Lose the Ivory

If you had,

One shot,

Or one opportunity,

To seize a small elephant in your enclosure,

Would you take his ivory?

Or just let him live.

His trunk is sweaty

Life's bleak elephants heavy

There's a sniper aimed at his head already

Mom’s upsettin'

The park service

They nervous

But they looking calm and ready

To enclose

But the enemy is revving

When they shot down

The forest just goes so loud

They open their mouths but the words won't stop now

Revoking now

Everyone's revolting now

The trunks are out

Elephant down over plow

Snap back to reality

This is brutality

Animals are animals

What happened was a tragedy

It's been three years,

But it's the 100K that's been shedding all of these tears

Now these elephants are in heaven,

All go up to heaven

It's the enemies' collection that is very upsettin'

And that we should not support the enemies' terrible selection

Now all these elephants are gone

That's why I’m singing this song

So we can all get along…

You better lose the ivory,

The jewelry,

The moment

You better never let it go.

You only have one shot

Do not miss your chance to go

This poaching's bad and it

Kills many lifetimes.
