[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)
