GREENER

(And the people go – Hey ahh)

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and…

the grass can be greener on the other side

(And the people go – Hey ahh)

SPEECH

Friends of mine worry about they welfare

they not really doing well they just doing fare

without medical heath care pockets bare

Hiding dey car far from repo man

Checkin caller id b4 they answer they phone

bill collectors call round the clock at they home

But they still wanna gone & replace they light bulbs

blacks want to be green we wanna recycle

many of us poor so we take the mass transport

walk streets bump beats   that’s what the headphones are for

no SUV’s steady spilling mad smoke

all the baller images is just us in the video

most people that I know is on foot

living green naturally it’s all good

I – recycle cans & paper goods in my hood son

No trash mouth cuz trash is better in a dump

the grass can be greener on the other side

(And the people go – Hey ahh)

I stopped to get gas at the citgo

i saw a brother passing by throwing trash out his window

i walked over and i picked it up

it was a styrophome cup filled with cigarette butts! what the ___?

he was thug and a litter bug

i’m trying to be a man that recycling

see we support waste management

and their efforts to prevent waste from piling up on each continent

we separate the paper and elastic

then do the same with cardboard and plastic

we take glass and bulbs filled with halogen

and put aluminum and tin in a separate bin

my next of kin yeah we heard about it

but we’ve been lettin al gores friends worry about it

see where were from smog is hovering

so im dedicating this verse to helping mother Earth to recover

Eshe

organically we grow our trees

flowers blooming attracting buzzing bees

teach our kids how to plant seeds

and nuture the harvest until the season comes

from soil we feed  from soil we feed

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and…

the grass can be greener on the other side

(And the people go – Hey ahh)

SPEECH

Life is filled with Challenges

my boys Kidneys failed man he’s on Dialysis

3 hours to filter his blood everyday

we trying to learn more about the herbal remedies

get back to the way God meant for it to be

Hanging with my peeps on the stoop being free

Shoulda listened to the Indians and not the pilgrims

the world warming up there’s much less chillin’

and yet where im from there’s still some convincing

older folks don’t trust the whites intentions

Some think natural living is hocus pocus

But with record high heat waves they taking notice

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and…

the grass can be greener on the other side

(And the people go – Hey ahh)
