[Verse 1]
How much fruit can dem take from the tree?
Before it won’t fruit anymore?
Wise man know that
One must wait till dem fall
When that peach is yours for free
[Pre-Chorus]
In the name of progress disturb the peace
Who capitalize the least
When dem civilize the beast
The land is bare and no one plants the seed
My mother pleads
[Chorus]
How can we see the same view?
When your first and I'm last?
We can’t start anew
Till we address the past
[Verse 2]
How much longer are we gonna play these games?
'Cos I'm sick of living in this manufactured shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't in a laughing mood
They’ve come to extract the crude
While a child he has no food
Keep taking what ain't yours but now we woke
It’s the mirror smoke
[Chorus]
How can we see the same view?
When your first and I'm last?
We can’t start anew
Till we address the past
[Post-Chorus]
The land is bare and no one plants the seed
My mother pleads
[Verse 3: MELODOWNZ]
We don't want your sympathy
We just your need your peaches
Took an apple off the tree
It was the sweetest thing I've tasted in a while
Yo the Babylon was shoutin' me down
Cause they don't like me style
All I really wanted was to make my momma proud
Respected elders in this world can be so out of bits
Living in a world full of power mixed with [?]
Turn up to the party with a old soul
Melo feeling hearty when I'm composed
[?] my rhythm is so indigenous
Mediate on the melody
Celebrate where hibiscuses go
My third eye sits on the apex of the mountain peak
Tryna colonize my soul pick my fruits from the highest tree
I light a doobie and channel my newbie
And don't even know the knowledge I hold
Or even the type of the school we in
I'm an ancient Polynesian for a reason
Unaware of the temperature better check the season yah
Why they wanna come with animosity?
Nothing in your fruit bowl g this peach is yours for free
Come again come again come again
Nothing in your fruit bowl g this peach is yours for free
[Spoken]
Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
Be blessed in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen
