Broke people (What's up with that?) Boat people (What's up with that?) The realness (What's up with that?) The new world (What's up with that?) Am gonna keep up on all that Guns blow doors to the system Yeah when we say we're not with them We're solid and we don't need to kick them This is North, South, East, and Western

about

To The Earth is a collection of four protest songs written between 1967 and 2016, with a strong connection to life in 2020. These four songs shine a light on the treatment of the planet and its people. Some of these songs were written more than 50 years ago, yet they are more relevant than ever today.

Joni Mitchell’s ‘Big Yellow Taxi’
M.I.A.’s ‘Borders’
Radiohead’s ‘Idioteque’
Louis Armstrong’s ‘What A Wonderful World'
