earth day n tha hood

Singer:crooked i

weeklys came back early 'cause it was earth day

mother nature's birthday

but environmental racism is hurtin' the hood in the worst way

yo

my brother dizz made this

hold up

give us a chance

quit building them chemical plants

we don't want that smoke

here's a list of demands

fix flint's water

take a michigan stance

picture getting your hands wet and poison sit in your glance

giving us autism

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

it's all facts

if you care to dispute it

told to me to reach for the sky

but the air was polluted

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

climate change is real

you can't ignore the vibe

you end up be charles baldwin

you can't ignore the tie

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

politicians lying to us

thinking they speaking to suckers

we talking

they ain't heard us yet

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

what's frackin'?"
