The joys of corn bread, fish, and collard greens
That Sunday meal plate
having soul food after church
is totally worth the wait
or
maybe having it in a home
with family and friends
or
out to a soul food restaurant
that's high end.


On a real nice date
cultural diversity
cultural university and cultural soul food 
cultural church  
the joys of fried chicken, collard greens, and sweet yams
the one like your grandmother makes 


Having that is better than 
worth having anything that's in a can.
The soul food got me thinking
it's God’s plan.
Got me saying 
I’m going to have another helping and plate.


Collard greens, fried chicken, and mac and cheese.
Got me saying, can I have some more?
opening cultural diversity right through your door 
Saying yes, can I have some more?
Pass the plate please!
