Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Ham 'N' Eggs lyrics

[Hook] I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Ay yo, Phife do you eat em? (No, Tip do you eat em?) Uh uh, not at all (Again) I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Jarobi, do you eat em? (Nope, Shah, do you eat em?) Nope Not at all [Verse 1: Q-Tip & Phife Dawg] A tisket, a tasket, what's in mama's basket? Some veggie links and some fish that stinks Why, just the other day, I went to Grandma's house Smelled like she conjured up a mouse Eggs was fryin', ham was smellin' In ten minutes, she started yellin' (Come and get it!) And the gettin's were good I said, "I shouldn't eat it", she said, "I think you should" But I can't, I'm plagued by vegetarians No cats and dogs, I'm not a veterinarian Strictly collard greens and the occasional steak Goes on my plate Asparagus tips look yummy, yummy, yummy Candied yams inside my tummy A collage of good eats, some snacks or nice treats Apple sauce and some nice red beets This is what we snack on when we're questin' (both: No second guessin') [Hook] [Q-Tip] Bridge! [Verse 2: Phife Dawg] Now drop the beat, so I can talk about my favorite tastings The food that is the everlasting See I'm not fasting I'm gobbling, like a dog on turkey Beef jerky, Slim Jims, I eat sometimes I like lemons and limes "And if not that, I get the Roti and the Soursop" Sit back, relax, listen to some hip-hop [Verse 3: Q-Tip] Gum drops and gummy bears tease my eyes A sight for sore ones and some bore pies And other goodies that are filled with goop With fried apple roots Delectable delights, control my appetites Mines is for me, right, but I know what I like Chicken for lunch, chicken for my dinner Chicken, chicken, chicken, I'm a finger lickin' winner When breakfast time comes, I don't recognize Pig in the pan or a pair of bogey chides Mixed with stewed tomatoes, home fried potatoes Or anything with flair, cook it, I'm in there Pay attention to the Tribe as we impose This is how it goes I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol A yo, Phife do you eat em? (Nah, Tip do you eat em?) Uh uh, not at all (Come again, y'all) I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Jarobi, do you eat em? (Nope, Shah, do you eat em?) Nope, not at all I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Afrika do you eat em? (No, Pos, do you eat em?) Hell yeah, all the time I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Phife, do you eat em? (Nah, Tip, do you eat em?) Uh uh, not at all I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Jarobi, do you eat em? (Nope, Shah, do you eat em?) Nope, not at all I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol Afrika, do you eat em? (No, Gary, do you eat em?) Yeah, all the time (laughing)
