This Lithium Mines, This Lithium's Mines
For your son of Samsungs and your poisonous Apples

Who's to blame for the way life is every day?
It's a shame how we use and abuse everything
But we refuse to do anything

I got no hope left in man
The shoes on your feet, the phone in your hand
We don't give a damn, who suffers to make it
As long as we can still post to the gram
So, smile with your girl, ladies vogue with your man
Just pose for the cam, they stole out the land
A lotta cobalt and also coltan
Kids do be dying for lithium-ion
In a town, in the Congo, I bet you commit suicide, man
If you were mining, shit's horrifying
Not to mention sometimes mines do collapse
Now you injured inside one
But you gotta do, what you gotta do
Cuz your little brother is hungry
And dog, your sister is crying
We can live with no diamonds
But none of us ever gonna be able to live with no phone
This is wrong, lotta rechargeable shit in your home
When in Rome, live like a Roman
Better have a phone when the pigs is patrolling
If you witness injustice
Tell em that you got the newest iPhone and it's videoing
Exploitation is interwoven into our economy
Like cigarette smoking, addicted to owning, the best new phone
So, we can see the likes on the shit that we posting
Been like this forever probably never gonna change
Been a drought of compassion don't think it's ever gonna rain
To wash blood off the diamonds you got embedded in your chain
Or the blood on your hands from text messaging your bae, hey

So many ways we could a changed so many things
But what do you say when it all comes crashing down?
And no one is safe, we hope, and we pray
We want it to change in so many ways
But no one can change
I'm just saying, who's goin do what we won't do for us
And we might try but we don't do enough
If we can't change then they feel pain
In so many ways, in so many ways, yeah

We all been bit by the python
Batteries Plus makes a lot of fuckin money off of lithium-ions
Lose jobs if profits are declining
My employees make fourteen
So, to make rent they perspiring
Cuz the price for apartments always rising
Wish I was lying, retirement y'all I'm trying to save for
Look in my bank account I'm straight bro
I got a good salary, also I slang on the side
Thank God, I'm so grateful
But inflation real need to make more
Or hopefully never make less
These Chinese that live by refineries
Coughing and sneezing, it's hard to take breaths
The land where they live is vanquished
The water is poisoned, the trees have been dying
The reason they always stay stressed
They worried and very anxious
I don't wanna be like seventy
Working full time just to buy necessities
I don't wanna add to your agony
But I gotta keep on slanging these batteries
Everybody know that we don't give a damn
Everybody know that people evil man
Everybody know that mankind suck
This ain't no Illuminati evil plan
The dust in the air from the graphite
It sparkle and shine in the black night
They say that them lithium-ion cars
Much worse than the phone where I type these bars

So many ways we could a changed so many things
But what do you say when it all comes crashing down?
And no one is safe, we hope, and we pray
We want it to change in so many ways
But no one can change
I'm just saying, who's goin do what we won't do for us
And we might try but we don't do enough
If we can't change then they feel pain
In so many ways, in so many ways, yeah
