"Mother Nature" is a single by rapper Papoose. The track features Razah, was produced by DJ Kay Slay and was first aired by radio station Hot 97. The track is a tribute to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The verses produce the scene of

destroyed families and troops that are sent to make the survivors leave their decimated homes in crowded hot buses. However, Papoose states that the government is wrong in sending the troops because they would rather stay than to leave. In addition, Papoose mentions that president George W. Bush came to visit the wreckage with his dogs. He said that the president did not show any compassion toward the people and accused Mr. Bush of "indirectly calling the black survivors as dogs." Papoose raps about the need to donate blood (in a metaphoric sense), time and money to help the victims. The chorus is sung by Razah who covers Tupac Shakur's song, "Keep Ya Head Up." It also samples "I Want Muscles" performed by Diana Ross in 1982.
