Be Healthy - Dead Prez

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
