be healthy

dead prez

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

curried 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 veg-e-table with the 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 miner-ules

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

no excederin

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 be 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 be 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
