Don't call me hippy cause the way that I look,
|
Cause I got a recipe and you know I can cook
|
And I come forth with only good intent,
|
You know I am Heaven bound but I'm surely hell bent
|
On getting the job done like I know I should,
|
Get the job done like my momma told me to.
|
Only one thing can remember she said,
|
You gotta earn all of your respect.
|
|
And I don't care what race or what colour or what creed
|
All that shit don't bother me,
|
Only one thing that you should not forget,
|
You gotta treat you mama wit respect
|
|
And I don't care what fashion the styling of yo hair,
|
I don't care about the car or the clothes you do wear.
|
Only one thing that you should not forget,
|
You gotta treat yo mama with respect.
|
|
I got a couple of friends up in a tree in North-Cliff
|
You know they're doing their part
|
|
You know they're doing their bit.
|
Trying to save our Mother from all this greed
|
You know they know what she wants,
|
You know they know what she needs.
|
I got a couple of Sista's in South Australia,
|
Stopping the Uranium from coming up,
|
Oh yeah man you know they know what she need.
|
|
They're stopping all of that Government Corporate Greed!
