Today we are witness to literally millions of sentient beings being taken from their environments against their will, they are: exploited, mistreated, abused, tortured, maimed and killed. According to Animal Welfare Institute (ADI), EVERY HOUR, some 1,000,000 chickens, 13,000 pigs and 4,000 cows are slaughtered for human consumption in the United States. It is a process that takes place far from public view, and one that few know very much about. Although all sentient beings feel in equality, there is certainly no equality in the manner in which the human species treats the animal species. I cannot stand it anymore. I have decided to lend voice to innocent, living beings who cannot speak for themselves, thus this blog was created.
IFEEL, a hip-hop/rap artist has appeared on the animal rights scene with fury. He pulls no punches, minces no words and does not hold back one iota of passion nor intention in the delivery of his message. He works from his heart and soul using the tools of his talent, his words and his influence. I admire his music and his honesty. The lyrics to “Why I Do It” are bold and without apology, as all of our words should be as we strive to right this gross injustice.
Blessings on those who lend voice to living beings who cannot speak for themselves!

WHY I DO IT ~LYRICS BY IFEEL
“I DO IT WITH A PEN, NOT A KNIFE OR A GUN
I TALK THE TALK, I DON’T WALK I F*CKIN RUN
AND IF I COULD I WOULD BURN IT ALL LIKE A SUN
ASHES TO ASHES – THAT DAY WILL COME
I DO IT COS IT’S SAD TO SEE WHAT WE’VE BECOME
I DO IT COS THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE DONE
I DO IT FOR YALL WHO CARE – F*CK MASS APPEAL
IF YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
I DO IT COS THE MONEY RIPS THE HEART OUT WITH STEEL
SO THEY CANNOT HEAR THE PAIN AND THE FEAR THAT THEY FEEL
I DO IT COS IT’S SO DAMN EASY TO KILL
BREED IT FEED IT CUT IT SHIP IT –
SERVE A HAPPY MEAL
~~~
~~~
I DO IT COS THEY
STEAL EM BEAT EM BREED EM
AND BLEED EM TREAT EM
LIKE TRASH –
THROW EM AWAY WHEN THEY DON’T NEED EM
~~~
THAT’S SICK –
NO COMPROMISE (NOOOOO)
NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM
YES WE GETTIN EVEN –
NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM (NOOOOO)
~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME
SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT
~~~
~~~
I DO IT FOR THE CALF IN BOX 44
HE CAN ONLY STAND UP AND FALL ON THE FLOOR
I DO IT FOR THE DOG SKINNED ALIVE FOR FUR RABBIT IN A BAG
– SCARED –
WAITIN TO BE SERVED
LITTLE PIGS WHOSE CRIES WILL NEVER BE HEARD
I DO IT FOR THE MICE AND EVERY SINGLE BIRD
I DO IT FOR THE CHICKEN WITH A HEAD CUT OFF
EVERY SLICE F*CKIN BURNS TILL THE HEAD COMES OFF
I DO IT FOR THE HORSE CHOPPED UP FOR A SAUSAGE
IT’S SAD HOW SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARNED NOT TO BE SAVAGE
I DO IT FOR MY DOGS AND CATS
IN EVERY JAIL
WITH NO CHANCE OF BAIL –
IN THIS MAN MADE HELL
I DO IT FOR THE CHICKS GETTING GROUND UP ALIVE
COWS IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE TERRIFIED BEFORE THEY DIE
I DO IT FOR THE DUCK GETTIN STUFFED TO DEATH
I’LL DO IT TILL I DIE – TILL MY LAST F*CKIN BREATH AHHHHH
~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME
SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT
~~~
~~~
I DO IT COS I’M PISSED AND SICK OF ALL THE LIES
I DO IT COS I CRY WHEN I LOOK INTO THOSE EYES
I DO IT FOR THE DOLPHIN SLICED UP ALIVE
I DO IT FOR THE PITBULLS FIGHTIN TILL THEY DIE
I DO IT FOR THE NAMELESS BODY ON THE PRODUCTION LINE
EVERYDAY A MASSACRE – PAIN IS HEINOUS ALL THE TIME
I DO IT COS I HEAR EM SCREAMIN WHEREVER THEY HIDE EM
AND EVEN IF THEY SHIP EM AND FLY EM – WE STILL GONNA FIND EM
~~~
I DO IT FOR THE BIRDS IN THE BATTERY CAGES
I DO IT FOR THE MODERN-DAY SLAVES IN THE CAGES
CHIMP IN A SEAT WITH A SKULL CRACKED OPEN
CAT WITH NO SLEEP WITH A MOUTH WIDE OPEN
I DO IT COS OF WEAK-ASS HUNTING LITTLE BITCHES
BIG GUNS
NO BALLS
SNAPPIN THEIR LITTLE PICTURES
KILL EM WHILE THEY CAN –
TILL WE GET SOME GLITCHES
F*CK THE BANDAID –
WE GONNA NEED SOME STITCHES

THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME,
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES
IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME
SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
THIS IS WHY I DO IT –
THIS IS WHY I DO IT –
THIS IS WHY I DO IT
WHY DO IT
WHY DO IT DO IT.”

In factories, thousands of baby chicks are ground up alive.
