Momma Nature

And the Oscar goes to... Leonardo DiCaprio Climate change is real and it's happening right now It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species And we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters or big corporations But who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, For the billions and billions of underprivileged people who'll be most affected by this For our children's children And for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed I thank you all for this amazing award tonight Let us not take this planet for granted I do not take... Where you gonna stash the money, in the flat or In your pocket, or in the purse the fatter Watch the stories on the news, a wee bit sadder Water wars, Mad Max, it had the matter 'Til when we gonna witness our green top crumble That's a point not got by this concrete jungle 6 nominations, that's a hell of a wait My hat's off to you for not taking the bait Your fans wanted it much more than you Not your fault that you went ahead for something new Leo with the win, you can do with a grin Yet that's the day Momma Nature went all in That's where I'm getting at, I'm back in this track It's high time friend, there ain't no going back Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand What's... development if the air you breathe sucks? Hummers and Jeeps, full tank in your trucks Play with your money, no one screws with you But take a second, think about the things around you I lived in Bangalore, but I'm from elsewhere But that don't mean I leave it with masks to wear The world's a heaven for the swans, eagles and ravens Only humans rape the earth and expect to go to heaven I saw a snake pass the road between two flats A sudden movement in its lashes when my lights flashed Waiting in the car for the snake to move past Gates open, guard came down steadfast With a black long pole stronger than iron cast Struck it on its gut, feeling like a thug It was the last time that the snake moved fast It was the last time that the snake moved fast Where's the snake to go, if we humans filled its hole With concrete and steel, to make our own abode? Incidents like these are around plenty Do I have a solution, I'm a boy around twenty Don't know what to do, start by planting a tree No time for that? Don't tell me you ain't free. Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand When there's a wrapper in your hand And the road is where you stand As a conscious rapper, I have to tell you something, man In 2018, if your normal instinct is to throw it where you see it Saying I don't see a bin By 2019, I hope you take the effort, I would want you to defer And not dump it where you prefer By 2021, I want you to tell the kids, don't let the trash go amiss Until you see some lids Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand Momma Nature, it's now in our hands Before it slips out, we need to take a stand The best time to plant a tree was ten, years ago The next best time is ten, seconds from now
