WACK!
Lyrics by MGD
America’s Health is a Problem
Clip from an interview of Dr. David Katz
“The single leading cause of premature death before the pandemic, during the pandemic and after the pandemic, is poor diet quality”
- David Katz
It’s just WACK! WACK! WACK!
This whole thing is just WACK! WACK!
This whole situation is ridiculously
WACK health from this WACK food with this WACK mood
WACK cuz we don’t move
It’s WACK! it’s just so WACK! It’s just…
[Hook]
WACK! (wack) WACK! (wack) WACK!
This whole thing is just WACK! (wack) WACK!
This whole situation is ridiculously
WACK health from this WACK food with this WACK mood
WACK cuz we don’t move
It’s WACK! it’s just so WACK! So WACK!
[Verse 1]
This is WACK!
I saw you take that chips and soda off the rack
Put it right back
Cuz obesity will sneak up on you and attack
In the 1980s, crack and black pushed an entire community back
That was WACK!
But in 2020, same story, Jack
Except its high fructose corn syrup that’s basically sugar crack
With minority communities running rampant with the Big Mac
Or a box with jumping Jack
Or a King who makes it your way like he’s got ya back
Listen to this!
Then turn around, stab you in the back
BMI so high, can’t see the back
Arteries are clogged with that nasty plaque
Get ready for a heart attack
Can’t even believe that
Then they put the blame on them because they can’t make it around the track
And not on the multiple resources that they lack
We’re talking about social determinants of health to be exact
Cuz lack of access to care is a common for brown and black
And health disparities are quite setback
We already know that
This is so…
[Hook x 2]
[Verse 2]
NO!
I’m not taking what I said back
CDC got all the statistics piled so high we got stacks on stack
Now their falling off the rack
And every single year, they will increase until we act
Cuz this is so…WACK!
No, I’m not smoking crack
Or throwing that liquor back
Cuz I don’t do that
All I speak is real facts
In 1977, McGovern tried to get us off this track
But all the food industries (the diary, the meat, the salt and the sugar)........the rat pack
Came out the woodwork and they all clapped back
Decided that they were not having that
Like BIG tobacco when it got smacked
With evidence that cigs were cancer’s favorite snack
Disregarded the facts
Didn’t listen to Simmelweiss when he said, “Ya hands dirty. You should wash that”
Seems like it’s about profit and your life don’t mean jack
Unless I got the whole thing wardsback (Ahaaa!)
My hand can’t get to faces fast enough to smack
I’m-I’m-I’m-I’m so over the effectiveness we lack
With hospitals selling every type of snack
Kids TV advertising crap
Foods that glow in the dark, create dental plaque
Can you even grow mold on that?
Red Dye 40 listed on the back of the pack
Nah, I wouldn’t eat that
[Hook x 2]
[Verse 3]
This game needs a new quarterback
Whole new plan of attack
I can’t, I won’t sit back
Watch lives fall right through the cracks
And if that means I catch some flack cuz I think lifestyle our way back
If you push lifestyle then you’re a quack (Hold up!)
Research got my back
There is evidence
Can you handle that?
We need the basics back
It’s as simple as that
[Outro]
Cuz
This is WACK! (x10)
