Wood is back with his first single in over 3 years, You, Me, the Reign is a song about wishing you could exist in a perfect bubble with your partner when the outside world gets too chaotic. He started writing this song in early 2024, but after the election it really came into focus. “Hence the lyrics, I’d build a fortress around us, just to protect this.”
This song is dancey and infectious by design. The chorus “ooohs” feel like protest chants but also a rousing anthem inviting you to sing along. You, Me, the Reign attempts to borrow political momentum from a mix of genres, such as disco, funk, and rock to bring you to safety, community, and freedom.
Eze Jackson raps on this song about a girl named Lorraine, who was something of a mythical Cassandra. She could sense when bad things were about to happen but everyone else thought she... more
lyrics
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s just You, Me, and the Reign
Government downfall, Face plant, asphalt
Petty theft, Civil unrest, Sabotage
While trying my best
Facists, Acting batshit, Silly dudes
combative
I’d build a fortress around us
To Protect this
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s just You, Me, and the Reign
9 to 5, The union tries, Billionare tears
Dry your eyes
Every step forward, 2 Step back, Good ideas
You gotta retract
Sick twisted dinosaurs, Massively waste our resources
I’d build a fortress around us
To Protect this
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s just You, Me, and the Reign
I remember we used to think Lorraine had gone insane
She called the game and now its here blatant and plain
We worked swing states Obama ‘08
She said if he win it ain’t gonna abolish the hate
But quite opposite
She said Supremacy don’t go down fast
And that eventually the empathy would all drown drastically
Masterfully, the racists’ll retaliate
Selling Hope and Change you exasperate hate
I was drinking all the Kool Aid
Like Damn Lorraine
Pessimism is prison it’s a chance for change
She broke it down. sumn like a kindergarten teacher
The billionaire greed’ll rather die ‘for they feed us
They rather debate the true place of fetus
Instead of giving way to create some real leaders
I think about Lorraine and the reign and the pain
and the way that she was never insane
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s just You, Me, and the Reign
