The Mushroom Man Lyrics

The Mushroom Man

They call me the Mushroom Man

(Why?)

Cos I big up the Mushroom Gang

(That's right)

They call me the Mushroom Man

(But I)

Ain't gon take up much room fam

They call me the Mushroom Man

(Why?)

Cos I big up the Mushroom Gang

(That's right)

They call me the Mushroom Man

(But I)

Ain't gon take up much room fam

Us man better respect and protect our oldest ancestors

Who pulled us from outta the waters so we can enter

We can never forget to connect to our brothers and sisters

Like the cotton that came across the waves to Manchester

Fungi made us what we are today. Give Thanks to yer

Instead wadda we do?

Cut down these trees like we've not got a clue

When we gon stop what we do?

Fungi soaks up most of our CO2

So if they go

Then we go too!

Think this world's gone crazy like that Cee Lo tune

Mama Earth deserves servants

Time to be those dudes

Insteada medicate let us meditate

Insteada denigrate let us replicate

Natures love that so we can all elevate

Mushrooms innovate the way so why not get a plate?

They call me the Mushroom Man

(Why?)

Cos I big up the Mushroom Gang

(That's right)

They call me the Mushroom Man

(But I)

Ain't gon take up much room fam

They call me the Mushroom Man

(Why?)

Cos I big up the Mushroom Gang

(That's right)

They call me the Mushroom Man

(But I)

Ain't gon take up much room fam

Cos it aint about me

Wanna speak for those lil guys that hang by the trees

Who put in that work just so we can be

They do it for the love aint talking conditionally

Turkey tail, Reiki have you in medicinal tea

Chestnut, shiitake - tell me what's it gon be?

Portabello - whata fellow

Mushrooms, mushrooms, oh how I love you

Show us. We can learn so much from you

Mushrooms! Can't nobody touch you.

Don't wanna touch you til I know how to pluck you right

Until then I'ma buy premium

Even if it affects my weekly sum

Just tryna connect: Mycelium

The tides of my mind went sky high like Poseidon

The last time I went to try psilocybin

This heaven's sent medicine so eloquently represents

The intelligence of the elements

It's evident we need to recompense for the development of Mankind

As I recollect, didn't get to learn much about in school

Preferred to be that fun guy

Guess it's a testament to all of y'all

Watch us break it down like fungi

(Breakdown)

They call me the Mushroom Man

They call me the Mushroom Man

Cos I speak to Mushrooms, damn

Cos I speak to Mushrooms, damn

Welcome to the Wood Wide Web

An interconnected complex network similar to your internet

Down here we have more connections in one square foot

Than you have neurones in your head

Under these beams of stored ancient light you call trees you may find us at peace

If trees our the lungs of our planet then we are the arteries

Breaking down matter so you can breathe

Without us they'll be no cheese, no chocolate, no bread, no beer, no wine, no penicillin

No forests and without forests they'll be no oxygen

And without oxygen they'll be no life as we know it.

So please look after us

We don't ask for much

All that we ask is that you replenish after you touch

You may be surprised by how much we're alike

Half our genes are the same

Oneness is encoded in our dna

So don't think of yourself as separate

You know they say a being who plants a tree

And does not expect to feel its shade has understood the meaning of life.

So we will leave you with this

What seeds will you leave for future generations?

May the spores be with you
