[Intro] Yeah Yeah [Verse] 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 wealth, 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 bе another East Indian Trading Co Spilling Mars spices across the most pristinе of space gates Until someone start a war, over 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 what really funded 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 Europe cut 'em all down to build They cathedrals before me so you could get off mega quarters Listen, I ain't salty, salt for sale too Are we finna act like standing rock protesters weren't absolutely correct? Dakota water sources stained in earth blood History got bars Rhymin' 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 as 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 That we respond much better to crisis Than we do to warning, and I'm starting to wonder about the first part, but 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 f's to give are just a fossil fuel, nonrenewable Yes, there's enough of you to go around, but where is yo' code? Everything ain't for everybody When's the last time you said no to something Even though the bag was oh-so-yes? Why are there chunks of you floating around 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)
