God, I LOVE this video!

Who would have known that eating a salad could be so cool? I love the lyrics:

Why everybody in the bodego wanna crane their necks to stare at me?
I was out on the block tryin’ to make those Gs.
I was stopped at a shop tryin’ to get my greens.
Hook me up with a salad, boy. Don’t start smirkin’, you might get spurred.
I like the vinaigrettes on the H-E-word!
Shake it up nice, don’t say a word.
I’m just tryin’ to get my dine on. Salad help me keep my grind on.
Keep the gully and I down my cash.
Salad in my tummy ’cause I eat my stash.
I’m a type a dude trying to track my car.
I’m a type a dude prob’ly jack your car.
So when you see me snackin’ on the baby greens
Don’t get a twist, this boy is mean.

Best believe, my momma raised me right.
Made me help the dishes nearly every night.
Said the secret to life is eatin’ light.
Tasty nutrition in every bite.
Nowadays, I don’t eat baby tomatoes ’cause I’m a big boy.
Pick the ones as big as fists and eat dem with bok choy.
Baby so lucky to find a brother
Whose blood pressure ain’t about to rupture.
I keep it on the low-low with cucumbers.
Fried food? Hell, no, not for supper.
Eat light and I leave some room so I can have my cake too.
Bring out an order of tiramasu.
One slice, but spoons for two.

Let me see you shake that salad, shake, shake, shake.
Crack that pepper, tell me when, when, when.
Let me see you shake that ranch, shake, shake, shake.
Shred some cheese? Tell me when, when, when.

When I step into a steakhouse, baby, tell you, trouble’s my name.
I don’t care what’s the best dish, baby, it’s all the same.
I see the waiters look me up and down, they’re runnin’ away.
You know why? I know why. Because I’m the Salad Shaker
And I use a calculator as a calorie intaker
And I never make mistakes. I’m a nutrition calibrator.
Because I’m slicin’ and dicin’.
I like Romaine not the icin’.
I crumble blue cheese and croutons to top my salad so nicely.

When I’m creepin’ ’round the block, a salad won’t hold me down.
When I’m mashin’ up guac and smearing it on my chow
I hit the gas with my feet, I mash on the beat, I pass on the meat
I gotta salad on the passenger seat.
Oh you laughin’ at me? You crackin’ at me?
You think you make a salad so much faster than me? You trash, G!
I mix it up and I shake it up. Put a salad in a bag and I tape it up.
Put it in the freezer for ’bout half hour. Serve it up chilled with three cheese powder.

Let me see you shake that salad, shake, shake, shake.
Crack that pepper, tell me when, when, when.
Let me see you shake that ranch, shake, shake, shake.
Shred some cheese? Tell me when, when, when.
