Earth
Lil Dicky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What up, world? It's your boy, just one of the guys down here
Well, I could be more specific
Uh, I'm a human, and I just wanted to, you know
For the sake of all of us earthlings out there
Just wanted to say:

We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home

Hi, I'm a baboon
I'm like a man, just less advanced and my anus is huge

Hey, I'm a zebra
No one knows what I do, but I look pretty cool
Am I white or black?

I'm a lion cub, and I'm always getting licked (Meow!)

How's it going? I'm a cow (Moo!)
You drink milk from my tits (Moo)

I'm a fat, fucking pig

I'm a common fungus

I'm a disgruntled skunk, shoot you out my butthole

I'm a marijuana plant, I can get you fucked up

And I'm Kanye West

We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth, it is our planet
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth

Ba-dum-da-dum-dum, ba-dum-da-di
We are the vultures, feed on the dead

We're just some rhinos, horny as heck

I'm just a giraffe, what's with this neck?

Hippity-hop, I'm a kangaroo
I hop all day, up and down with you

I'm an elephant, I got junk in my trunk

What the fuck? I'm a clam!

I'm a wolf. Howl!

I'm a squirrel, lookin' for my next nut

And I'm a pony, just a freak horse, heh-heh-heh
But, uh, c'mon, get on (Yah)
Giddee-up, let's ride

I'm HPV, don't let me in

I'm a koala and I sleep all the time
So what? It's cute

We love you, India

We love you, Africa

We love the Chinese

We forgive you, Germany

Earth, it is our planet (It's so tiny)
We love the Earth (We love the Earth), it is our home (Home)
We love the Earth, it is our planet (It is our planet)
We love the Earth, it is our home
We love the Earth

I'm a man (Hello?)
Can you hear me? (Anyone out there? Hello?)
I've trudged the Earth for so damn long
And still don't know shit (What's going on?)
I hope it's not a simulation (Huh)
Give each other names like Ahmed and Pedro
And, yeah, we like to wear clothes, girls still look beautiful
And it covers up our human dick (Woo), eat a lot of tuna fish
But these days, it's like we don't know how to act
All these shootings, pollution, we under attack on ourselves
Like, let's all just chill (Hey), respect what we built (Hey)
Like look at the internet! It's cracking as hell
Fellas, don't you love to cum when you have sex? (Ayy)
And I heard women orgasms are better than a dick's (Uh)
So what we got this land for? What we gotta stand for?
Love, and we love the Earth (The Earth)

Oh, yeah, baby, I love the Earth
I love this planet

Hey, Russia, we're cool
Hey, Asia, all of you, c'mon
Every one of you from the plains to the Sahara
Let's come together and live

Hum-dum-dum-dae-dum, hum-dum-dum-dae-dum

우-우-우리는 지구를 사랑해요

Amamos la tierra

我们爱地球

(We love you, we love you)
C'mon everybody, I know we're not all the same
But we're living on the same Earth (We love you, we love you)
Have you ever been to Earth?
Everyone who is listening has been to Earth, Ariana (We love you, we love you)
We're not making music for aliens here
Are we gonna die?
You know what, Bieber? We might die (We love you, we love you)
I'm not going to lie to you
I mean, there's so many people out here who don't think Global Warming's a real thing
You know? We gotta save this planet




We're being stupid
Unless we get our shit together now

@Lubloczek

Everything about this song is so loveable, both ironically and unironically.
- The instrumental
- The vocals
- The melody
- The animation and artstyle
- The message ofc
- The number of artists involved
- The lyrics being so vulgar, yet the swear words having no negativity in them
- The way the entire video slowly gets more and more blursed as the song progresses
- Kanye West suddenly appearing for no reason...
- ...and he isn't even voiced by Kanye West
- Snoop Dogg voicing marijuana
- So many people have voicelines like Lil Jon's "What the f*ck? I'm a clam!" as literally their only voicelines in the song
- The mere fact that for some reason the song was accused of sounding like "a theme to a downmarket Disney clone made explicitly to launder money for an offshore criminal enterprise". Bruh.
