Weeklies came back early 'cause it was Earth Day
Mother Nature's birthday
But environmental racism is hurtin' the hood in the worst way, yo
Hold up
Give us a chance, quit building them chemical plants
We don't want that smoke, here's a list of demands
Fix Flint's water, take a Michigan stance
Picture getting your hands wet and poison sit in your glance (uh)
Giving us autism, empathy's missin' and ADHD, teachers can't get me to listen
A low test score is a penitentiary visit, 'cause they buildin' a pipeline from elementary to prison
It's all facts, if you care to dispute it, told me to reach for the sky, but the air was polluted
Now I get it from the mud, but the soil's contaminated
So the fruits of my labor are hard to share when I'm rooted (you dig?)
Climate change is real, you can't ignore the vibe
You end up be Charles Baldwin, you can't ignore the tie
That ain't where the poor reside by 2045
Just keep your eyes on the shore, because it's sure to rise (right?)
You better retreat for some cover, karma for
Dumping your toxic waste, so people of color forced into dirty water
Might as well drink from the gutter, politicians lying to us
Thinking they speaking to suckers
We talking, they ain't heard us yet
Cold dust from the train tracks causing birth defects
Make you wrap your hands around they throat like a turtleneck
Humans are the cancer that the Earth detects
So, what's next? We on the verge of extinction
Bob your head as that sinks in
My sink bin is blacker than my ink pen
They do it for the cash money, they chemicals give me asthma
I'm feelin' a lil' Weezy when I breathe in
What's crackin' homie? Nah, what's frackin'?
Extracting oil from rocks and the profit stackin'
The oil spillin' the soil, y-your vegetables are blackened
The rich eat the poor, then wipe they mouth with a napkin
But you don't like me conscious rappin', right?
You want some jewels, homie? (Tap in)
Yo, shout out Doctor Bruce, what's ha'nin'?
