Earth's Essence
(专辑: Sloppy Seconds Volume One - 2003)
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
