40. g.e.a. #3 (fmb/ fudgychewy)

I'm not the Lorax, I don't speak for the trees
but my rap name is Alex, I speak through the trees
sometimes speak to the trees
(could be worse. Could be a jellyfish)
and I listen carefully, so I clearly can see
that they speak back to me, I can appreciate their needs
so when they cage rivers and groves behind dams and fences
I'm preparing to fuck shit up and pay the consequences
cause I've tried but can't identify real choices for me
in the land of the free, See we know all about Democracy
you can either vote for Rick, to come and crack you with a big stick
or you can vote for Mike, who'll really clock you with a lead pipe
and you're like / no no no. A lead pipe's not what I like
so now your skull is getting thick from getting WHACKED/ WITH A STICK
next time you bend over I suggest you come back up with a brick
and just start swingin and scrapping and finally makin somethin happen
for all we Know they're on the Ropes so let's drop it like it's hot
You anger is a Gift, MAN... and look how many presents you got
sometimes we need to RAGE the machine All appart
sometimes we can use art and just grease the siezed parts
but regardless we don't fight each Other over Tactics
we just Scream SOLIDARITY and we get each other's Back kid

(It's an attack. It's an attack on the lives of our children and everybody else's children)

I see the need for change so I'm planting the seed
I'm trying not to get caught in the labyrinth of greed
I never been in a fistfight, haven't had the need
But I once bit a carrot in Reno, just to watch it BLEED
(You know where you are? You're in the desert baby! You GONNA DIE!)
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How many rivers can you choke off, mountains blasted asunder
Logging more laws to insure more logs get lost
Harassin Sherman Austin, tryin ta teach us the cost in resistance
they're just teaching me persistance
and insistance on putting Earth first in every instance
So what you know about

the fun in the summer sun wildflower plains
an autumn wiggle in the middle as you giggle in the rain
after winter we can spring back onto the tire swing
and remember everything, Oh! I'm about to sing
(while slidin down rainbows?)

there's not a word yet
for old friends who just met
but some day there will be
holla if you feel me

It's like that, that's what it's like
Colage artist on the mic on a rickety bike
so fuck you I won't do what you tell me to
I'm a human being God Dammit! My life has value.
and I try to be simple and plain and still some say
okay, so his rap name is Alex, but what is g.e.a.
man it's just me, I got a PhD, in Freedomology
and you can have one too, don't you see?
g.e.a. and I've come a long way
to say, peace & love & tolerance & justice
