The Earth is a mother more specific a host
Disrespect sacrilege we are coming close
Natives know we don't drink the sea
Complacency just ain't in me
Impatient he no respect or fear
Drain her blood Desalination here
Process so clear
See we are drinking the ice that melts as we warm
Barely notice its gone see we focus on
Some real nonsense huh notice ma I aint raise the voice like I normally do
Because I'm Barely through
Prepared for who Chula Vista Mista
I don't just blow hard tornado thoughts I twist ya
Warring with weather modifying the climate
Damn near perfected beyond trying it
You not buying it but feeding economy
Western Astrology stars celebrity
Maybe they ahead of me but I don't see that
Nourished by greed hip hop don't need that
Sorry I didn't sign that constitution
Don't believe in exploitation or pollution
Consuming not solution it's more like distraction
Wrote about it thought about it feeling like some action
Asking why U.S. is irreplaceable
Because we love pleasure and senses are insatiable
Truth is escapable if we are all numb
May be devoid of knowledge if we all young
But elders come with baggage outdated contracts
Bad blood and combat how we suppose to calm that
First look where we at my people on the front lines
Not feeding the economy nope we are not buying
Greed die trying evangelist bother me scream patriotic
Do they understand relationships should be symbiotic
Ancestors never got it chose to take take kill
Build a dungeon for you try to shake that deal
Tired of the base camp moving to the front line
Time for revolution to direct to front lines
I expect to reach minds in process expand mine
Some demand shine I intend to earn mine
Gap grew with time some thinking that it's closing
Enticed you with trickery I heard you hoping
Then they got you roped in addicted to credit
Wanted you life energy lent you money to get it
They want you enslaved to their ancestors' contract
We haven't even noticed that to painful to look back
I'm not really focused yet currently scanning
You get attention through talking success takes planning
The one left standing should be a solider
Young watch what you'd die for wealth they will lie for
How much more shall the poor endure
Searching for a dream they should see is a nightmare
Chew on that a minute I'm a end it right there

Thanks David, these are the lyrics to a song I wrote called Understand that. I am still trying to figure out how to format it so it can be read and understood. I will see if I can link the song but it is on my soundclick but I am not sure if that is allowed.Then I take back what I said. Song lyrics are something I don't understand and certainly can't write. I know they are best sung rather than read, and that is why I thought it needed some work. If I could hear it in song, it would probably be great.Thanks for the explanation.
