Greener - Arrested Development

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and

The grass can be greener on the other side

The grass can be greener on the other side

And the people go

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Friends of mine worry about they welfare

They’re not really doing well they’re just doing fare

Without medical healthcare pockets bare

Hiding their car far from repo man

Checking caller ID before they answer they phone

Bill collectors call round the clock at their home

But they still wanna gone & replace their light bulbs

Blacks want to be green, we wanna recycle

Many of us poor so we take the mass transport

Walk streets, bump beats, that’s what the headphones are for

No SUV’s steady spilling mad smoke

All the baller images is just us in the video

Most people that I know is on foot

Living green naturally it’s all good

I -Recycle cans and paper goods in my hood, son

No trash mouth 'cause trash is better in a dump

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and

The grass can be greener on the other side

The grass can be greener on the other side

And the people go

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

I stopped to get gas at the Citgo

I saw a brother passing by throwing trash out his window

I walked over and I picked it up

It was a Styrofoam cup filled with cigarette butts

What the (uh), he was thug and a litterbug

I’m just trying to be a man that recycling

See we support waste management

And their efforts to prevent waste from piling up on each continent

We separate the paper and elastic

Then do the same with cardboard and plastic

We take glass and bulbs filled with halogen

And put aluminum and tin in a separate bin

My next of kin yeah we heard about it

But we’ve been letting friends worry about it

See where were from smog is hovering

So I’m dedicating this verse to helping mother earth to recover

Organically we grow our trees

Flowers blooming, attracting birds and bees

Teach our kids how to plant seeds

And nurture harvest until the season comes

Soil we feed

Soil we feed

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and

The grass can be greener on the other side

The grass can be greener on the other side

And the people go

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Life is filled with challenges

My boy’s kidneys failed man he’s on dialysis

3 hours to filter his blood every day

We trying to learn more about the herbal remedies

Get back to the way God meant for it to be

Hanging with my peeps on the stoop being free

Should’ve listened to the Indians and not the Pilgrims

The world warming up, there’s much less chillin'

And yet where I’m from there 's still some convincing

Older folks don’t trust the White’s intentions

Some think natural living is hocus pocus

But with record high heat waves they taking notice

Mix the sunshine add some rain

A pinch of loving sow a seed and

The grass can be greener on the other side

The grass can be greener on the other side

And the people go

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay

Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay, Ah-ay
