10 Years From Now - Tyke James

Description

This is a song that i wrote in Calif. I wrote it like yesterday but i wanted to share it bc there are a few things happening that people don't know about and/or don't know what to do about them. One big example that really inspired this song is the big fire in the Amazon rainforest. More on the issues below:

Up to one million individuals that live in the amazon are at risk of losing their homes because of these fires and encroaching cattle ranchers.

LYRICS
could i even change it if i tried?
the world is on fire.
if brazil could stop it on their own oh they would stop it.
but we only see what stumbles into sight
mm m
would you even change it if you could?
are the trees to you just wood
and if the solution to the problem came up to you would solve it or does an apoctolyptic playground for your kids make u excited

10 years from now
when there’s only one more
tree to burn down
would you wonder where did i go wrong
could i have stopped it if i tried when i was young.

all this polypropylene must be alright
it’s killin the tides
and the war against ourselves got nothing on the rager outside

plastic in the fish must sound ok
if i douse it in furikake
i must seem like im trying to change the world but i’m only trying to change ur mind

10 years from now
when the waves are breaking on your lawn
would you wonder where did i go wrong
could i have stopped it if i tried when i was young.

i hardly can believe what’s goin down
i can’t walk on the beach without the thought of a man with a gun
am i the only one?
that gets scared to predict what my kids will be dealing with in 10 years in dead heat with no meat

in 10 years from now
when danger hide in social crowds
would you wonder where did i go wrong
could i have stopped it if i tried when i was young.
