Lyrics:


Song by Mike Adams, with spoken lines from
Jeffrey Smith

I'm lookin at the food that's in the grocery store
They say it's safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don't really know if it's made with those GMOs

So I'm lookin for the non-GMO label 'fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it's verified so I don't
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don't want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They're gonna hurt us we know
It's time we told 'em to go, say GMO NO!

I don't want eat poison, I don't want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it's a food abomination what they doin' to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they're spreadin' their lies
Monsanto destroyin' farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it's safe even though they all know it's just
poison stealing away your life, and that's what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that's a corporate myth
if you don't believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He's the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It's a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don't wanna live genetically modified

Don't eat food unless you know what's in it
Don't believe the propaganda cuz the press will spin it
Affects everybody, we all up in it
Stand up to Monsanto, tell 'em oh no you didn't

Reject Frankenfoods in the store
demand honest labels so we can be informed
We have a natural right to know
What we buyin' Just say no to GMO

Before our farms start dyin'
Just say no to GMO

Those corporate crooks are lyin'
Just say no to GMO

This time we're not complyin'
Just say no to GMO

We're just not buyin' it
Just say no to GMO

I don't care for rap

I don't understand how somebody who loves music as much as someone like you can dismiss an entire genre of music.

Didn't we agree on the other thread that Subterranean Homesick Blues was the first rap song :confused:

Anyway, here's another similar song I like:

YouTube - Dead Prez - Be Healthy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f5Xk-pZ8r4)

Lyrics:


Be Healthy lyrics
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 youth
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 takin' 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


Peace

Yes, but I meant more specifically modern rap. In the early days before it became trendy, it was an offshoot of blues/R&B. Back then, it was cool shit. :cool:

Check out John Lee Hooker, one of the founders of boogie, and prototype for rappers (he was one badass MoFo :cool:)-
