[Verse 1: Jacky Buckets]

Globalization, got a couple countries and we turn em' to a nation

Got a whole bunch of civilizations

Selling goods and services, even cremations

Turn on your radio station, uh

Turn on your radio station

Got a couple cows, and we use them, lactation

Importing goods, you could never be hatin'

That's what I'm statin, uh

Got a couple fruits, and I got them from Hatians

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lations

Globalization affects my whole life and stuff

Like the computer that I use for my life and stuff

Got a couple shin pads and they are tough

Hear my dog bark, bark, ruff, ruff, ruff


[Verse 2: Yung Webz]

Globalization, look at what it's doing to the nation, yeah

We get some goods, and we transport them overseas, yeah

Globalization affеcts me

I'm wildin' on this beat

I'm a professional rappеr, and I get paid in money

I use this money to buy some goods, export it across the world


[Verse 3: Fire Octagon]

Worldwide perspective, worldwide perspective

All I really needed was a worldwide perspective

If I wanna purchase something

I gotta get it from a different country

That means that I need exporting

And I need importing, and it needs to be free

Welcome to the free market, this is not a flea market

I survive on free trade

Because I'm moving packs out the trap house everyday


[Verse 4: Jacky Buckets]

My life is changing with the economy

Was a youngin' reading Stilton and Geronomy

Or I was readin' Deuteronomy, expanding my knowledge

Got a couple boys and we headin' to College

Whole world together and we workin' on knowledge


[Verse 5: Fire Octagon]

All my diamonds coming from Sierra Leone

I like them imported, I don't mine my own

I just get the money and then I spend it at the store

I got so much chains, but I should probably get more

I just got a whip, and it came across the ocean

I know that I got you awoken

About this globalization phenomenon

If you ask me about my rapping, it's phenomenal

Do you really think we could make all that stuff here?

Do you really think we can make microphones and everything here?


[Verse 6: Jacky Buckets]

Can't make everything we got from here

Like that can of Guinness beer

Got it from Ireland, yes I am the man

Konrad is with me here

Globalization can be bad though

Like when labor's too cheap seen by ILO

Like in Africa, it's really sad though

Too deep to speak about it on this rap flow


[Outro: Jacky Buckets]

The concept of this song is a criticism of society

Often, people just take the things they have for granted

For example, people have goods brought from another country

That are made illegally to lower costs

In order to compete with other countries

Blood diamonds were mentioned in our perfect example

Of how inhumane labor is used to beat competition and make money

Often, globalization is a great thing

And provides you with the things around you

For example, your phone is probably made in China

The food you're eating, like the oranges in your kitchen

Are probably brought from Florida, and even the

Water bottles you have, may or may not be from Canada

Globalization allows us to have all of the things around us

That we use, for a reasonable price

Like the Fiji water I'm drinking right now
