lyrics

Tanya Evanson:
Plant the plantain
Throw the seeds down
Avocado campaign
Land speaks to young and old now

Plant the plantain
Avocado campaign
Land speaks to young and old, the seeds down
Throw the seeds down
Throw the seeds down

While waiting for land
Grow yourself open hand
Pepper, palm, produce and sand
Throw the seeds down
Throw the seeds down

Kwame Write:
Mo ndua ennuaba
Wo ne wo nua
Wo noa a ɛbɛ bene
Dabɛn ne kyena

Wo ne asaase
Mooko ntɔkoa
Woabɔ adegya na woowi wonsa

Food is a force
Resource from source
Feed the planet, plant it. Trees

Tanya:
Feed your neighbour water with your own blood, you dig it?
A tree in your name, children's future. A resource from the source, of the source, from the source...
All thumbs are green
Open original hand
The planet's original band

Grow yourself free now
Dig yourself out now
Water us clean now

Get out the downtown
Throw dem seeds down
Throw the damn seeds down

Kwame:
Cocoa Tetteh Quarshie
Pawpaw from Ketekrachie
Moko ɛne bankye
Green kontomire mogya duro
Farming for urban folks you know
Water the seeds down

Bitter leaf, bitter lemon, sweat sweet,
spirit xylem, baobab feet,
down to earth for photosynthesized food we eat
grow a tree town, free town
grow yourself free now

Human body and soul, rebirth
Human volcanoes, our bodies libation to earth
