And I know that not everyone is into this as I am,
But hopefully once in a while,
You’re buyin from organic sources,
Oh sure it may cost just a bit more, but it’s all for
The future of the world and the farms we need
What do you think your children are gonna eat?
When all the food is owned by one company,
Once they’ve patented every single seed?
I’m not making this up, (No he’s not!)
You can look this stuff up (Yes you can)
But don’t pull out your smart phone so soon, (Hold up)
Cant ya wait till the end of the tune?
All those seeds are modified genetically
It’d be nice if we tested them for safety
Before we start ingesting them thrice daily
But this doesn’t seem to be a priority.
Yet I see the seas of disease getting
Deeper and creeping above my knees.
It’s freezing all reason to keep from fleeing but
All I need is whatI‘m eating…
CHORUS
And I’d rather eat it whole
Not refined but natural
The way you find it how it grows
And I’m aware that there are those
Who think that this is so ridiculous,
But I'ma stick with this, there's so much sickness,
We can get through this, but only if
We all can take control.
VERSE 2
If I had the last word, I'd warn you of all the hazards,
But these fat cats have mastered getting laws passed faster
Before the evidence is explored and not after,
So science stays hidden and we’re given a disaster.
But if enough folks can uncover this hoax
We might be able to expose the dangers of GMOs.
And who knows, if we reverse the flow of this trend
It might send them a message, help it come to an end.
So help us all out and read about this stuff
And we might just stand a chance to stand up to the man
Where we can all raise our hands and demand some answers
And when we call their bluff enough they will be peeing in their pantsuits.
Cuz not one study proves this stuff safe
And it pains me to face the fact that we won't be able to trace
Anything back, because the labels will lack
The fact that it’s not actually what it claims to be.
Though it might taste the same to the layman, you see
Don’t you dare say “Amen”, for what you will partake in,
Or thank God for the blessing, because they’re messing with you it’s made in
A laboratory by a human, your dinner’s fake man.
CHORUS 2
And I’d rather eat it whole (Yeah)
Not refined but natural (All Natch)
The way you find it how it grows
And I’m aware that there are those
Who think that this is so ridiculous, (So what?)
But I'ma stick with this, there's so much sickness, (That's right)
We can get through this, but only if
We all can take control
VERSE 3
Question what’s inside what you put inside your body
Quit relying on the liars who are smiling from the money
Fattening up their wallets from the 'processed-food-aholics'
Profits keep 'em from speaking bout their products making all of us
Sick of the stuff and I’m sick of their games
Sick of the frickin fake science and fraudulent claims
I wanna shake it all up, cuz surely there’s no team
Or any kind of machine that’s really keeping food clean.
Cuz I don’t consider it clean with artificial crap in my food
And while I’m rappin at you, please don’t crap in my food,
Ew, cuz that would be rude, but ain't it ruder to exclude
Genetic engineering from the labels of your food?
Say what could he be talking about, how is it I
Never found out that GMO's are all around?
Cuz they don’t make a sound, no, they don’t come to your town
And say, “Listen people, this’ll drop your jaw to the ground!”
Wait till you hear about what's in the food's DNA
If you don’t take action to change, the chain reaction remains
And if we don't demand labels here in the USA
It won't be super powers that we get when we mutate.
CHORUS 3
And I’d rather eat it whole
Not refined but natural
The way you find it how it grows
And I’m aware that there are those
Who think that this is so ridiculous,
But I'ma stick with this, there's so much sickness,
We can get through this, but only when
We all take control
