[natural blacks]

sticks and stones may break ur bones
but dead meat is a killa to yuh strukcha!
how do u feel... within urself
knowing that young hen, is within ur self?
LIFE's joy ini i-serve
sippin upfully what has been provided by EARTH
the vegetarian diet i cannot see
but RASTA livity, di natural real!
suh a weh dem a talk bout "diet"?
afta i-man nuh ready fi die yet
mi i-llaloo spice wid eart' food
sour sop juice, one and two small fruit
more time all grater haffi put to use
caah a dreadnut juice, and blenda i-man nuh use


gimmi mi water str8 from di spring
V8 splash and red bull neva fit fi KINGS
more time a jus di i-tral sip
2, 3 month, rasta dash weh di spice up ting
kill pot... kitchen... & cook food iyah
ancient trod, di order is di eat of di real congo nyah!
fruit from di tree, wat a joy it bring
nat'ral i-llaloo leaves, ini nah badda wid di cooking
coconat gratered pon mi pak choi,
carrot, corn and okra inna di blend.
mi si manish wata kill di rammie,
now di kid dem family structure get dent
heartless cannibal, bloody diet,
ini seh all meat eater fi heng!
