing a biological annihilation 
Unnerving diabolical violations

On the brink
Heading for extinction

Blood thirsty Greed 
destroying Biodiversity

Our planet is dying
We need to stop lying 

MC ZiLL Verse 3:

Gigafire
Massive blazes burning
Extreme heat waves 
forecast temperatures turning 

More intense than 
Previous weather events 
Learning 
presents a consequence
An intent to prevent 
yearning 

Playing a game of chess
a mess 
nowhere to escape
Noble warning 
global warming 
checkmate

Obey rules in May else 
CO2 molecules may remain 
In the atmosphere for 100 decades 

Who really knows best?
Have we reached a crisis mode yet?
Keeping it status quo 
Only slows progress 

Electricity blackouts
crackling like a pop rock
towers demolition 
OG definition of a “hot spot”

Bridge the divide 
Present minds, future vibes 
Never truly saving lives 
Unless stubbornness subsides

Empathy climbs
History lessons combine
See if we swallowed our pride
When 2045 arrives man 


Stream 2045 on any major music platform!
