Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Put your garbage in the Trash so our neighborhood can last

Forest green Hummer, platinum rims, dropped low

Pauses at the stop light, rollin real slow

Automatic window slides down to the beat

A hand flips fast food packaging on the street

Each bottle and gum wrapper adds to the pollution

You're either part of the problem or part of the solution

The beauty of my hood is determined by the vision

Of the citizens, who choose to rock this mission

Throw it in. Throw it, Throw it in

Throw it in. Throw it, Throw it in

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Put your garbage in the Trash so our neighborhood can last

Is it neglect or disrespect

I display my dismay at how my city is kept

Now I know I might, hmmm, sound kind of bitter

But we all know what happens after winter

When the snow melts, I'm scooping piles of litter

It exposes the truth, small, but hurts like a splinter

This little act of laziness instead of kindness

infringes on the rights of others, showing your blindness

If you can't see the potential of our city

Then you won't have the motivation to keep it pretty

We lack hope in our city; my lawn is the proof

Instead of raking up leaves, here's what I scoop

Soiled paper towels, chicken bones, dog ##$%#@

Paper, plastic, foil, styrofoam, glass and goop

Together we can end this hopeless hoop

Start a new cycle, even recycle, create a fresh loop

Throw it in. Throw it, Throw it in

Throw it in. Throw it, Throw it in

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Garbage in the Trash, Garbage, Garbage in the Trash

Put your garbage in the Trash so our neighborhood can last
