Cakes upon the griddle, coffee in a bottomless cup
Ain't no standing in the middle ... Once fed you're going to step right up
Put your back into it, Buster, ‘cause people gonna need to be saved
It's the oldest family recipe, shared with every generation made
Mustard in the Gravy, hot sauce in the stew
Momma’s making sure your fed to do what you need to do
Hear that refrain she’s singing? Can you catch the words she hums?
It’s from down here in her kitchen that the revolution comes
Sit there at the table, take all that she has to give
She'll teach you consideration for the life that you ought to live
An eye out for the needy, a hatred of the man
Who has the predilection to come and take all that he can
Mustard in the Gravy, hot Sauce in the Stew
Momma’s making sure your fed to do what you need to do
Hear that refrain she’s singing? Did you catch the words of what she hums?
It’s from down here in her kitchen that the revolution comes
Ain't no academic gonna argue with the girl
She's seen enough, felt enough, to know there's trouble in the world
Take a book down from her bookshelf, as she cooks for someone else
She gets everybody talking about how we’re gonna share the wealth
Mustard in the Gravy, hot Sauce in the Stew
Momma’s making sure your fed to do what you need to do
Hear that refrain she’s singing? You know the words. No need to hum
It’s from down here in this kitchen that the revolution comes
You need to be encouraged, need to keep the goal in view Down in Momma’s kitchen, she'll nourish what she sees in you
Measuring cup on the issues, mixing bowl for the brain
Come to the lowly kitchen from which every revolutionary came
It’s here in a mother’s kitchen from which every revolutionary came
