Grassroots
Chorus
Straight from the country J Monkey
investing in a piece of the land where I stand
with the eco-meditation one nation
grassroots grown up cosmic seed sown up

Straight from the country get joint money
investing in a piece of the land where I stand
with the eco-meditation one nation
grassroots grown up cosmic seed sown up

Verse 1

Straight from the country, I bump thee

giving props to my family, OJG

and I needed some room and now I chill with the coons

and the wolves and the bobcats - it’s like that

let me recomp on a fat sack, I’m wild back up off me

I gotta go pick some wild plums

MCs get dumb-founded - I’m so grounded

tapped into the Gaian mind

step into my wilderness you might find
the grass is greener and cleaner
than your average urban MC
I’m set free when I hug upon a cedar tree
and get lost in the moss
you simply might say that I’m the sauce
but not the kind you get at Safeway
I’m much more tasty and I’m inspired anyway
just breathing it’s just so deceiving living in Babylon
so I’m leaving - the time ticking behind me
tripping in pine trees you simply won’t find me
unless you’re the straight fucking homie
see in the sticks there’s simply no way one could get with this
unless you’re a hippy or a town hick
see living homeless was full of tension
people looking for a bonus, just to sleep not to mention
what can I eat with no stove?
wish I had a fat grove
of the fruit trees ital
I see the benefit of a broken branch
on the ranch where I reside
and now I glizide like an eagle
back to the fact that my people living real
in the metropolis the mother city when you get toppled
it’s just a taste of tough titties
struggle seems so gritty
possibly due to frequencies transmitting
from the television radars, the player haters
elevators in urban sprawl, am I on the ball?
to say this lifestyle must fall
novelties people look to they shouldn’t fall for these

Verse 2
Take a moment to look outside
and think of all the ways Jah can provide
and if you can’t think of even just one of these
let me tell you kids money does grow on trees
it’s a disease to think that we have to work
we get this idea from men who took over the Earth WTO here to regulate and decide our fate
by determining our trade routesand pay rates
yet they degrate the resources the sea horses
tortoises all the way to rare porpoises
metamorphising this world into a corporate profit
I’d like to take a big atomic bomb and drop it
on the stock market, but hey that’s way too big a target I’ll start my looking at my own
patterns of consumption
do I go to luncheons every day with my friends? spending ends I could be saving elsewhere - beware
of thinking you’re the shit but you got tons of money and you go and spend it
irresponsibly, this is the catastrophe of living in the capitalist paradise
we’re just like parasites -
so make sure that you suck well
off your hostess that’s why I chose this country setting to see about the person that I keep forgetting in the hustle and bustle that means me
feeding myself with the o-r-g-a-n-i-c
For Real!
