Red Beans & Rice - Spearhead
I don't eat red meat but I'm not a vegetarian
I like ice cream but not much dairy
'Cause it gets in my nose
It makes me gotta blows
Snot like a farmer and it gets on my clothes
It's rather unsightly can even be frightening
But cold medication should not be taken nightly
Because everything dat I put in it comes out again
And if I eat lean it helps me stay thin
Check out my hair I keep it dreaded
About my corn I like it breaded
Hot from the oven
MMMM you said it
Straight to the stomach my fuel is unleaded
But not fossil fuels I like olive oil
I like my eggs scrambled I never eat 'em boiled
The way to my heart is with a garlic clove
It smells hella sexy when it's on the kitchen stove
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice
I could eat a plate twice
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice
Make everything nice
So nice So nice So nice So nice
Most people on the planet eat beans and rice
Some can't afford beef or they think cows are nice
If you talk table manners don't believe all they
Told ya I eat with my fingers like an African soldier
I don't know which fork is for meat or for salad
I haven't got a clue when they say "whet your palate"
Eat a lot a prunes it'll keep you loose
Skin'll turn orange if you drink carrot juice
I think beef jerky tastes just like a boot
When I'm on the street I chew a licorice root
And if I have a soar throat then I eat ginger
And I will break bread with those who are strangers
So come into my cave tonight I will show you
Food is for life and life I will show you
If you're havin' problems I invite you here
Step into my kitchen we will cook away your fears
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice
Make everything nice
So nice So nice So nice
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that
Saved a wretch like me
Dammit let's eat
Mi casa es su casa Mi cocina es su cocina
You know what I meana
Get some boilin' water Yeah
Get a pound of beans Yeah
Get some spice and make it nice Yeah
You know what I mean
But if a friend has gas then he's passin'
It gives me a headache end I gotta take aspirin
It makes me dizzy I fix him fizzies
To calm his stomach when it's feelin' kinda
Busy some like it white but I like it brown
I like spicy chicken and I can throw it down
Chilis come red and chilis come green
When it's on the table I lick my plate clean
Then I drink a toast to the host and hostess
But first we give thanks to God the Mostest
'Cause if I am a guest I always wash my plate
Sip a sip a soda while I sing Amazing Grace
Rings on my fingers left round the tub
Bass fulla bubbles bumpin' like a wash tub
Think about my troubles goin' down the drain
Dryin' up the puddles in the back of my brain
But
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice
Make everything nice
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice I could eat a plate twice
Red beans and rice red beans and rice
Red beans and rice
Make everything nice
Get some boilin' water Yeah
Get a pound of beans Yeah
Get some spice and make it nice Yeah
You know what I mean
Red beans and rice
