was programmed by books and tv
people well they were scary to me
so i backed right off into the trees
to learn from the birds n the bees
what i discovered was terrible but true
i couldnt trust what was coming from you
cos there's something awful that all of ya do
you lie to yourselves first and then what dya do?
you go around feeling one thing and saying another
you speak from your thoughts to your sistas and brothers
don't feel the difference that some can when with one another
them who speak from their hearts to whoever from whichever mother
this grass that i lay on and speak from aint green
it's lost all it's chlorophyll and lovely shiny sheen
cos i've shat on it turned it a nasty old brown
and over the years earnt this perma frown
but what i say now comes from a place of truth
i wish for you all to learn how to raise the roof
we need to come together n we are bit by bit
i'll clean up mine and help you with your shit
this world is our home n our cradle n grave
it only takes one of us to begin t' be brave
that soon takes its toll n so does our work
i know its often as though we are the jerk
but one day you'll see as i do that it's worth it
to stand outside normal society and shirk it
they're all just as scared as was lil ol' me
to clean up my act go green and free
but just like the saying goes love conquers all
so it seems like a very old habits aching to fall
and that fool inside dies every time i act truly
as that part of me failing becomes less unruly
its' lies like those first lines seem petty and small
they don't ring so true now i'm getting things right
i'll keep on doing what i sense to be good for us all
maybe one day my grass will be greener and bright
