mother - gangstagrass lyrics

(chorus * rench)
listen what my mother told me
now i’m trying to keep it low key
shut’em down, you don’t know me
i wish i listened what my mother told me

(dolio the sleuth)
i sit beneath a maple tree, in a forest of sorts
just a short way to the waves of the beaches to the north
contemplating on some things, like the never ending war
human bodies in a game where weapon spending’s the score

i watch the bee collect her nectar, touching every bloom
lightly dusting them with pollen from their bodies as they move
in the moment still i think of what this matters to the food
that we all need to sustain ourselves, how much they produce

if this planet’s an organism and the people are cells
and her skin is what we’re piercing when we’re drilling these wells
tell me, what do we say to ourselves
when the blood spills and brings a torrent of death, she’s getting more ill

landslides and ruptures, volcanic eruptions
long warned*about stories of catastrophic destruction
often much of it preventable with preparation or something
but how many lives to save stays an economics discussion
it’s more than hatred, it’s more than the greed
it’s incessant bloodl*st, it’s more than want* it’s a need
they need blood to feed the beast that they heed
who they really pray to, you can see in their deed

poison in the water , removing the trees
still need clean water to drink and air to breathe
whole nation’s slowly sink to the sea
stop to think: where you really want your children to be?

(chorus)
listen what my mother told me
(listen what she told me)
now i’m trying to keep it low key
(trying to keep it low key)
shut’em down, you don’t know me
(shut’em down)
i wish i listened what my mother told me

(r*son)
look
they say bravery is favored by fortune
the enslaved don’t want the world, just their fair portion
ancestral genocide made generations of orphans
still caught in the grips ready to snap from the torsion
the only thing that scares america more
than smart young brothers out to settle the score
is the older cats who stepped through the door
took the medicine for’em, to show’em what they’re not settling for
got’em prepped up and ready for war
on a scale the country hadn’t ever seen before
taking weight off their shoulders, and lettin’em soar
train’em not to whimper. instead, they should roar
because the blood of the jungle is what flows through their viens
creating civilization is etched into their brains
so we’re done with american damage and disdain
but you should already know, i shouldn’t have to explain, c’mon
(chorus)
listen what my mother told me
(listen what she told me)
now i’m trying to keep it low key
(trying to keep it low key)
shut’em down, you don’t know me
(shut’em down)
i wish i listened what my mother told me

(reef the lost cauze)
we’re in a fight for our life
against people who use christ
to justify their f*ckin’ spite
the bible as a gun, religion as a knife, it’s not right
the right trying to take away your rights
and you say “both sides,”
let’s speak honestly
let’s talk legislation, let’s talk policy
let’s talk misogyny and bodily autonomy
let’s talk about who openly wants to bring harm to me
and anyone of a darker shade
let’s stop playing games and call a spade a spade
let’s call it by its name
the only way to change
is if we meet it head on and stop acting afraid
‘cause we don’t want to place blame
right at the feet of those who fan the flames
uh*uh, i’m done playing, i’m done being partisan
when it’s clear women and darker men are who they’re targeting
what are you arguing?
(chorus)
listen what my mother told me
now i’m trying to keep it low key
shut’em down, you don’t know me
i wish i listened what my mother told me
