We drink out the problem, we snack on the blame Then act surprised when the planet in pain. [Verse 1] Singleuse life, but we living it daily, Fast food happiness, it don’t love you back, baby. Trash in the river like confetti from a lie, Microplastics in the blood like a hush in the eye. They package the future and sell it in pieces, Then blame the consumer when the shoreline releases. “Keep it convenient,” that’s the devil’s soft pitch Comfort is a chain when you don’t feel the switch. [Hook B] Poison kingdom, plastic crown, who you really serving? If the planet got a pulse, why we steady swerving? I don’t want a throne if it sit on a tomb I want a world where the kids got room. [Verse 2] I’m not antiprogress, I’m antiexcuse, Anti “we knew” but still chose abuse. So I’m flipping the script like a bottle to recycle, Turn waste into art, turn a curse into cycle. We don’t need a savior in a billionaire suit, We need community hands and some permanent roots.
