Material Is All Around (Recycling Instrumental) By Dazee Dizzle

When I reposted reduce, reuse, and recycle I began thinking hard about task of feeding people worldwide and the connection that it has with climate change.  Obviously, severe weather can change a whole landscape.

As it is the last day 23 of the UN summit on climate change I figured I would consider my title.  Material is all around.  I am a producer.  I produce so much.  Material is all around.  It never goes away.  It just takes up space on my hard drive.  It clouds my mind at times.  I decided to feed the people.  I have to make a living so it can’t be given away.  At the end of the day, I will have to make sure that I am recycling and looking for ways to have clean power because I am a producer and a power user.

Lyrics from the recording of Material Is All Around

We don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

On this planet we manage life

All things stay that we throw down

In the end we pay the price

Might as well pay upfront

Think advance in years

Not months

Have you simulated

What the structure does

Let’s avoid the acid rain

Manage how we inflict pain

Control the environment

With which we rule

Cause we don’t have no dumping grounds

Or cess pools

And we all want advancement

Just like you

 

We don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

Don’t wanna step on my toes?

But we don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

You blowing smoke up my nose

 

Calculate expectancy

What is the fecundity

It could  be many future generations

Past 2023

I don’t know

Sounds good to me

Speed up tree maturity

That’s what I call security

Want my power to be clean

Take responsibility

Control all of these tests

Put them in facilities

Use it up recycling

Sealed up locked

Cause we don’t have no dumping grounds

Cant leave our messes laying round

 

We don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

Don’t wanna step on my toes?

But we don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

You blowing smoke up my nose

 

We are not some dumb dumbs

We’ll help you with these outcomes

This is not trick or treat

Intersections where we meet

Throw it out it’s in the street

All our things are modified

Our image is personified

And now you know the reason why

 

We don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

Don’t wanna step on my toes?

But we don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

You blowing smoke up my nose

 

I like my amenities

We must make the next move

Future we are not alone

Everything we must produce

Lets work out all these bugs

And catch em when they get loose

Can this all be used again

Like my tracks from 2010

Was warring like a veteran

You don’t have to get it friend

Been around and back

And you can deal with that

I have all the elements

Can get the ones I lack

Don’t assume and not include

You are we

We are you

 

We don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

Don’t wanna step on my toes?

But we don’t have no dumping grounds

Material is all around

You blowing smoke up my nose
