Nutrition by Requiem (AU) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Requiem]
This is nutrition, a true wisdom
More than food, listen
Hearing this negative my mood isn’t
Uplifted, inspired by Rhymes Gifted
Nasir Jones and others had my mind shifted
I might kick it, a student of the drum
Thankful this culture influenced who I’ve become
Keep it correct, a general rule of thumb
Happiness felt when I hear the speakers hum
Speak to some, a handful of fans tuning in
The kind of thing leaving me with a stupid grin
Hip hop my life
About nine when I was moving in
Music in my blood, beats flushin’ through my skin
In truth it’s been, a fruitful pilgrimage
Ups and downs honestly but I still commit
Still today catchin’ wreck, craftin’ my skill to spit
Food for the soul so I get my fill of it
[Hook: Requiem]
Food for the heart, brain and the soul
Help me get through when life takes a toll
Not just something on plate, in a bowl
Make me feel good, make me feel whole
[Verse 2: Requiem]
Having fun with it, this is my nourishment
Share a meal same way I share my publishing
A sudden hit of serotonin when words fumbling
Another verse, another 16 bar accomplishment
Loving it in high school, so I had to run with it
Now more in love than ever and I’m not done with it
In awe of what the pioneers in the past done with it
Peace to the kings that’ve been more than encouraging
Rumblin’ in the jungle and against the ropes
Step and stone, ebb and flow against the metronome
Neighbour played me tapes in ’94 that set the tone
This culture like calcium, it’s in my bones
Not something I can own, always on loan
Wherever I’m at it helps me feel at home
South to north, and everywhere I roam
Nutrition given from those who rock the microphone
[Hook: Requiem]
Food for the heart, brain and the soul
Help me get through when life takes a toll
Not just something on plate, in a bowl
Make me feel good, make me feel whole
[Outro/Cuts: Jayteehazard]
"Fine and nutritious"
"We got the recipe" "They hungry like"
"Fine and nutritious"
"We got the recipe" "We need food"
"Fine and nutritious"
"We got the recipe" "They hungry like"
"Fine and nutritious"
"We got the recipe" "We need food"
This is nutrition, a true wisdom
More than food, listen
Hearing this negative my mood isn’t
Uplifted, inspired by Rhymes Gifted
Nasir Jones and others had my mind shifted
I might kick it, a student of the drum
Thankful this culture influenced who I’ve become
Keep it correct, a general rule of thumb
Happiness felt when I hear the speakers hum

The kind of thing leaving me with a stupid grin

In truth it’s been, a fruitful pilgrimage
Ups and downs honestly but I still commit
Still today catchin’ wreck, craftin’ my skill to spit
