Dead prez - Be Healthy ​ lyrics

It's all love

I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets
Only ripe vegetables
Fresh fruit and whole wheat
I'm from the old school, my
Household smell like soul food, bro
Curry falafel, barbecued tofu
No fish though, no candy bars, no cigarettes
Only ganja and fresh-squeezed
Juice from oranges
Exercising daily to stay healthy
And I rarely drink water out the tap
Cause it's filthy

Lentil soup is mental fruit
And ginger root is good for the yout'
Fresh vegetable with dem ital stew
Sweet yam fries with the green calalloo
Careful how you season and prepare your foods
Cause you don't wanna lose
Vitamins and minerals and that's the jewel
Life brings life, it's valuable
So I eat what comes from the ground
It's natural
Let your food be your medicine (uh huh)
No Excederin (uh uh)
Strictly herb, generate in the sun
Cause I got melanin
And drink water, eight glasses a day
'Cause that's what they say

They say you are what you eat
So I strive to eat healthy
My goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
Cause true wealth comes from good health
And wise ways we got to start taking
Better care of ourselves
They say you are what you eat
So I strive to eat healthy
My goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
Cause true wealth comes from good health
And wise ways we got to start taking
Better care of ourselves, be
Healthy y'all

Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold the fuck up, yo
We'll take this little intermission
Listen what the fuck we gotta say, y'know?
Word is bond son, niggas been
Livin foul for too long, knowamsayin?
Smokin bogeys
Fuckin drinkin all types of shit wailin out
Not givin a fuck what they puttin in they
Bodies, son, knowamsayin?
'Bout time niggas start thinkin
About that shit, son, knowamsayin?
That shit is fuckin, makin us deteriorate
Son word up, we gotta care bout
Our little babies an shit, son
Niggas got kids to raise, straight up
Ya gotta start learnin yo self
Learning bout ya health, son
Learnin this world we live in, kid
Knowamsayin? It's time to start changin'
All that shit god, word up
So I'm gonna leave y'all niggas
On some shit like that, ya knowamean?
Word up, y'all niggas better start usin
Y'all minds an shit, kid
Peace
