WOD: Sick

V5.5

[Intro – record scratch + skateboard wheels] Hold up… You mean to tell me… “Sick” means GOOD now?! Language is wild. ⸻ [Verse 1] Back in the day if your grandma said “That boy looks sick” You stayed in bed Now somebody lands a triple flip Everybody yells “THAT’S SICK!” Words keep changing Look at that Bad means good And cool means that Wicked’s nice And nasty’s sweet English dancing to its own beat ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Wait… So if words can change… Maybe stories can too. ⸻ [Chorus] That’s sick! That’s bad! That’s wicked! That’s rad! Funny how the meanings Keep getting remixed Maybe all we need Is a different lens To see old stories Brand new again That’s sick! ⸻ [Verse 2] Maybe lazy means Needing rest Maybe weird means Doing your best Maybe awkward means Trying anyway Maybe lost means Finding a different way Maybe quiet means Listening close Maybe slow means Growing roots Maybe broken means Learning repair Maybe healing’s already there ⸻ [Bridge – half rap, half spoken] Language changes. People change. Skateboards change. Haircuts definitely change. If “bad” can become awesome… And “sick” can become incredible… Maybe… Just maybe… The story you tell yourself Can change too. ⸻ [Breakdown – crowd chant] Sick! Rad! Cool! Sweet! Words got rhythm Words got feet! Flip ’em over Turn ’em round Watch new meanings Hit the ground! ⸻ [Final Chorus] That’s sick! That’s true! Maybe growth Looks different too Take one word Turn it around Sometimes hope Is hiding in the sound That’s sick! That’s bright! That’s a totally different way To see your life! ⸻ [Outro – skateboard rolls away] “…wait.” “So ‘fire’ is good now too?” “I’m gonna need a dictionary.”
