We living in a times where

Our Earth get’s an Hour. Who can you empower?

Indonesia still flooding, Rohingyans still running, Australia fighting fires

Last I heard water in Flint still sour

Is Apple still having microchips shipped to China

Freedom of speech is free until it affects it affects the bottom-line

Cos all they want is the money and the power

Profit, profit, all they want is profit

Pharmaceuticals taking young lives hostage

Education system that won’t prepare us to stop it

Decarbonise and tax oil and gas pockets

We got people displaced by the climate

These are refugees not migrants

Think beyond the borders of tyrants

Who sell out our environment

My morals not for sale, no currency that can buy them

They won’t show the bodies of the dying and the sick

Cos a polar bear gets more clicks

Remember when Bob Marley asked if possessions make you rich

But Nas was right, life’s a bitch

My CPF money, what a mess, I attest

I won’t rest till portfolio divests no I am not impressed

I’m Tryna' switch the channel no

Remote control like the polls

I need some answers about the sand we stole

So sad

This the tragedy of the Commons

The Rhapsody of the Fallen

Democracy is bombing leaving

Toe tags

I need a strategy

For this Apathy

Befallen my fellow man so I feed him in the filament

Need a strategy for this predicament

This is emergency not a warning, that we all immigrants

But we not innocent if our voices not for the fallen

Fuck your freedoms, fuck your First World Problems

South East

South East Asian sweatshops

To have Marina Bay screensavers on your desktop

Bones of indigenous

Who die anonymous

Keep our histories ambiguous

Give the syllabus a stimulus

Cos I was in Paris when they signed the treaty

Greed is a disease and it festers like Ezeli

Neglect the needs of the needy, government graffiti

And my country will destroy nature for a profit

Gentrify to build roads and parks so home prices skyrocket

Some of these politicians really out of pocket

Like Rosa Parks we should occupy it

This is greed, insatiable, sign of our times

You answer to the people for this organised crime

Of sabotaging generations To themselves define

We need to stand the fuck up against the Cross Island Line
