Yeah
Yeah
You know, if we're not careful, Mars will be just another gold rush
(What?)
Just another gold rush, another pre-Columbian America
Yo, if we not careful, Mars'll be just another gold rush
Just another gold rush, another pre-Columbian America
Scraping, raping, scratching, gouging
Making up lies to scream and mine in newly-formed oxygen
Tappin' planetary veins
In search of arrogance in the forms of rocks
Imaginary well, you know, the real millionaires
Of the gold rush were the shovel salesman, I think we goin' about this all wrong
We goin' about this all wrong, hmm
Mars finna be another East Indian Trading Co
Spilling Mars spices across the most pristine of space gates
Until someone start a war, all the stuff that just come out the ground, huh
(Just another gold rush) 'Til somebody uses what come out the ground to buy the ground
You know where you can find the Renaissance was the forests
The Atlantic Ocean, you're wrong, Mom
Money does grow on trees, trees are money
We just ain't gettin' none 'cause you all cut 'em all down to build
The cathedrals before me so you could get off with mega quarters
Listen, I ain't salty, soap, or sale too
Are we finna act like standing rock protesters weren't absolutely correct?
Dakota waters sources shamed and earth blood history, we got bars
Whinin' like a mug, if we not careful (If we not careful)
Yo, if we not careful, our friendships will be just another gold rush
People are soul food as utility, transactional, possessive
You know, if you not careful, your marriage'll be just another gold rush
People for pleasure, for lust, identity, it's been my finding
Can we respond much better to crisis
Then we do to war? To be honest, I'm starting to wonder about the first part with device, if they ever got first
We're divided to be if we're not careful
Our health can be just another gold rush
You're too busy takin' advantage of you to even enjoy you
To even enjoy you
To realize that esta gives are just a fossil fuel, not renewable
Yes, there's enough of you to go around, but where is yo' cold?
Everything ain't for everybody
When's the last time you said notice something
Even though the bag was oh-so-yes?
Why are there chunks of you floating around in the stock market?
You couldn't bring yo' full self to a moment even if you tried
If you not careful (If we not careful)
If you don't take care
You may not see that the earth, it'll be fine
Trees crack concrete sprouting their wings whenever they feel like it
But you, you need a break
And even though you don't owe us anything
We are just honored to be in your orbit
If you not careful (If you not careful)
If we don't take care
Mars finna be just another gold rush
Lookin' like the dead earth we just left
(Just another gold rush, oh)
(Just another gold rush)
