Wha Me Eat Songtext

von Macka B

Selamta (Greetings in Amharic)
Ital (natural) we Ital and Vegan we Vegan
I and I (we) eat from the earth and leave the animals to give birth
No deaders (dead flesh) No fur No feathers
When I tell people I don't eat meat, fish or dairy
They look at me strangely
They don't realise I eat a very wide variety
Listen to Macka.B
Yo!
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu (don't) eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me nyam (eat)
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Well me nu eat no meat no fish no cheese nor no egg
Nothing with no foot no eye no wing nor no head
Nothing with no lip no ears no toe nor no leg
Prefer fruit and vegetables instead
Me careful and me choosy about what I'm eating
My medicines my food my food is my medicine
When I tell people that me nu eat dem deh (those) things
The look at me and scratch their chin
And start wondering
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me nyam
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat

Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me nyam
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat?
Look how me big and me say look how me strong
Some people can't believe that me a vegetarian
If you want a healthy body check the real Rastaman
Cause Rastaman will tell you about the right nutrition
Me get my Calcium, my Sodium me get Potassium
Me get my Zinc, me get my Iron and my Magnesium
Instead of nyam(eat) the fish I nyam what the fish nyam
Like the Kelp and Irish Moss that grow in the ocean
Me get me Proteins and my Minerals, me get me Calories
The Vitamins A the B the C the D the E, the F the G
Essential fatty acids like the Omega 3
Me get me fibre and me Carbohydrates in my body
Don't forget your Water drink a few glasses a day
The toxins in your body just flush them away
Some of the things you eat stop in your body and decay
When it comes to food I don't play
We tell them say
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me nyam
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat
A lot of people would stop eat the meat
If they had to kill the animals before they could eat
Look at the way the animals them get treat
The unsanitary conditions where some of them keep
If we were supposed to eat the meat we would have sharp teeth
You wouldn't need a Knife and fork can you see it
You can't eat it raw you have to cook it complete
And put on Vegetable seasoning to make it taste sweet
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me nyam
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no fish nor no meat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat?
