Like the Lorax, I speak for the trees
So, I ask you to listen please
I will make you believe
You'll be sad when treez leave
Because you need the trees' leaves
I got the bark; I got the bite
My leaves get energy from sunlight
Try to do that; you can't
You depend on the plants
Depend on each other, hang out on my branch
But don't fall; I'm not small; I am giant
I don't mean to boast
But I'm the autotroph with the most
More trees is what this planet needs
In the ground, in your mind, I plant these seeds
And they grow into a planet of trees
You can see we're all part of them, you and me
We are all one connected in ecology

We're all nature
Greedy Earth destroyers are the real haters
We don't need technology
We need ecology
We don't need the economy
We just need to live in harmony
We don't need oil
We grow from the soil
We're all Earth; we're all one
We're made from the water, soil, and sun
In the Earth, trees have their roots
I drop rhymes like trees drop fruits
Free for you to eat
And digest to this phat beat
You see we're all part of the trees
Can't you see? I plant poetrees
MC Treez is you AND me
Have a lot of things? I'm not impressed
I'd rather have nothing in the forest

We don't need their machines
Powered by gasoline
All that is good is green
Don't cut the trees down
Don't rush around
Put your roots in the ground
You move around and go so far
Riding around in your car
You move away from who you are
Trees don't need to move- just stand
Cuz their roots are in the land
Do you understand?
Once you put down your roots
You will finally see the truth
Ecology connects them to me
You mess with the forest when you mess with the tree
There's an effect to everything you do
Like the greenhouse effect, it's inconvenient but true
If you cut the Treez down, I'll just fall on you
Money tells you to do it, but you don't have to
I stand so tall like a giant sequoia
You mess with me and I'll destroy ya

I tower above like a redwood
I can see from up here what's really bad and good
They cut trees down for money
Alive trees give us so much for free
I'm a tree, I see, but you just saw
And they cut me down because
They cut down trees to sell wood
Cuz money's evil, and trees are good
They come at no price
They are free; they make paradise
They make the world nice
Machines make it mean
They wipe away the green
With their gasoline
And tarnish what was pristine
I'm not loyal to countries
Bombs are the fruits of those bad trees
Dead things are the fruits of industrees
Wisdom is the fruit of poetreez
My poetreez grow from me like Shakespeare
Feeding your brain through your ears
Everything from Earth is free
And it comes from the trees

Genius video collage !! Fun and appealing depiction of complicated environmental problems. MC Treez needs new audio equipment or a stand-in for the rapping.
