Greener |
Mix the sunshine add some rain |
A pinch of loving sow a seed and |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
And the people go |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Friends of mine worry about they welfare |
They’re not really doing well they’re just doing fare |
Without medical healthcare pockets bare |
Hiding their car far from repo man |
Checking caller ID before they answer they phone |
Bill collectors call round the clock at their home |
But they still wanna gone & replace their 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 and paper goods in my hood, son |
No trash mouth 'cause trash is better in a dump |
Mix the sunshine add some rain |
A pinch of loving sow a seed and |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
And the people go |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
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 Styrofoam cup filled with cigarette butts |
What the (uh), he was thug and a litterbug |
I’m just 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 letting friends worry about it |
See where were from smog is hovering |
So I’m dedicating this verse to helping mother earth to recover |
Organically we grow our trees |
Flowers blooming, attracting birds and bees |
Teach our kids how to plant seeds |
And nurture harvest until the season comes |
Soil we feed |
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 |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
And the people go |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Life is filled with challenges |
My boy’s kidneys failed man he’s on dialysis |
3 hours to filter his blood every day |
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 |
Should’ve listened to the Indians and not the Pilgrims |
The world warming up, there’s much less chillin' |
And yet where I’m from there 's still some convincing |
Older folks don’t trust the White’s 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 |
The grass can be greener on the other side |
And the people go |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay |
