loer velocity - hood diet (clean) lyrics

loer velocity ft. donnan links – “hood diet”
[emcee(s): donnan links and loer velocity]
[producer(s): donnan links]

[intro: sample from season 6 episode 17 of good times (1974-1979) – “where have all the doctor’s gone?”]
dr. kelly: good health is priceless. it’s no wonder so many black people are suffering from high blood pressure. you people are k!lling yourselves gobbling down fatback, ham hocks, pigs’ feet
florid evans: you may not know it, but there’s been a shortage of caviar in the ghetto. we buy what is cheapest. now you may be talking health, but, in this neighborhood, we’re talking survival

[verse 1: donnan links]
aight. the new
millennium came. i stopped touching beef
so when i step off the c at franklin and fulton street
i’m still a starving artist, so, regardless
i got to partake if there’s only bullsh-t to eat
steamed salmon sound fly. this j-panese
spot [?] i went to crown fried
‘cause, for around five, i’ll get the special
chicken sandwich, cream soda, and a mound of fries
and my stomach didn’t want it. there’s healthier
places, but where i stay is always too far from it
i’m burning up my ones eating out, but these hood
grocery stores switching up dates, selling meats they should have
sold before. and, chinese takeout, it’s hard
to make me eat. three dollars for a whole chicken that’s
grade b meat. [?]
[?] greasy but cheap
we’re targeted to make this food move. the golden
arches want their employees rocking sean john and fubu
it’s like this imitation food was meant for we
on the lighter side of things, i couldn’t find a kennedy’s
but in the blocks and liquor stores and churches
fast food’s a waste of time. bad service and an
extended wait in line. the male seems lifeless
yesterday’s food at next week’s prices

[hook: donnan links and loer velocity]
it’s
the hood
diet (you can’t but be on it). i know it look
good, but don’t
try it (‘cause it’s sweeping the projects). you’ll get
lots of headaches, upset stomach, and
high cholesterol. you might vomit on a
hood
diet (did you)
(die yet? die yet? die yet? die yet?)
(die yet?)

[verse 2: loer velocity]
hot peas and b-tter cholesterol-smothered
ten-percent juices artificially colored
monday, wednesday, and friday night takeout
the neighborhood mcdonald’s is the poor man’s steakhouse
chicken fried crown just a few doors down and give
your small intestinal lining a frown
i’ve been there before and i’ll probably go again ‘cause
it’s right here in the hood—choices are few and slim
bullsh-t by the busload. children bought a bunch
parks and recreation, freedom note fills lunch
between entenmann berry snacks and little debbies
i’m only eating veggies in my chinese food, and there’s
one on every corner, so i’m filling my quota
msg, fried food, and grape soda
i’m k!lling me with this sh-t and, what’s worse, i’ll buy it
living off this so-high-blood-pressure diet
just can’t be right. white castle’s is champ tonight
beating on my insides like it was samsonite
survival. i’m liable to catch some ulcers
sipping on these tropical fantasy mimosas
a fabulously ghetto shortage of nutrition
on my block, the farmers’ markets missing
they don’t come up in the hood and that sh-t’s deaded
that’s why i be racking up this corner store credit

[hook (overlapped with outro): donnan links and loer velocity]
it’s
the hood
diet (you can’t but be on it). i know it look
good, but don’t
try it (‘cause it’s sweeping the projects). you’ll get
lots of headaches, upset stomach, and
high cholesterol. you might vomit on a
hood
diet (did you)
(die yet? die yet? die yet? die yet?)
(die yet?)

[outro (overlapped with hook): donnan links]
yeah, we’re still here. and this is a special dedication for you corner-cutting grocery stores in my hood. nah, nah, i’ma name names. [?], met, key foods, and [?]. y’all better step your game up too. later
