[Verse 1: Illmaculate]
They think the grass on the other side is greener
I bet the grass in this blunt I'm lighting's sweeter
Script it all out, let you come inside the theater
Peep the underlying theme of life stuck inside a speaker
Yeah, that's my comfort zone
Meet me there but come alone
It's 6AM, the sun is shone and I'm running home
The flight's turbulent
These scars are temporary
What I learn and apply to life's permanent
I'm just reppin' for my region
Expressing our experience collectively as beings
Hope my good intentions protect me from these demons
If resistance to an urge is a measure of our freedom
Then we all slaves
We cut it close like a bald fade
Work all day, come home and look for that calm place
Find a tree that gives off shade
Roll up some green grass and do what the songs say
Ay…
[Hook:]
(Green Grass) That's what we rollin' up
(Shady Trees) That's what we looking for
(Green Grass) That's what we rollin' up
(Shady Trees) But life ain't all
(Green Grass) Naw, life ain't all
(Shady Trees) Life ain't all…
(Green Grass)
(Shady Trees)
[Verse 2: Illmaculate]
They think the grass on the other side is greener
I bet the grass in this blunt I'm lighting's sweeter
Script it all out, let you jump inside my sneakers
So you know how it feels to be something like a leader
When there's only sellers in the market
It's hard luck but I'm ahead of 'em regardless
They want to see a failure of a person become successful as an artist
Reminds us of ourselves, a reflection of our hardships
Now they star struck
I got my guard up
They think the grass is greener because the yard's cut
Rap gives me the freedom to be a harsh judge
And reach goals and people, the things I'm far from
They have it all, they ain't happy though
Shit, even if they was they'd be the last to know
Once their tears evaporate and all the clouds are full
It'll rain down on their roof but all the grass will grow
Look around…
[Hook:]
