This is a tribute acapella verse from the song WE CAN GET DOWN by Phife Dawg, with A Tribe Called Quest. May Malik Isaac Taylor, aka Phife Dawg, Rest In Peace! His legacy will forever be implanted in Hip-Hop culture.
According to multiple sources, Phife struggled with diabetes and poor health since the 90’s. What was the cause of it? I have no idea, I never had the honor in meeting him in person. Could have been hereditary, could have been something else.
Too many times our people are being murdered by our own health. Bad health in America is at its highest. Bad health can be prevented on most occasions, with better eating and daily exercise. In America, I believe there are 4 main reasons for bad health:
1. Mental health.
2. Lack of exercise and choice in foods. i.e. Corn syrup, GMO’s, lack of vegetable consumption, over consumption of meats, etc.
3. Social Economics.
4. Hereditary.
It appears healthier eating is far more expensive. However poor healthy eating in the long run is far more expensive. In other parts of the world I believe deep rooted poverty, is the first reasoning for bad health. I myself am working on sustaining my health. My biggest issue is lack of daily exercise. I am working on it though!
In the words of Dead Prez “Be Healthy Y’all”!
Peace.
