    Kendrick Lamar - Poe Man's Dreams i.e. "Smoke good, eat good, live good..."

    The Baby Huey is spot on - really gets at the circumstances and the unhealthy behaviours.

    I've honestly never been able to figure out what Vitamin C is about. Outside of the title, what does it say about health? (Nice cover!) Same goes for Why Don't You Eat Carrots - ??

    Thanks, these are great. Keep them coming!

    Roots has always been a healthy dude. I remember interviewing him when he first got on Ninjatune and he was all smoothied out talking about vegetarian IIRC...

    Songs about getting drunk/high/strung out/hungover are endless.

    Perhaps the best for this thread are King Heroin above and Gil Scott-Heron's Home Is Where The Hatred Is.

    Songs about eating healthy/unhealthy are fewer and farther between.

    The complete lyrics to this song are:

    "Cokes and Snickers is all I eat
    Cokes and Snickers is all I need
    Health sucks, Health sucks"

    Pure genius...
