On The Hip Hop Homestead
Written by: Dr. Debs, Nocola Williams, Corrine Williams DaCosta
Verse 1
We use our hands to till the ground,
As life transforms into leaps and bounds.
We grow our veggies and our fruits to eat.
Our watermelons are juicy, and oh, so sweet!
Aquaponic gardening is an alternative way
To each make a difference, every day.
A place to thrive for honeybees,
Who pollinate our plants and trees.
If only you could see the beauty;
A gift to our community.
From early sunup, to late afternoon,
We work while listenin' to soulful tunes.
Hook
Music is also food for the soul;
Giving us strength, which is our goal.
Chorus
Through the window in the bedroom,
We are greeted by the sun.
Need no alarms, there's work to be done...
On The Hip Hop Homestead.
With our mission clear as day
Plantin' seeds that grow.
Sharing our knowledge is what we aim to sow...
On The Hip Hop Homestead.
Verse 2
Man and nature, working side by side,
As we grow our heritage with pride.
When each day ends, the sun sets low.
We thank God for His blessings as we sow.
We give honor to the ancestors
We will not forget our past.
Hook
Our silent protest is growing our own.
With our hands in the soil, we can atone.
Chorus
Through the window in the bedroom,
We are greeted by the sun.
Need no alarms, there's work to be done...
On The Hip Hop Homestead.
With our mission clear as day
Plantin' seeds that grow.
Sharing our knowledge is what we aim to sow...
On The Hip Hop Homestead.
Outro (Spoken)
These seeds of knowledge and understanding
Are deeply rooted and will be long lasting...
Our goal is to learn, and then educate.
We will always spread love and not hate...
