Chicken Coop
Woven Roots · Other Songs - Woven Roots
I got a bomb ass chicken coop up in my front yard
said I got a bomb ass poultry pen up in my front yard
cooking lemongrass chicken soup with some swiss chard
said I got a bomb ass poultry pen out in my front yard
(verse 1)
fresh eggs every day
the best fertilizer and i don't got to pay
a facet in living a sustainable way
eat meat for free from the land that I stay
(chorus) repeat
(verse 2)
galvanized steel and wooden storage bins
welded wire so the bear cant get in
from the mountain lions the chickens I must defend
its a facet in my sustainable system
(chorus) repeat
(verse 3)
nasa grows their food in space in bio-domes
I grow my food in my space all on my own
our food is profuse and produced at my home
I dont need meet raped in plastic and shipped in styrofoam
from the fruit to the root to the tuber and to the rhizome
I dont dwell in the gutter in the high zone I roam
chickens and ducks eat food from the farm that I grow
and wisdom is given to those who seek to know
(chorus) repeat
