Beans & Cornbread
A'Dunyae tha Specialist
Oakland, CA

Beans and Cornbread had a fight
Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight
Cornbread said, "Now that's alright,
I'll meet you at the corner tomorrow night"

Cornbread came back with a loaded gun
Started busting at Beans 'till Beans ran
Right on back to his Bean can
He went to go get green eggs and ham

I find it to be incredible
To have all this beef over bread and some vegetables
But you know it ain't no joke
That a bunch of vegetables got artichoked

Great metaphor for violence against one another cause when you step away we are all part of the same family. 02/21/07

To me it seems like it's just another person sitting at home trying to think of ways to bring back hip-hop. Yeah he has a point to his rhyme but at the same time it seems sugar coated. No disrespect to him or anything but like I tell all my rap friends, " If you're going to do it, make sure you know what you're talking about. Make sure they understand what you're talking about. Either go hard with the truth or don't quit your day job." Peace

Nathan, Just Think!

This song I think comes from a person who has seen the story that he raps about up close at some point in his life. He describes what happens when two guys get mad at each other and fight. One loses and comes back with a gun and decides to shoot the other. He tells this story in a way that can be taken as humor by using food names for characters. But he brings to the listener a waking call that we should look back at our society to bring awareness to the real dangers of street life. And that the consequences of when something like this happens are very real.
