Parody of Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" some friends and I made for 350 Week on campus. Slightly modified from the original cut we screened at the Earthlust Variety Show on October 23, 2009. Lyrics: My momma said, "You're sucha tree hugger." Way I went through our trash used to bug her. "Keep the cans and the glass from the others." Was that so much of me to ask of her? Being unclean I detested. Speak loudly until they get the message. Asked to recycle, shouted my decree, "So what if that means batteries? And bad CDs? Toiletries?" My parents couldnt stand all the pleas. The drama, people hue-ing me. It aint easy being green, so I come to see. I see liberal ass kids galore. I thought things would be better here at Swarthmore. I thought the leaves would've bade them; I thought that the trees would've swayed them. La, la, la la- Wait til yall finally hear me right La, la, la la- Then you cant tell me nothing right? Excuse me, is you saying something? Uh uh, you cant tell me nothing (HA HA) You cant tell me nothing Uh uh, you cant tell me nothing Let up the Thursday night doors. I brought my cup homie, you ain't bring yours? Plastic's such an eyesore, But that senselessness hurts even more. So I snatched that, trashed that motherfucker my way. Compost's there for reason, Okay? And bitch, no I don't want a tray. And get your fucking utensils after, Kelsey! Should've brought your own mug for coffee. How's it theres so many enviro softies? I guess that would be just too un-hip. Oooo They're so insensitive. Do you print all your text out duplex? One-sided is just straight-up reckless. Let me know if its a problem man. Alright man, holla then. (Chorus) This is three-fifty week. Four-fifty's the peak. The airs packin heat. What we need's a carbon decrease. If we can make changes here, we can help the atmosphere, cause How you gon live in a world without snow? How you gon do that to all the eskimoes? Turn out the lights, you know how that goes. Turn down the heat and wear warmer clothes. Flowers. Unused power. You could just take shorter showers. You dont need much to show that you kinda Care in between and want things cleaner. With that much effort, or you can try hard And help us get far. Looking round for trust But Capt'n Planet ain't gonna save us.
