In this case, “Green” primarily refers to weed and money, though the meaning changes later on in the song.
The first verse is a one-sided conversation between Quasimoto and an unidentified person about the pursuit of green in an urban community, while the second verse illuminates the listener to Madlib’s own alternative definition for the word.
“Green Power” could represent two things – the power of money (to control people) or the power of weed (to put someone under the influence). In “Astro Black” (the song before “Green Power” on The Unseen), there is a sample where a man talks about “green power” – the definition was the power of money. However, on Yessir Whatever, the previous song is Sparkdala. Make of that what you will.
