I got what you need.<br /> And I ain’t blowin’ smoke when I say I grow trees.<br /> It’s funny: this economy is based on greed,<br /> But more people don’t farm who got mouths to feed.<br /> Some folks save money; I save seeds.<br /> I don’t water my lawn or spray weeds.<br /> The money I do spend on waterin’ crops<br /> I get right back, cause I don’t shop for groceries.<br /> I got breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the yard,<br /> So that recession ain’t hittin’ me as hard.<br /> My stock grows exponentially.<br /> What, the Wall St. Journal never mentioned me?<br /> Huh…<br /> <br /> Chorus 4X<br /> <br /> Verse 2:<br /> See I’m a city boy, all the way urban<br /> But ain’t goin’ out like the pharoah’s servants:<br /> To eat, they sold their land and cattle for cheap,<br /> Then they gave their bodies up to the 40 hour week<br /> In the city, where pity runs low<br /> You can’t grow food in a loft, an apartment, or condo<br /> So now you work for the dollar and man<br /> When all you needed was sun, air, the water and land.<br /> They think they own the water and land, but they’re confused.<br /> God is billin’ them for what they charge me to use<br /> If they could sell air and sunlight, they would.<br /> We’d suffocate and everyday’d be night up in the hood<br /> But it’s all good…<br /> <br /> Chorus 4X<br /> <br /> Verse 3<br /> One seed and I get a tree or a whole vine<br /> Bearin’ tens, even hundreds of fruit at one time.<br /> So while the dollar bill steady losin’ its strength,<br /> I got enough food to feed ten families on my fence,<br /> Enough melons to make farmers out of felons,<br /> Turn gangstas into gardeners<br /> ‘Cause now they smart enough to keep this system from starvin’ us.<br /> They ain’t drop outs: they know the math from which seasons which stars is up.<br /> We goin’ back to the old ways except<br /> We technologically and metaphysically adept:<br /> Yep, like in the ancient times, when we could speak<br /> With animals, ‘cause we was kin, and they wasn’t meat.<br /> Ya’ll wanna eat…<br /> <br /> Chorus 4X<br /> <br /> Vamp<br /> You see, by myself I could never grow enough<br /> That’s why me and my neighbors don’t grow the same stuff<br /> But we don’t trade, we don’t measure, we don’t charge<br /> We give freely the way we got it from God.
