[Intro]
Uh, yeah (woo)
Ha
Uh, Deckstream
(Deckstream) On the beat
You know
Aloe Blacc in the spot
Uh, uhuh
Trying to educate y'all on how we need to treat the world
You know what I'm talking about
Come on now
[Verse 1]
Now don't take this for granted
People we gotta show love for the planet
And do what we can with
This beautiful home that we been handed
Just think of the future
Think of all of the things that you used to
It'll all be gone if we
Don't think about all the [?] what we got, so
Learn from the ancient times that
That system and like[?] rewind back
Back to how they treat the Earth
How the ancestors knew how much it's worth
To be respectful and to live right
By giving back and to preserve life
Cuz without that we wouldn't be here today
It's so important for me to say
[Chorus]
Get up (get up)
Get right (get right)
Give your love to the Earth, gotta give life
Clean up (clean up)
Respect (respect)
Leave something for the ones who's next
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
[Verse 2]
Imma give this lesson in being green
If you don't wanna listen you're being mean
Now give it a try, maybe you and I
Can help to create a new scene
A scene where the actors are you and me
And the plot and the script have to do with three
Principle measures to take
Rethink, reuse, and recycle the [?]
For a better world, and a better life
Gotta keep the Earth in our sight
If we teach the children from now
Imagine in the next generation how
Much progress will be achieved
All we gotta do is be true and believe
And all we gotta give is a little bit of love
To help the Earth be healthy like it was
[Chorus]
Get up (get up)
Get right (get right)
Give your love to the Earth, gotta give life
Clean up (clean up)
Respect (respect)
Leave something for the ones who's next
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
[Verse 3]
If the lights on, and you ain't using it
Turn it off, no need for abusing
If the water is running at full speed
Turn it down, only use what you need
If the trash bin full to the brim
Separate the paper from the plastic and tin
Take your own bag to the grocery spot
Gas prices are gettin' high, baby you should walk in
Open up the windows when you get hot
Throwin' rubbish out the windows, you best not
Just wait 'til you get to your destination
It's gon be a trash can waitin'
Let this be your motivation
The end of the world is our own creation
Unless we begin to make some progress
To finally relieve the Earth of this stress
[Chorus]
Get up (get up)
Get right (get right)
Give your love to the Earth, gotta give life
Clean up (clean up)
Respect (respect)
Leave something for the ones who's next
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
It's the inconvenient truth
Believe me, I know that you seen the proof
Let's make some changes and teach the youth
We gotta do it now before the Earth go, poof
[Outro]
Yeah, y'all
It's like that
It's just one world we live in, you know what I'm saying
I'm still trying to deal with this inconvenient truth (it's the inconvenient truth)
Just understand that we gotta do what we can to help this world, you know what I'm saying
Every little bit counts, doesn't matter where you at
Be it South America
Asia, you know what I'm saying
Europe
Africa
We all need to come together and make this a better place (it's the inconvenient truth)
Do your little part
You know what I'm saying, that's how we start
Everybody has a little bit that they can put in
Just a little bit of effort
You know what I'm saying
Aloe Blacc I'm outta here
Peace
