The Ultimate Vegan Rap Guide

[Verse]
Get that oatmeal and put it in my bowl please and it’s
This Southern hick beat I’m gonna get down real quick, see I…
Get that chili, my special combination I’m making and then I plate it and then I a-a-ate it
Yo, pasta every once in a while now
Sometimes I gotta slow down and tell ya how to do it with that raw veg to keep you nice and slender and taut for when you go out
Now I tell ya, a little fruit, there you go
You don’t need a dead body to eat to treat yourself
Now fuel yourself right
Now do it right, every day
Put that Manna bread on there, make sure it’s sprouted or maybe sourdough, in Illinois you got it going on and you can get it good
Or try another one that’s whole grain
Gotta be specific, here we go
And it’s good for the heart, mind, body and soul
And I’m going on down the road just like I told you I would, I told you so
Stuff it in your pie-hole, but make sure it’s fresh from nature
A plant
Only plant, oh my god, damn it’s good, damn it’s grand
Alex man back again in your ass
Strumming that
Coming back with drums? Nah, I don’t need that and
We’re gonna go on and on
I will not fumble ‘cause I’m the best at this
Hear me, I’m abreast at all the topics
And the guitar picks
Check out my pic, it’s lovely
Now back to the subject of eating now and I’m not preaching
I’m just telling you the things that will make you decent
Whole plants
Nothing but whole plants, get the rest out
No oil, repeat it again, no oil
Stuff that comes from the soil
Get a B12
And do not be in hell
Don’t eat what is squirted out of an animal’s behind
Need I remind you? Nah, you got it
And I trust in you and I got the faith and I believe
Be relieved yeah please, it’s me
And I think you get the gist, you know what I’m saying
The v-word
And I don’t even need to say it in this day and age
I play with these pages oh yeah
And it feels so nice, rejuvenation, my therapy, on the rap, going on and on
Such a lovely spot
I will not end until I make sure everything is nice around me, in the universe spiritually
My whole aura and essence is blessings
And oh my goodness, something new and different I haven’t done before
And it’s actually one and fun, one with y’all
And as we get close to the end to peace out, I must say, goodness gracious, what a lovely time we had, bye
Mm, now I’m not done, I gotta say one more thing
Put the potatoes with the tomatoes, uh
And the beans, legumes, legumes
Gotta say it twice ‘cause it’s so damn raucous and awesome when I rock this
Ah yeah, I think you got it, uh huh

Eat Right

Includes music and lyrics from the Plain White T's song "Hey There Delilah." 

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Don’t want to lose this
What's it like in San Jose there?
I'm a thousand miles away, but girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Them chicks can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true
Don’t want to lose this
Ain’t no thing about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise, I'm by your side

[Chorus]
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me

[Verse 2]
Don’t want to lose this
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl, someday I'll pay the bills as you spit hard
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would, my word is good
Don’t want to lose this
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even make you fall in love with me, as I emcee

[Chorus]
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me

[Verse 3]
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our peeps would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because
We know that none of them have felt this way
Hey girl, I can promise you that by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same, and you're to blame
Don’t want to lose this
You be good and don't forget me
Two more years and you'll be famous, true
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Don’t want to lose this
Here's to you
This one's for you

[Chorus]
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Woh-oh, woh-oh…

[Verse 4]
I’m so enthralled by you
First time I saw you, was in awe of you
And your bars can set the bar for schools of rhyme
I have no time to be infatuated
But your raps are sacred
And attractive
You can capture nations’ imaginations
Little sis I almost had but she was taken
You’re my inspiration
Yesterday you had some trouble
Someday maybe you can make sure it never happens again
The rap game needs you
I’ll stop bleeding my feelings to you
Just promise to me that you will eat right and be nice and not be no silly girl
‘cause there’s something in the way you work your pen and mouth
I feel like I am on a cloud, sleeping, dreaming, fantasizing
But these things don’t happen I think
I’ve pinched myself into reality
I’m stoic Alex D
But look what you have done
I have moved on so
So do you, lil hun
And go on growing as an artist
Because you’re the hottest
Don’t let yourself get lost, kid
Ok?

[Chorus]
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
It’s what you do to me

"My Philosophy" (BDP Cover)

Lyrics: 

I know you don’t know what’s going on, or know none, or think it’s all wrong

It’s all been meant to be all along

Divine’s not confined to one’s conscience, but in all life and around it

Say, cred can’t be fully understood, trust—it will resolve this

Submitting to the evil and fake's death

Right resistance will keep you uplifted, feels bit jilted

We’ll get Bliss, but worse as possible first so that it stays good

Humans will turn rightfully Herbivore, starch-based Herbivore

When? I aren’t, ain’t sure or know

Sacred’s on it

But certainly after calamity, tragedy, catastrophe, all the above yes…

And at the brink of extinction from near self-extermination

Our numbers might go down in the short run

Though that’s what Thy Soul wants

In the long term in a long time, it will all make sense, just like Common said that one time

So what Sailesh says: double Galileo moment shine once upon thine head

Vegan in deed and no more needless capitalist elitism leading

Emerge From The Chrysalis

[Rushten]
Ah, there’s nothing like a nice big potluck after a hard month of work. I only wish I had some young tender boys here I could have fun with

[Sally]
Rushten, what do you mean?

[Rushten]
(*clears throat*)

[Jenerica]
Oh, Sally, ya gotta try this cheesecake pizza Rushten made. It’s yummy

[Sally]
(*nervous laugh*) Maybe later

[Georgeanne]
I still think Hōl should get into the food service business. Maybe a little gourmet pastry line. I think ladies would love it, guys too

[Añala]
(*laugh*) That would be great. I love sweets. (*laugh*) Rushten, what do you think?

[Rushten]
Well, ya see, I could do all that myself for this place. Ya see I don’t have anything better to do when I go home. Besides, Hōl would just be making more work for people that way

[Georgeanne]
Rushten, look who’s talking. That’s the story of your life though, isn’t it?

[Rushten]
(*clears throat*)

[Sally]
Is everything alright, Rushten?

[Rushten]
That was a mouth-fart. And I’m trying to send you the subtle message that I hate everything. (*pause*) I like to clear my throat. (*long pause*) Somebody, hold me, I don’t want to work

[Añala]
It’s okay, Rushten. Just shove some more of this junky shit down your cake-hole

[Gitjreela]
Yeah, Rushten, good pizza. You’re good at making this food

[Georgeanne]
Reela, I heard you had a rough last few days. Are you feeling all better?

[Gitjreela]
Oh yes, much better

[Georgeanne]
Hm, I’m glad to hear it. Ya know, you look great eating all this stuff here, very cute. I could be a friend to you

[Gitjreela]
Oh, thank you. Thank you

[Georgeanne]
(*sigh*)

[Jenerica]
Hey Georgeanne, we’re gonna have some cigars later. Do you want one?

[Georgeanne]
I’d love a big black dick in my mouth

[Jenerica]
Heh, ok, whatever. Mandeleine, what brings you here?

[Mandeleine]
This is Lance, everyone, the new hire. He’ll be training the rest of the day

[Jenerica]
Hey, Lance. Ready to get started? We’re always glad to have fresh young pups like you come onboard

[Lance]
Listen here, see. I’m the new kid on the block, see, but you better treat me with some respect, see, or else there’s gonna be trouble, see

[Mandeleine]
Lance comes highly recommended. He’ll be great. I’m headed back to corporate, but not before I take some of these cookies. These are crack to me. Cocaine cookies

[Georgeanne]
Have some food, Lance. You’ll be just like the gang in no time

[Añala]
(*laugh*) And then see me in my office when you’re done, Lance, to take care of some stuff before you get started. There’s some other kinds of pot luck we should pin down first if you know what I mean. (*laugh*)

[Lance]
Hm, yeah, let me see, yeah, I think I can do that, see, yeah. Mmm

Skit: Shitty Potluck at the Hole

What’s up, everyone
Got a meal here right in front of ya
And I’m gonna eat this, and I wanna tell ya about it so you can share this experience with me
We got these potatoes mashed with love, fantastic stuff
And I got this grain mix, beautiful boiled, soaked beforehand, and ya know why? Increased digestibility, so it goes through me easily
And here we go
Bursting with flavors ‘cause it’s got that lentil stew mix with the spice hitting it
And it’s got a good chew in the greens, some cruciferous is what I mean
Got a brussels sprout, enough veg to get the nutrients to the mix, the good ratio
Hit it with the iodized salt ‘cause you need the iodine, it’s what you want
Sprinkled peanut with the texture and all
And the waves of the taste sensations, it’s just playing throughout my tongue and lips
It’s such a great orgasmic culinary experience
As I relate to you how wonderfully blissful it is to be right here eating this
Smooth, it’s a chili of sorts
And the mood that it gets me in of course is gorgeous
This time had some bell pepper diced up sprinkled all up onto that bean stew before I mixed it into little containers
Hit it up as I do to save it, as in batch cooking to save the time
Make it divine
Naked food so as to not be blind to the true beauty of nature’s bounty in food
And it surrounds me smooth
Making sure to chew, to masticate
Eating this is so good, it’s like ejaculate
See this bean stew I make that I drench in potatoes and rice has been cooking for so long the anti nutrients are gone, out of sight
It’s out of sight
Putting the fork down to be grateful of what you’ve been given to put up in your mouth
And now here we go
It’s such a blessing to be eating what’s on this plate in question
Now, after eight hours of just doing the, not a fast, but only eating some radishes and a banana, oh yeah
And you know what, got a chili and whatever else, give it that kick, it’s what I felt
So have a great day and good feast to ya

Feat Right on the Feast Side

Hello, everyone, I got some food in front of me
I’m gonna eat it, I’ma gonna tell you about it
So it’s a mix, potatoes and the beans and the grains altogether for your brain, for your body, it’s pure pleasure
Here we go
Smooth but a good chew
The flavors are hitting me
Sensation, it’s wickedly awesome ‘cause of the spice I put
Packed with the nutrient punch with the greens on this lunch, with love
It gives me all I need
Iodized salt so the thyroid is pleased
And then I put my fork down to behold how gorgeous it looks and sounds
And man, the pellets of the grains
Pleasure all throughout my brain
So many feelings into me intimately
And this came off of eight hours with only a radish or two and a banana and at work
So if I can do it, you can do it
Not an animal food in sight
After this, the B12, the D, omega 3, alright
And you wanna take your time with it
Don’t play around with it, but just be grateful
The sights, the smells, tastes, experience as I lean in
And this is gorgeous, and I know this
So for five years eating this way, and boy oh boy it didn’t lead me astray
Pleased to say the least I’d say
Orgasmic, ejaculate in the eating form of that shit
Pure pleasure and it’s not boring
With effects, positive effects that…
Man, just listen to me, they last long after I’m done eating this shit, oh yeah
You can too and I encourage it
‘cause what I’m eating right now is pure gorgeousness
What else to say, overwhelmed by the gastronomic wonderfulness of this
As I pass it on through the raps that I’m spitting
Lunch with a friend, done
Tell ya how it is, it’s love and fun
Probably never heard this before, rapping while eating, but only from me, rap king herbivore
Man, if you need an Impossible Burger to get you started on the path, go ahead, I won’t laugh
I used to do that too, but then I went whole food
And the ultra-processed, it’s no good
Oil? No way, forget about it
And after this, B12, D and omega 3, how about it?
They say don’t talk with your food in your mouth
I’ll make an exception this time for ya, uh huh, let’s do it
Not too much longer, but when you eat this stuff, you’ll be stronger
Cliched rhyme right there
I say I’m pleased with what’s on my plate right here, yeah
Thank you, good eating to ya, peace out

Feat Right on the Feast 2ide

(samples "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones and "Real Love" by The Beatles)

Back before Eminem was Slim Shady
This is how the kids would get crazy
After Kool Herc made the first loops out of breakbeats from the vinyl
Then Bam and Flash hit those park jams, it was so exciting
Inciting emcees to come and riff along
Even dancers and the taggers would get it on
See they’d have been fighting, gangbanging
Instead they’re hanging, slanging phrases to great hits
Amidst the creativity, it demonstrated how to get down without the help of paperchasers
Until the major players did come around
It was at this point that the game had caught the industry bug, to get plugged
As it was, over the next twenty to thirty years
There was some copying but still lyrics in your ear
Seems 2015 to 2020, real hip-hop went underground and left the city, pity
I reminisce over Cold Crush, Treacherous Three, Spoonie Gee
Busy Bee, BDP, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC, Juice Crew
Right there is no exhaustive list
All the old emcees taught me this, precious
Now I only support those with merit
Who’s got the MPC like Dilla on some tear shit?
Who knows how to scare parents ’til their hairs split at their ends?
I wouldn’t be here without the old school
So I thought it only fitting to make an ode to you and include some new dudes that I just met
Oracle, Cap Jones on some tough shit
Holy Ghost, Shaya Rhymes on some other shit
Evolucian, DayEXSO, that’s some across the pond ish
To be honest maybe the rest don’t show love to me
‘cause they don’t want to feel like they owe stuff to me
But look, you paid me back and then some
‘cause you used your true gifts and did something
And not something like work for a corporation
I’m talking making some fresh soul exploration

Rap For[med] Me (RealLate)

(interpolates lyrics written by Illogic and Lucid Optics and samples music produced by Lucid Optics)

[Hook]
What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

[Verse 1]
Moving, moving, moving monolithic often has its perks for what it’s worth
A martyr’s vision has ‘em enlisted from birth if we listen to the chirps of the birds singing when morning comes
It’s inevitable to hold hands with dreams even if it seems the plan isn’t working
We keep working, stay in the light, no one’s perfect, stay in the fight and find purpose
Knowing your call is enveloped is relevant to your journey and development
Any can tell if a smile is fake, if shoulders can hold the weight, but do what you do
It's all up to you, you, I seem to enjoy the view
Resting on a ledge of blessings, my hedge of protection askew
Dove into a sea of sound where I finally found a clue
Gotta hold my own, my home needs me, I’m grown
Here to nurture and water my own seedlings and keep breathing
Watching my harvest bloom inside of the darkest room
Like I got points to prove and I’m not running

[Hook]
What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

[Verse 2]
You can’t hide, run all you like
And wonder why parts of yourself are on the sideline
And you don’t feel whole
Any more than a single particle of stardust in the bargain knoll of Milky Way space, silky gray faces walk this place displaced and aimless
They were looking for an easy way out
Easy way out, easy way out
They were looking for an easy way out of malarky
But fell deeper into the patriarchy, starting to call their own for shark feed
The bark bleeds starkly, the green earth is darkening
We kill billions, still eight hundred mil starving
Rearrange what’s important, all one orchid in the orbiting orchard

[Hook]
What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

What are you running from?
Don’t wait for tomorrow
In this world, there’s only one of you
The sun doesn’t follow

"Morning Come" (Lucid Logic cover)

Eat Right G-Side

[Verse 1]
I just got a new method
Doing something that's better than the usual thing
When anxiety strikes, you use your lungs
Noticing how the space is filled up
Today is better than yesterday
And yesterday not as much as just this day, day one
Science says… wait a minute, you already know
I won’t let you know, you know where I’m headed toward
Head explodes, and the pen will flow
Not another, no, give one lesson more, there you go
 
[Chorus]
Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
‘cause even chimps have more advanced cognition

Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
‘cause even chimps have way more advanced cognition

[Verse 2]
I’ve had websites ban my shit
But all you’re doing is expanding my shit
For you—embarrassing, sure
Cleaning messes is pleasant as long as I get what I came here for
My aim is to not have a pet
Do you want to be locked up?
I guess that they’re let out once in a while, that’s fine, but zoos are not love
And feed them not junk

[Chorus]
Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
‘cause even chimps have more advanced cognition

Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
‘cause even chimps have more advanced cognition

[Verse 3]
SkyBlew don’t have to cuss in his raps to sell records
But I do, but I like him; do I like you? Eh
So, it’s back to work
Getting the back beat with lashes
He is sick of this so he is taking off
Making his way to the exit to let himself go
So, don’t call me in your office ‘cause I’m not him
I just adiosed
How come you just eat that?
Don’t you know what that does to your person, inside, where you be at?
Let me see that
There, I threw it across the room
Now let me talk to you
You should study up on what food does to you
I think that this is great
This day is the best one ever in my life
I think that I like to live life, and you should too
What do I need to say more?
There you go

[Chorus]
Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
And chimps have more advanced cognition? Shit

Forget it
I’ll have to wait for aliens to get this
‘cause even if you get it, you can’t comprehend it
‘cause even these chimps have way more advanced cognition

The Products Of Respiration

[Verse]
I’m at peace but disappointed
You nibble on joints for pure enjoyment
Animal use will just destroy things
No thing is more insulting
To who? To me? To you? The planet is scorching
Follow me now
I thought this place would be crushed by us, but it will crush us
As for living on other planets, that will not happen
We are too damn stupid, and we mismanage
Distracted by this nasty and slaves to pointless practice
It’s one thing to be taught wrong
Another to never have a profound thought at all for long enough or in the long haul
Let me be clear
Stop eating animal products and then only eat plants in their whole form
Plants only
Eat only plants and plants only
I’m getting damn lonely in this planet of damn phonies
This imbecilic culture is nothing
No arrogance, but if you cared about anything
The globe would probably shift from you carrying it, get it?
Destruction of life anywhere’s destruction of life everywhere
Peace and love, and with that there I’m outta here

Uncomfortably Aware

[Verse]
Now I’m gonna make a song in which I don’t sound mean
Even though that’s why I make my songs
To express how I’m feeling in between being pristine and squeaky clean
This one’s gonna be easy for me
Look inside yourself for all the answers
Please do not ignore me
I used to be ornery
I fought back sleep to give you the full story
But I finished this rap after I took a nap
But let me say this first before I go forward
The human race is done for and extinct because omnivory, brutality and greed
But the one way we can save it is to go back to herbivory
Nonviolence will lead
I’m shivery at the thrill of helping for real, chivalry
Most jobs don’t advance life on earth
Skeptical? You can try me first
To view others in the very best light possible is to view yourself in the very best light possible
Then you’ll become that great, the very best life possible
The media don’t know how to live your life
So swap materialism for minimalism, the best thing to give your life

Nice

[Verse]
I got a new hydraulic system
My whatchamacallit ticking
I find myself getting even and then getting away—Macaulay Culkin syndrome
I’m enjoying life despite the hiccups
Why rhyme except to edify the listener—me
There’s never been a time like now to love the best parts of you and then find the line that I’m proud of and true to
Well to do people need to know that the price of luxury is steep as the peak of the cathedral’s tiptop piece and more
It landed in your lap
That’s why they call it luxury
‘cause it’s the luck you reap
It’s not something deep
And yes, we need to go back to veganism
Or near veganism
Or virtually vegan living
I don’t like that word but I think it describes where we need to be in
If we destroy all sentient life we will end our time
There’s many a fall that ever could come
But one will happen as long as we keep doing what has been done
I’ve found my way but most are still gone astray, in the ashtray
Hand me a Corona
So I can get intoxicated, contaminated and go viral and get over that famed hangover non-vaccinated so my own body maintenance can obliterate this pathological agent away from your A-list matrix

Uncomfortably Aware
