Immortal Technique - Beef & Broccoli lyrics

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.
