Lyrics:
I've only got two wheels
and a clif bar in my pocket
I'm biking, riding low carbon
this is climate awesome

bike up grizzly peak like what I can't be stopped
I'm so pumped just bought some gear from the bike shop
grab a bell and whistle, let em know how I'm riding
the people like damn that's a big bad honky!
Rollin' in, hella deep, Berkeley, King Street
Padded bike shorts, and my gloves, and my Cal jersey
Pull up to a stoplight, girls riding next to me
Track stand, swivel hips, I just fell over in my clips.... but he's okay!
Clipping it, clocking it, log it in on my Strava app
Getting passed up, I'm wheezy and I'm sweating it
It's getting hot in here, all these greenhouse gas emissions
Good thing we keep it classy, going green is our mission
I'ma ride East Bay style, I'ma ride East Bay style
Nah for real, Bike Party, are you riding with me now?
Red wheels, and a blue and green underglow
Bike powered speakers, a low carbon party on the go
They had a platform bike, I'm on a platform bike
I'm riding for the climate, and I'm rapping with my mic
Hello, hello, how low can your carbon go?
Prius. psssh ain't got nothing on my velo
I throw down a Chinese crepe, serve it up right
All the people would be like, Aw he got a food bike

What you know about going low carbon?
What you know hmmm President Obama?
Cause we're riding, we're riding, and we preaching the solutions
But what we need is a low carbon revolution
Bike lanes, solar roofs, and some carbon legislation
Local food and renewable generation
We're at city hall, you can find us in the lobby
Fighting for greener laws, yo this ain't our hobby
Your son, your daughter, your nephew, your niece
It's their future, so can we get some climate action, would ya please?
Obama you promised, now don't you be a tease
Don't you listen to Republican's dirty pleas!
They be like, drilling, it's good for the economy
I'm like, Yo you're kidding me right?
Tar sands edition, let's do some simple addition
Good for the economy, that's some talking point bull shit
Keystone XL, that's climate disastrous
Big profits for the fossil fuel business
That pipeline's hella dough
But a pipeline with no benefits to the U.S. is a hella don't
Peep game, let me give the low carbon down low
Try to create jobs with a pipeline, well you hella won't
Nawww you hella won't

I've only got two wheels
and a clif bar in my pocket
I'm biking, riding low carbon
this is climate awesome

I've only got two wheels
I keep it so damn real
I ride to a green beat
From that bike shop down the street (x2)

I've only got two wheels
and a clif bar in my pocket
I'm biking, riding low carbon
this is climate awesome
