grow food verse 7 - sem 41 lyrics

in my white hood, we got food sovereignty
grocery store half a mile
farmers market every week
‘get to choose my food
‘get to know what i eat
it comes from the earth
soundly ecologically (yuh yuh)
saying no to gmos
tilling soil with my hoe
make the food grow naturally
gardens, make in practically
cause you ain’t gotta panic
when your food is organic
i saw the food and i ran
sovereign of my own sandwich

hold up
not everyone so fortunate
when you got food security
you can only make ends meet
when your stuck in some poverty
you can’t have your food sovereignty
can’t go skirting for groceries
supermarkets ain’t close to me (nah)
now privilege playin into this
white folk got their csas
others bein excluded
no sp-ce is race neutral
but inclusion is crucial
step it back with the whiteness
make the produce more useful
need africans at the table
but we might not be able
slavery is a trauma
is hard just bein a gardna
when you doin a job tha
invokes memories of the soil
slave labor not nostalgia

it’s hard to join a garden when it’s all white
it can be uncomfortable
that’s why we gotta make it right
this calls for correction
now it’s time for reflection
on what us whites do not know
that keeps us from grow
with our brothers of color
and sovereignty for another
