Boogie Down Productions - Beef Lyrics
Beef, what a reliefWhen will this poisonous product cease?This is another public service announcementYou can believe it, or you can doubt itLet us begin now with the cowThe way it gets to your plate and howThe cow doesnt grow fast enough for manSo through his greed he makes a faster planHe has drugs to make the cow grow quickerThrough the stress the cow gets sickerTwenty-one different drugs are pumpedInto the cow in one big lumpSo just before it dies, it criesIn the slaughterhouse full of germs and fliesOff with the head, they pack it, drain it, and cart itAnd there it is, in your local supermarketRed and bloody, a corpse, neatly packedAnd you wonder about heart attacks?Come on now man lets be for realYou are what you eat is the way I feelBut, the food and drug administrationWill tell you meat is the perfect combinationSee cows live under fear and stressTrying to think whats gonna happen nextFear and stress can become a part of youIn your cells and blood, this is trueSo when the cow is killed, believe itYou preserve those cells, you freeze itThaw it out with the blood and season itThen you sit down and begin eatin itIn your body, its structure becomes your structureAll the fear and stress of anotherAny drug is addictive by any nameEven drugs in meat, they are the sameThe fda has america strung outOn drugs in beef no doubtSo if you think that what I say is a bunch of crockTell yourself youre gonna try and stopEatin meat and youll see you cant competeIts the number one drug on the streetNot crack, cause that was made for just blackBut brown beef, for all american teethLife brings life and death brings deathKeep on eatin the dead and whats leftAbsolute disease and negativeRead the book how to eat to liveBy elijah muhammad, its a brown paperbackFor anybody, either white or blackSee how many cows must be pumped up fatterHow many rats gotta fall in the batterHow many chickens that eat shit you eatHow much high blood pressure you get from pig feetSee youll consume, the fda could care lessTheyll sell you donkey meat and say itsFresh! for nineteen-ninety, you suckers
