earth day n tha hood
Singer:crooked i
weeklys came back early 'cause it was earth day
but environmental racism is hurtin' the hood in the worst way
my brother dizz made this
quit building them chemical plants
picture getting your hands wet and poison sit in your glance
empathy's missin' and adhd
teachers can't get me to listen
a low test score is a penitentiary visit
'cause they buldin' a pipeline from elementary to prison
if you care to dispute it
told to me to reach for the sky
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 can't ignore the vibe
you end up be charles baldwin
that ain't where the poor reside by 2045
just keep your eyes on the shore
because it's sure to rise
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
thinking they speaking to suckers
cold dust from the train tracks causing birth defects
make you wrap your hands around they throat like a turtle neck
humans are the cancer that the earth detects
so what's next? we on the verge of ex-tinction
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
