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 mayatl 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 (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 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 . . .

There's a little more but it's sort of a "rant" and it contains too many profanities to post. :)

Lime Green- use LimeWire in the meantime!  There aren't too many of theirs on there, but I like to get a taste of the other types of songs before I buy an album... just in case I only like one or two songs.

Lime and Lime.  I like it.

Lime + Lime = something good. 

Just not sure what. ;)

I just realized I really like how the word "lime" rolls off the tongue when you say it slowly.
Say it with me now, Liii-me.

i used to have this on my myspace. its a fun song! it was actually in my head the other day at the bus stop.... i wish i could get off the sweets!

They don't have it as an option on their site anymore :(

I wish I could get off the Chicago Diner scones.... I'm addicted.

Edit: you can get the MySpace song not on the "official" Dead Prez site, but another a few people down after you search for them. :D
