lyrics

What's the mark that you leave
The impression of your work?
The shadow that you cast
The essence of your worth
So what's your footprint footprint footprint
And do you care about the legacy left?

If you stop and think about your legacy
Are you considering your impacts?
Or happy just to let it be?
Like would you vote for war
And then ignore the soldiers?
Or sign the Bill of Rights
And then burn it until it smolders?
I hope not cuz that's a lot to hold upon your shoulders
I prefer a clear conscience
Rid of the nonsense
Using my common sense
I hate to say I told ya
But America, the cup has definitely runneth over
And yes, I'm referring to the success
Turned into an excess
Putting Mother Earth through every stress test
Every single message we send her is like a death threat
Tell me how your mother responds if you acting like that
I know that mine would be preparing to fight back
Let's embrace natural bonds and bring the light back
We can't wait until it's too late for real
Cuz it's never too soon to clean the wound and let it heal

What's the mark that you leave
The impression of your work?
The shadow that you cast
The essence of your worth
So what's your footprint footprint footprint
And do you care about the legacy left?

The sun dawned on the east wing
I took notice of the rays through the shades on my oculars
My temperature adapted to the climactic height
So never underestimate how that could impact the plight
Of another entity
Centuries go by
Time is a construct
The butterfly effect is not a myth
An act of kindness could be the subtle force for the switch
From anger to empathy
Depression to hope
A fist fight to an embrace
So look in the face
Of the man standing next to you
The eagle in the air
The fish on the river bend
A child on the stairs
Of a section 8 row house
Will you extend your hand
To replenish the sand
That got blown away with the winds of time
It's kinda volatile
Start borrowing some other shoes and try and walk a mile

What's the mark that you leave
The impression of your work?
The shadow that you cast
The essence of your worth
So what's your footprint footprint footprint
And do you care about the legacy left?
