Scared For The Climate

My debut single is about my feelings about the climate. I was heavily inspired by climate cafes, a space where people can just be real about their feelings about the climate without judgement. I ask the question can I be scared for the climate because climate deniers always seem to want to squash any real concerns people have about the climate.

All the money from this single will be shared with Olólùfè Collective, an art collective for and by marginalized people.

Artwork Alt-text: At the very back of the art work is a dark blue background with the words climate written all around. Above that is a brown, red and cream pattern that looks like miniature trees. These patterns make the words climate that are in the blue background look red. Below these words, is the word “Climate?” written 4 times in bold dark red writing. The writing is slightly warped so the middle part of the word is stretched like it’s almost popping out the screen and also it is leaning slightly to the right.

Lyrics:
Can I be scared for the climate
Cuz i am scared for the climate
Lets clean the seas more
Feed the bees more
Can I be scared for the climate
cuz i am scared for the climate

While the dust storms
Arctic seas warm
Plastic sea shores
The fishes need more
Can I be scared for the climate?
Cuz I am scared for the climate
An the brightness
It's a crisis
Crude hunter traps
Destroyed habitats
Plus the hurricanes
Things ain't been the same
Can I be scared for the crisis
Cuz I am scared for the crisis

Extreme winters
Extreme weather
They keep lyin'
They keep drillin'
Too much money
Too much spillin'
Can I be scared for the climate
Cuz I am scared for the climate

**Guitar solo**

We're done listenin'
We're done learnin'
We're done listenin'
We're done learnin'
Must we be scared for the climate
For our future we are fightin'
We the people against the giants
We must keep hope can't be silent
We must keep hope can't be silent
From the continent to the islands
From the continent to the islands
From-the continent-to the islands
All my people we must rise yeah
All my people we must rise yeah

Can I be scared for the climate?
Can I be scared for the climate?
Cuz I am scared for the climate

Can we planet for our planet??
HELLLO???!!
