S.A.D

You can do a lot of things in this world, but you can’t do it without a sound body and mind

[Verse 1]
Diabetes, hypertension
High cholesterol and other things I could mention
They the symptoms of a system that is far from organic
Rather eat from a can than feast from what was planted
The planet granted what we needed to live
Then we created civilizations to stay in the crib
And never look at nature, as a consequence
Then we developed our sense of what shopping is
Rather than time on the farm, we be swiping the card
The convenience of getting back to a night on the job
Is fast food while we ride in the car
Nobody asked who butchered this meat or where they got it at all
Drinking the milk of a cow and they never drank ours
Then we look like a cow, we ain’t gotta think hard
It ain’t fat-shaming, a make-you-hate-your-waist song
A make-you-think song, next time you get your food and drink on
C'mon

[Chorus]
And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are

And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are

[Verse 2]
See if you don’t think the advertisers’ll think for you
And make all you crave the junk that they push on you
You walk in the store, you better have an agenda
The good food is on the sides, the BS in the center
They put it on the shelf with the chemicals to keep it
High fructose corn syrup and MSG it
Food Inc is a movie you really need to see it
I recently saw What The Health and cut back the meat, kid
I lost pounds not tryin’, I’m not lyin’
Inspired to get back to my African diet
I mean why if we not slaves do we eat like it?
They put death in a jar, you telling me we’d buy it?
Meanwhile, doctors are quiet and what for?
Could it be the money that’s in the treatment and not the cure?
Drink lots of water, your body’s designed of water
You got the keys to the kingdom, unlock the door, bruh

[Chorus]
And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are

And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are

[Verse 3]
Now I ain’t judging none of y’all, I wrestle with fighting weight
They say you are what you eat so sometimes I’m a slice of cake
Guess I’m easy like Sunday morning
Or eating a sundae with some fudge laid on it
It sounds good ’til you think about pulling needles out
Then stick it in for insulin ‘cause you need it now
My Grandmama lost both legs, stuck in the bed
Addicted to soda loaded with sugar, put her on meds
What’s in our heads that we wanna smoke cigarettes
Though we know it’s responsible for so many deaths
A animal will see smoke and run
A human’ll see smoke and run to open up its lungs
Then open up a lunch that was made in a lab
Standard American Diet, they even naming it SAD
I ain’t shaming the fat, I’m just stating the facts
Want you to live a long life, that’s why I’m making this track

[Chorus]
And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are

And that’s sad
You take my life
You take my life from me
Because you are what you eat and you eat what you are
