Immortal Technique - Beef & Broccoli lyrics

rate me

look, let me make something

abundantly clear for people

who are so bereft of activities

they feel like they gotta comment on mine.

first of all being a vegetarian should

never be associated with being

a revolutionary or being open-minded.

that's a dietary choice.

if someone wants to proliferate the

type of ignorance we're supposed to

be fighting by thinking that,

you're just fucking yourself.

i don't go around promoting

beef and poetry shoving it in

people's faces.

i don't castigate people for not

eating steak sandwiches;

and i would never diss someone

for being a fucking broccoli-head,

or living off of radishes,

or eating grass or tofu.

i like a lot of vegan cuisine.

but the illogicality of expecting

everyone to adopt their particular

idea of what being healthy is

is just preposterous.

i've seen some of you herbivores;

and if you want to argue health,

y'all need to eat some kind of supplement

because some of y'all are so skinny

that it's disgusting; looking like the

only hip-hop motherfuckers on schindler's list.

being a malnutrition-ass got nothing to do

with being revolutionary or being on-point.

i'll be damned if i let somebody else push

their agenda on me. you know i don't eat pork,

not because i'm a muslim, i just don't

really like it, but i really will

fuck a bird up. and fish is good

when that shit is fresh. it's like my nigga

_____ from ______. if you don't like

the smell of burning meat, well then get

the fuck off the planet. you know i don't

criticize people for eating moss,

then don't open your fucking mouth

about my food, man. i like beef

and broccoli motherfucker. mind

your god-damn business. matter of fact...

you know what? i'm out. i feel like some

arroco pollo, a banana daiquiri, and

a motherfucking bistec aponado.
