"yonell moreno I thought so at first too. Listened to it several times back with my family, He said “This year”. It’s his accent and flow so it would be spelled ( this Shear). Hope this clarifies. Let’s keep each other lifted in prayer including Dee-1. We’re all in this together. 🙏🏾❤️"

"1:41, 2:24 How is that making fun & not spreading awareness? This song is just him talking about how the Corona Virus hysteria has effected him & others & it’s uplifting people’s spirits during a worldwide crisis. It also serves as a marker in time & is reaching people who don’t really listen to gospel music. I’m pretty sure absolutely no one is taking this pandemic less seriously because of this song, and just because he isn’t creating music in the style that you would doesn’t mean he’s doing something wrong. This is the inspiration that God gave him. Let the man share his gift the way he was inspired to."

"The Mayor asked him to do a PSA to spread awareness for the young folks, so he made a song. This is far more effective than a press conference to get the message out. Chill dude..."

The mayor mentioned in this comment is the Mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, LaToya Cantrell.
