My country tis of thee
Sweet land of pork and beans
Of thee I sing…
Land where my fathers died
From all that chicken fried
From every countryside
Let freedom ring…..




They say it’s violence that’s killing America’s people
Heart disease and diabetes is the real consistent
Impending sequel
Somehow I seem to see through,
The veil
People don’t want to own it
They just stick with the obvious details.

Somehow we’ve derailed from the truth
People are assassinating themselves
No need for John Wilkes Booth.
I root….
For the cause but also
See things from an objective perspective
All these obese individuals in America…

We need to make changes and I mean
As a collective….
Unit,
Pursuant to a severe degree of urgency
We over do it,
Go through it
Then cry emergency

(Pause)

Excess fat back, pig feet, and chitlins
Burger King, Micky Dees, Wendy’s
Just a tidbit sickenin’

We sittin’ in our kitchens
Frying everything we can
Call it southern cooking but
Expanding like rubber-bands
And….
We don’t stop until we’re knocked out
On the floor
Excess country
So use to the concept
Of “gimme more”

I implore us to ensure that our children
Are not left as orphans
Especially since we like sugar coating everything
And excreting fib endorphins

We’ve been subtly endorsing
This negative gluttonous behavior
Until we find ourselves in danger

Myself included…..

Let’s not…

Dig ourselves into an early grave
And pave
The way for our children to follow
Cause when they’re sick
What other tomorrow can we borrow?
