Metamorphosis Lyrics: Raw

Yeah baby I like it raw...
Oh baby I like it raw...

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yo, shimmy yay,
Give me the mic and I can take it away.
Off on a natural charge it's Homage,
Coming from the Original Medicine squad,
Calgary killa bees at the Ball,
The name I represent is a summons to evolve.

Imagine all life on earth is involved,
Like fish up the beach of evolution we crawl.
And like kids in candy shops I want it all,
And if I didn't get it then, I would sulk.

When one day I was old enough to feel the results,
And saw that my hunger was only withdrawal.
And when I ate a candy bar it felt like chalk,
And fast food wasn't even worth it's salt.

Now I don't mean to criticize like another know-it-all,
To get us up-in-arms with nit-pickity brawls.
I don't trust diet plans or following food laws,
If someone thinks salmon is bad: it's their loss.

We eat to live and enjoying it's not wrong,
I'm advocating food not political cause.
Everyone has their cup of tea from the pot,
We all dance to the tune of our own song.
Like Vegans say don't it eat it if it crawls,
Others say the same of a split-hoot paw.
While others claim to eat apples only in the fall,
Some say atkins, other say St. Paul.

I figure toxin's toxin whatever it's called,
Like every other item in a food court mall.
...It smells really good until the bathroom stall,
It makes think of those who never use a stove-top,
Never process food, it's never frozen nor thawed,
If I had to pick a side, it's Nature

(1:40)
Oh baby I like it raw...

(1:50)
Rhubarb...hemp hearts...radishes...and chard,
You don't need recipes if it's coming from the heart,
I take a cup of almonds and I soak them in some water,
Leave them for a while so they'll soften, not harden,
Slice them over lettuce for a salad like "ugggh",
Let food be medicine like herbs in the sun...

We don't need additives and chemicals in the blood,
We need sustenance like a plate full of Love,
Alive full of enzymes not like Wonder bread,
Where you wonder if it's food at all, just because it's said,
And you have to be a chemist just to read ingredients,
When you're hungry, ask is it real?
When you eat again.

I'm talking lemon juice, sushi, pineapples, with couscous,
Raw chocolate, cherry tomatoes, the food's food...


(2:30)
Oh baby I like it raw...

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yo, shimmy yay,
Give me the mic and I can take it away.
Off on a natural charge it's Homage,
Coming from the Original Medicine squad,
Calgary killa bees at the Ball,
The name I represent is a summons to evolve.
