Too Much Food [Intro]        (3x)      (hold) [Verse] You can say that I’m one curly fry in the box of the regular Messing with the flavor oh the flavor that you savor Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all Living in a fast food bag making friends with the ketchup and salt People say that I’m crazy for not moving on to better things Instead I’m sitting around trash talking with the onion rings But it’s much too soon to leave this easy life Pass me the spoon pass the analytical knife [Chorus] Cause you’re about to get cut up or get cut down It’s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold Better shut up or get shot down It’s all about the know how all just a matter of taste Stop telling me the way I gotta play    too much food on my plate [Interlude]              (hold) [Verse] Well believe it or not I super-sized my sights on the surprise In the cereal box my stomachs smaller than my eyes So I went to see the doctor and he said turn your head and then cough I didn’t listen to what he said instead I couldn’t wait to get off He said I can have this but I can’t have that I should keep wishing I was living the life of a cat But a I ain’t the one whose gonna be missing the feast Just like you ain’t the one who seems to be calming the beast [Chorus] Now you’re about to get cut up or get cut down It’s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold Better shut up or get shot down It’s all about the know how all just a matter of taste Stop telling me the way I gotta play You’re puttin too much food on my plate come on [Interlude]                          Oh my                say yeah               [Bridge] Well if you are what you eat In my case I’ll be sweet So come and get some.... I’m... so over... it [Chorus] Cause you’re about to get   cut up or get cut down It’s all about the know how or just a matter of taste Stop telling me the way that I gotta play you put too much food on my plate come on Get up to get it and get down   get up to get it and get down Get up to get it and get enough a come on get up get up get up A come on get up to get it and get some   get up to get it and get some Get up to get it and get some     cause there’s too much food on my plate come on [Outro]        (3x)      (hold)

La chanson évoque l'idée d'être souvent submergé par les attentes et les pressions de la vie, comme si l'on avait trop de choses à gérer sur son assiette. Le narrateur se compare à une frite dans un sachet, parlant de la difficulté à se libérer des jugements des autres tout en appréciant les petites joies simples. À travers des métaphores autour de la nourriture, il aborde l'envie de choisir son propre chemin sans être influencé par les opinions extérieures, affirmant qu'il préfère savourer sa vie à son rythme. Le contexte de la chanson peut être vu comme une critique légère de la société moderne, où l'on nous pousse souvent à consommer plus et à courir après des standards inaccessibles. Cela souligne une certaine impatience et un désir de vivre authentiquement, simplement en savourant sa propre existence. C'est une invitation à faire ses propres choix et à se concentrer sur ce qui compte vraiment, malgré le bruit ambiant.
