I lost 37 of my friends

45,000 to shoot them down

They got no service or burial ground

They got rolled up on by a crew
They were attacked by a group (crew).
And it makes me feel most blue
The speaker feels deeply saddened by this event.
When the land floods

And the ground is wet like hell

I sure hope

I sure would hope you've got a pale, yeah

Even a hat would do

'Cause I'm telling you

We need the Trees
The speaker stresses the necessity of trees for some purpose.
Now those Owls they've got no home
Owls have lost their homes due to gentrification.
They've been gentrified to the bone
They have been completely displaced.
We all know that Grass don't pay no property tax

It makes me sad that I've said nothing but facts

When the land floods

There will be no Trees to drink their fill
Without trees, there will be no water source during floods.
The Rain will wash us all away
The rain will wash away everything without trees.
So please
The speaker urges the planting of trees.
Plant a Tree today
A direct plea to plant a tree to address the issues highlighted.
