Earth’s Essence
[HOOK]
I've got some trees and I'm ready to smoke
But when I smoke I think of things that I normally don't
But it's dope because uh
This is part of the Earth's essence anyway
So if the Earth could speak
This is what it would say
(x2)
[VERSE 1]
It's time for some change like cleaning under cushions on your couch
Nowadays everybody lookin like the Grouch
Evil infecting people from Brooklyn to the south
If you see any haters in your cypher than push 'em out
Throw 'em to the curb, throw 'em the peace sign and tell 'em
"holla lata when you not a hater"
And "get off my tip, I'm not a waiter"
I've got enough room in my Garcia Vega
To smoke away all of you reptilian snakes and alligators
That may be trying to tackle me so that you could shackle me
Separate me from my faculty and get some cash from me but
Actually, around the corner comes reality
So when what goes up comes down, don't blame it on gravity cause
Humans have the ability to create
But most of 'em just take. It's so easy to hate
What would you rather be, a virus to the Earth or a blessing?
Speaking of the Earth, let me light some of its essence
Cannabis sativa and ginseng open my third eye
So I could see things from a better view like, bird's eye
When I think my words rhyme. When I spit, germs fly
When I speak I say things deeper than where worms lie
So please listen. If you missed it, play it twice
It's time for people to start changing their way of life
Live for the future. I know it's your prerogative
But when you just live for the past, you become a part of it
So don't live in it, learn from it
Don't cut down a tree, plant one and burn from it
It hurts my stomach when I see the state the Earth is in
And if you agree
Play this for one of your peeps and blaze one to the beat
[HOOK]
I've got some trees and I'm ready to smoke
But when I smoke I think of things that I normally don't
But it's dope because uh
This is part of the Earth's essence anyway
So if the Earth could speak
This is what it would say
(x2)
[VERSE 2]
Try to imagine me
Spinning perfectly in the galaxy
Rotating on its axis with perfect gravity
Perfect orbits traveling forward automatically
I give you energy for batteries
You give me casualties
I give you gasoline, fuel, and food
You give me tragedy
If I could possess a human I'd ask him to rap for me
Have him spread the word that Mother Nature's more than fantasy
And if you turn on her she'll turn you to bow to your hands and knees
I mean, I give you trees, water, and air
It's like people forgot how to share what's already there
Now I gotta be shiesty with what I once used to give for free
Like the benefit of the doubt for the things you did to me
Someone's stealing my resources and getting paid for them!
Someone's committing murders and getting away with them!
More people are taking lives than people are saving them!
If you know to love your brother why are you betraying him??
More people are afraid of him and I ain't blaming them
Cause nowadays he'll strike you with dosages of titanium
You used to hate on him as if you were ashamed of him
And woulda traded him
And guess what. I relate with him
When he breathes my essence I conversate with him
Then I teach him lessons and contemplate with him
It took violence to pull together USA again
What's it gonna take to pull the world together? Aliens
Attacking or maybe even meteorites
To make us understand that it's not US that we need to fight
Whoa...
The Earth just possessed me to read and write
That verse
I need a light
And I'ma be alright
[HOOK]
Cause I've got trees and I'm ready to smoke
But when I smoke I think of things that I normally don't
But it's dope because uh
This is part of the Earth's essence anyway
So if the Earth could speak
This is what it would say
