After world leaders met in Rio to talk about sustainable development and the global green economy, we want to make sure there is continued pressure to discuss what a real green economy looks like. "Global WarNing" exposes greenwashing by corporate polluters—and calls for an end to handouts for the fossil fuel industry. Want to help?

Lyrics -

Seasunz: 

where's the bailout for this?
 swim out the metropolis cuz ice get melt like sun kissed icarus when lake chad is drier than bagdhad
your numbers don't add just the greenhouse gas appalachian coalminer fisherman from bangladesh
uncle sam making bets write his name by the ex-xon valdeez
probably asthma's next little johnny got a funny knob in his neck
so what the problem with that?

you just a corporate exec who extract that oil from the backs of nigerians
gimme that pass out techs like refs do to mavericks offset politrix copenhagen
no debating need the reparations

and while you waiting another 600 acres gone in the congo and amazon by the end of this song

Chorus: 

On it, on it, we're so on it Gotta be on it if we ain't on it we're a goner
Who?
Me, you, everyone and their mama

It's our world, so defending it with honor On it, on it, we're so on it
If you ain't on it, this a warning Take a look at the world around Cuz the temperature is rising, the time is now

stic.man: 

Look... Look..Look..

Go green, Go solar, Go agriculture,
fya burn Mac Donalds and Coca Cola

All corporate vultures should burn in the toxic sulfur they emit for every dollar the get
They exploit the culture
And take resources
control the media
and censor the voice of the voiceless
sitting back fat in they office

they dont see people, just profits and losses
the seed wanna grow, but its deep in darkness

the hood gotta learn how to turn the garbage into healthy soil
we could help the world, but we running out of time, like they running out oil

Chorus... 

On it, on it, we're so on it Gotta be on it if we ain't on it we're a goner
Who?
Me, you, everyone and their mama

It's our world, so defending it with honor On it, on it, we're so on it
If you ain't on it, this a warning Take a look at the world around Cuz the temperature is rising, the time is now

J.Bless: 

it's hotter than july, right?
feel the sunlight but it's only april
somethin don't feel right and yeah it's true we all live under the sun but what we doin got us all living under the gun cuz the science is real
but the politics are dominant without action the outlook is ominous

but on the nuts of the governments
the lobbyists and they get dat dough to keep the stat quo
freeze that cash flow and scorch the natural pale white horse coming directly at you

took a whole lot of troops to topple a statue
but just one katrina put a tree in your bathroom

cuz we don't live in a vacuum things you put out in the world will come back and get at you like a boomerang don't care who threw it how you gon' explain to a hurricane that you didn't do it
