Zen Garden

Tryna catch my breath in Japanese Zen Gardens Mother Nature choose if she gon use her presidential pardon She is scarred enough from massive disrespect by corporations By a certain greedy few who use their wealth as their salvation Humans thinking we're the rocks that make the ripples in the sand But if that's true, then why we only look at where the f*ck we stand And not the plethora of granules surrounding us, our predecessors Easier to forget, the past confounding us, we're predilectors Maybe I should take a breather and shut up and let Ghoulio instrumentalize But we're killing nature, replacing my pupils with dollar signs to compartmentalize Is not how I run thangs - mattafact that just isn't an option I used to want one of them son thangs, but it's hard just to think bout adoption Earth's a concoction I'm being idealist, classic no bite but a barkalot But maybe America shouldn't be covered primarily in fuckin parking lots And maybe just maybe it shouldn't protect Big Oil instead of its residents And then when a pipeline burst and shit hit the fan there shouldn't be hesitance Instead we built the Dakota Pipeline to be backed by a maniac president! I'M FUCKING ZEN! (Calm down, Paul, calm down I'm not, ahh, I'm fuckin' ZEN!) Tryna catch my breath in Japanese Zen Gardens Bonsais manicured, nature is an art, man There's nothing more soothing than the sound of a brook Moving slowly, super calmly, you're abound by the look Of the detailed, picture perfect, pruned up foliage I tell you that's much better for my soul than the rollie is Life in the city, it is gritty and it's concrete Planting shit in the pavement after means we've gone beyond deep I'm lovin the sentiment but here's a notion - f*ck off to all the developers Who lining their pockets and ruining cities and acting as ennui envelopers Not even consulting, gentrifying is fucking insulting If we give corporations the rein and the trust, 1984 is resulting And I find it revolting, how people can switch off their morals just for the cashflow I'd like to take every fat cat, stand em in one place and get a big lasso And ask them if it was worth it, tryna get kids on tobacco Build a pyre and set it ablaze, bye bye to you evil assholes Our planet is being pushed to the brink of destruction and this is our last hope I'm fucking zen... Yeah right
