Earthly by The Overnighters X The Stonesbury

Verse 1

When you think about the earth, come to mind, hah, yo

When you think about the earth what comes to mind, come on man don’t be blinded by sight,

The world is never getting better, no never ever,

There aint gonna be no healer, that’s sadder,

Its we better work together and for the better,

We gotta change it now son, its now or never,

Bridge

No matter if we drive big cars,

Or even big rockets up to mars,

If we don’t know, reasons behind a war,

We don’t need to search that far

Chorus

The more you give, the more you get,

Better yet, you give all that is said,

Instead of hatred, why is not love that we spread,

Okay okay enough of this (sing)

Okay okay enough of this

Simply, where is the world that I miss,

Okay okay okay enough with all of the worlds conspiracies

Verse 2

Be one of kind,

cause kind is contagious,

Me and you, wegotta be, hazardous,

Of the world that we living in,

All the people only care bout cashing in,

And in the end she keeps on dying and dying,

We keep on throwing and using, buying and wasting,

Huh, wasting, again?  

Bridge

No matter if we drive big cars,

Or even big rockets up to mars,

If we don’t know, reasons behind a war,

We don’t need to search that far

Chorus

The more you give, the more you get,

Better yet, you give all that is said,

Instead of hatred, why is not love that we spread,

Okay okay enough of this (sing)

Okay okay enough of this

Simply, where is the world that I miss,

Okay okay okay enough with the world conspiracies

Verse 3

Yo all this contamination and pollution (haih)

Got me thinking and pondering about the situation,

we need more than humans and buildings,

To start building a real nation,

Step outside to my beautiful world (is it)

say hello, to the beautiful birds, but wait,

Didn’t A samad Said that he saw a bird in a drain?

Oh God were we created out of disdain?

Chorus

The more you give, the more you get,

Better yet, you give all that is said,

Instead of hatred, why is not love that we spread,

Okay okay enough of this (sing)

No matter if we drive big cars,

Or even big rockets up to mars,

If we don’t know, reasons behind a war,

We don’t need to search that far
