if an alien was visiting, i’d welcome them with love
a smile, curiosity, a wave, and a hug
i would steer them far away from all alcohol and drugs
sugar, violence, money, and clubs
if an alien was visiting, i’d take them to the art
in neighborhoods, museums, libraries, and parks
i would steer them far from things that would just dim their spark
the White House, the media, policemen, to start
if an alien was visiting, i’d take away their map
rip it, stomp it, I’d sigh then give it back
i would steer them far from here, before a ship of them were packed
Cause I wouldn’t want green to become the new Black…
