Lyrics | With My Hand

WITH MY HAND
with my hand , I effect how clear the water flows
with my hand, I direct just where my trash goes
with my hand, I effect my own neighborhood
with my hand, I can make it look bad or good

candy wrappers stuck on your feet,
wet newspapers all over the street
plastic bags flying in the wind,
where did all this trash begin?
it all came from people’s hands
and today’s the day to understand
trash is what we produce and we control what we let loose
there’s trash in the water, trash in the air,
and it’s causing trouble everywhere

A friend of mine didn’t know
when he threw his trash out his car window
that I was standing there and I did protest
but he shrugged his shoulders as he confessed
he said “I’m giving someone a job”
I said “no you’re not you’re just being a slob
when people see your trash there
they’re gonna think that we don’t care
they’re gonna throw their trash right next to yours
and there will be more trash then there was before
look at the street and understand
you control the trash around here!!
with your hand

candy’s bought at the corner store
how does it’s wrapper get to the shore?
the shore of the river, the ocean or lake
wrappers on the ground rain water takes
them down the street into the sewer, yo
where did you think your litter goes?
it goes through the sewer, through the pipes
out to the river to the beach you like
so look at the litter on the sand
it all came from someone’s hand
