Last week, for Earth Day, Coco Peila dropped her latest single “Whose World?” an amazing new anthem for the climate movement and the Green New Deal. Here are the lyrics. Coco Peila is a Bay Area rap goddess and climate activist.
Whose. World?
Intro
So cold how the Earth heatin’ up/We too busy survivin’ and in a rush
Braiding Sweetgrass said “to love a place is not enough…”/So what We gon do?
Chorus
Whose World is this? Whose World is this one?
You, Me, We all gon’ lift our Voices
Rise up and Shift somethin’
Verse 1
I know it’d hard to pay attention/Gotta get the money, pay the bills and rent it’s temptin to check out
but we gotta come tap in/this Our Mama that we talkin’ bout/The odds are stacked and?
So what?/Ain’t a problem We can’t solve
It’s time to show up/Time to Rise/We seen the Fall
Felt the Bottom/Tasted the rage and the discouragement
Had to take all the mistreatment and We hurtin’/It’s not an alternative but to turn and face the world we livin’ in babe is burnin’ and it’s burnin’ quick
But We learnin’,shit/And I’m certain it’s worth workin to Heal up the planet and make a lastin’ shift
Chorus
Whose World is this? Whose World is this one?
You, Me, We all gon’ lift our Voices
Rise up and Shift somethin’
Verse 2
Same solutions to Climate Change could help end oppression/Picture no Racism, Sexism, Classism pressin’
down and separating Movements/Taking Lives of people
That World We could Build it/One that’s fully peaceful
We need a Green New Deal/Them Greenhouse gas emissions maney/Tell me, how you feel?
I’m feelin’ HOT/Cause it ain’t been rainin’ from The Hills to The Flatlands
Power outages, fires/Got us out here wearin’ masks and
They still arrogant and greedy/Tryna mask the truth
Frontline Communities hit the hardest/Look at the proof
How 40 to 70 percent of COVID deaths is Black/When 22 percent of the pop/Now do the Math
But theres Power in The People/99 to 1
Simple not easy/We could Win it/Uh/We just begun
We facin’ down History/This Humanity’s biggest threat
But there’s Beauty in The Battle baby/And it ain’t over yet
Chorus
Whose World is this? Whose World is this one?
You, Me, We all gon’ lift our Voices
Rise up and Shift somethin’
Whose World is this? Whose World is this one?
You, Me, We all gon’ lift our Voices
Rise up and Shift somethin’
