A hand reaches out asking for a bite to eat, you ever been feeling the pain while you're trying to sleep, the land is trying to grow but there's something wrong, man is harvesting more but enough has gone to waste, fraud, and abuse, the truth of the IMF, you get a little bit of money just for trying death, petro, agro, capitalistic, that seed will only grow if you got money to spritz it with round-up ready, or ain't no seed sowing, years later now we wonder where the bees going, G-M-O, we got a mono crop food system, man we dying just to get some nutrition, look, corporations aim to make us think we need a store, when mama nature gives us all we'd ever what and more, a billion people tonight who should be eating more, dog they just trying to feed the war not the poor (Chorus) We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, dig in the earth for our groceries, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed (x2) Walking through the hood seeing all the vacant lots, up in my head thinking we should scheme to make a plot, grow a crop for the block, we'll be full soon, now the little kiddies doing good in the school room, a hand reaches out asking you to show him how he can touch the earth so that he can feed his people now, take his hands out the cuffs, put'em in the ground, steal him back from the Man, get him back to his land, man we fighting it just for the space, right!? to plan a seed so tat we can get a safe bite, food organically grown so it tastes right, now food deserts growing faster than a race stripe, the lake levels getting lower than my waist hieght, world hunger's growing higher than a space flight, a revolution now, growing in their face might be the thing to set the place right for the light (Chorus) We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, dig in the earth for our groceries, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, legalize hemp, decriminalize weed, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed

We're here to ask you where you get your nerve Feeding us monstrosities disguised as food Prosecution is what you deserve To pay back all the farmers you sued You spray Roundup to kill the weeds But the Roundup kills the crops too Back at the lab you change the crops To something that might kill you We don't want no Monsanto We don't want no GMO Don't want no fish tomato We don't want you in control Agent orange, aspartame and astroturf Anniston Creek, a landfill where you hid your dirt DDT, PCBs and seeds that terminate You monopolize and patent our fate You spray Roundup to kill the cocaine But the Roundup kills all kinds of plants And the people of Colombia are poisoned By our government We don't want no Monsanto We don't want no GMO Don't want no fish tomato We don't want you in control Beyond all possible bounds of decency You feed the world disease and lies Then sprinkle it all with Nutrasweet But it don't hide the taste of mass suicide You spray Roundup to kill the weeds But the Roundup kills the crops too Back at the lab you change the crops To something that might kill you We don't want no Monsanto We don't want no GMO Don't want no fish tomato We don't want you in control

Well the streets are about to burst Take me away from here The sky is filled with mechanical birds We've lost all control, I fear. No inflection in this text, every day into the next, a story with no plot... What's the point? I forgot. Take me away from here. The people around here don't care (What's all this mess about?) They don't smile, they don't even stare. (Our time is running out.) Pretty sure I ain't afraid but I'm surrounded by it every day It's become the norm, a perpetual storm Take me away from here. Cuz all I need is good food in my belly and dirt on my feet from a path that leads to a stream There is no such thing as asking for too much, and simple is all I need. The birds on my block have gone tweet tweet tweet tweedle-dee-dee My cellular telephone is always on - it goes Ring ring ring ring-a-ling Always something new to do some great thing I cannot miss but my mind's bent out of shape and my body's a mess Take me away from here Cuz all I need is good food in my belly and dirt on my feet from a path that leads to a stream There ain't no such thing as asking for too much and Simple is all I need Give me a lover who is happy and a good book to read the shade of an oak tree There ain't no such thing as asking for too much and Simple is all I need Simple is all I need!

I had a dream that I ran out of money in a land where it's illegal to be without money the Chinese mafia wanted so badly to kill me and the American Police didn't care to help i know it's hard to believe i'd need a knife up my sleeve even though we believe that I'm only sleeping yet i'm terribly sure i won't wake evermore if someone doesn't transcend the top floor of this troublesome nightmare While the devils on each level raise their voices from rolls royces chanting choices of mandates, tax breaks and topical temptations Namely shapely lady wants a baby ain't she crazy give her gravy on and on in the churches and the circus where the workers purchase worthless paperwork to justify the property they purchased I stood up at the pulpit like a shirtless mermaid versus Listen up lovely little ones we're taking over this service i didn't care about government schemes until i got evil spirit dreams dub c society trying to find me and this is the help police provided me: down on your knees, give us id, your job is bleed and plead mercy with cattle prods it's easy to see who is the man and who is the beast we are all animals/ people are animals children it has always been this /way we are all animals / let's act like animals when the people come / to take our homes / away You only are what you eat if you don’t have a superego lots of people eat like sea gulls but only heathens eat other people in the bible they eat sheep though even though it’s really illegal speak no evil, hear no evil go once a week to a steeple heretic, heretic, he is a heretic, we can't be heretics we are just farmers we want a government who won't disarm us, jesus is lord stop with your dharmas but only one seed will grow where your barn is Jesus believes he told Charles Darwin monkeys can't write in cuneiform, money can't make the monkeys perform for money to monkeys is magic to mormons and money is putting a hex on your corn so if you grow corn or if you eat corn or if you were born this market is cornered you better wake up and conform every morning or they'll put you in cages until you act normal we are all animals/ people are animals children it has always been this /way we are all animals / let's act like animals when the people come / to take our homes / away one third of myself is 100 percent of the part of myself I should spend on the rent and I told you I dreamed that my money was spent at first I was scared and acted all hesitant then something deep in my being took precedence answered the threats of every dead president neighbors are blaming the presence of immigrants everyone's immigrants, who isn't an immigrant Oh good it's him again, die for my sins again i'll be huck finn again you can be Jim again curse about Mexicans praise Jackie Robinson free him he's innocent, make him a citizen! End all this venom the ending is imminent isn't it officer I'm a civilian how many guillotines will we be building for capitol hillbillies murdering child - er - en? You took my love and made a commodity Everyone's holy my holy commodity Don’t it feel odd to be sold as an oddity Do i feel holy? oh lordy I go to be ashes and ashes and dust to dust you better just kill us forget about cuffs Salvation's not something that animals trust we'll drink your blood and that is enough! we are all animals/ people are animals children it has always been this /way we are all animals / let's act like animals when the people come / to take our homes / away track credits:

in the earth silence poison has come hundred eyes, hundred mouths closed and open wide Mirrors of grand desires Hollow fire coming for more. In the sky slow poison has come it grows and grows where land bloomed once Mirrors of grand desires Hollow fire coming for more.

about

This is a mixtape to raise money for Planting Justice, an organization that hires prisoners and people on parole who can help urban dwellers build their own organic garden. Though this is called the Anti-Gmo mix, and though we are Anti-Monsanto, our real nature is to show resilience to Corporations and to be self-sufficient. We also think these songs are ace, so please spread the word and the tunes.
