about
GUMBO is about the multitude of ways we feed ourselves. It speaks to ingredients that make us who we are. What are you made of? Strength and grace, confidence and humility ...GUMBO is made of love, gratitude. Even those things that we are reluctant to swallow ...like pride ...and okra!
lyrics
In this moment I rejoice, in this moment I am still and free of choice; full of breath filled with noise, to the neck I stand poised;
never walked the straight and narrow, all the sidewalk was destroyed; by strong roots see the truth in'ya shadow, what's the use where's the proof; that you can time travel, I'm in a'mood combine wine wit'a concentrated; pine-tipped mind-trip medicated, sit and unwind a'bit; stretch release the toxins in'ya blood, smile and
...give ya'self hug; walk'a mile in green grass, 'cause it feels so good...
And now you deserve it, hey ya I deserve it, I know we’ve been nervous
But what’s the part of it, that’s just the nasty bit, that’s just the wash of it, it’s gonna wilt it down
Who deserve it, oh well who deserve it, finally who deserve it, say my ma deserve it
But what’s the part of it, that’s just the nasty bit, that’s just the wash of it, it’s going to wilt it down
In this moment I am humbled, I am thankful I am grateful; I acknowledge all my faults, I am graceful; I was raised by strong women, taught me proper pace and patience; puttin' meals on the table, tasteful initiation; eat it all you not gone waste it, food for thought; "did you really even taste it", relinquish all resistance, be vulnerable for an instant; I felt cornered liked the one who didn't cook, and does the dishes; so I opened up my soul and ate a bowl, it's so delicious;
We got somethin' cookin, we got somethin' brewin';
I don't know how it's lookin', I don't know what we doin';
But I'm think we doin' somethin' right, me 'n' my brothers finna eat tonight
I said we got somethin' cookin, we got somethin' brewin';
I don't know how it's lookin', I don't know what we doin';
But I'm think we doin' somethin' right, me 'n' my sisters finna eat tonight
And now you deserve it, hey ya I deserve it, I know we’ve been nervous
But what’s the part of it, that’s just the nasty bit, that’s just the wash of it, it’s gonna wilt it down
Who deserve it, oh well who deserve it, finally who deserve it, say my ma deserve it
But what’s the part of it, that’s just the nasty bit, that’s just the wash of it, it’s going to wilt it down
