about

¨Green" is the 4th single from Cardboard People. An anthem and demand for the wealth in the United States of America to be redistributed. A call for reparations and restorative justice to be paid to Black American People. When we say 'Eat The Rich', we mean you too.

Growing up, Yunoka would hear about her elders being born and working on sharecroppers land, never given their reparations of 40 acres and mule for 401 years of systematic racial oppression. An ode to James Brown's "Payback", years later Black folkx demand their payment. Don't act like you forgot...

lyrics

Green, Green, get that Green,
Put that money in the bank yall.
Cream, Cream. get that Cream,
Cash Rules Everything Around me yall

Green, Green, get that Green,
Put that money in the bank yall.
Cream, Cream. get that Cream,
Cash Rules Everything Around me yall

Waiting on the pay back, the big pay back
I deserve it all.
I want revenge, give me my ends
I deserve it all
Run me my money, run me what’s mine,
Centuries ago you have run out of time.
Run me my acres, run me my mule,
You must think that I am some kinda fool

Payback, the big pay back,
I deserve it all
I want payback, the big payback
You deserve it all

Give back my crown, give back my jewels
I deserve it all

I’m waiting on my payback
I’m waiting on my payback, my big payback
I deserve it all

Payback
I’m waiting on my payback
I deserve it all


Green, Green, get that Green,
Put that money in the bank yall.
Cream, Cream. get that Cream,
Cash Rules Everything Around me yall

Green, Green, get that Green,
Put that money in the bank yall.
Cream, Cream. get that Cream,
Cash Rules Everything Around me yall
