[Intro] [Modern Synth Beat] (Spoken - Deep Voice) From the St. Barnabas Accord... to the plate. The mandate is set. 25 by 30. ...Innovation... Technology....Sovereignty. Food First. [Verse 1] We spendin' billions strictly to import When the richest soil is right inside the fort! From the Government house to the Private Sector board We coming together in a new accord. Farmer with the tablet, wiping off the brow Scientist in the lab, improving on the cow. Importer, Exporter, listening to the call We building a table big enough for all! [Chorus] FOOD FIRST! (We Planting the Seed!) FOOD FIRST! (Growing what we need!) Twenty-Five by Thirty, that is the plan Feeding the woman, the child, and the man! We save the Foreign Exchange, keep the dollar home Reaping the harvest from the loam and the foam. From the hydroponic farm to the grocery tree FOOD FIRST! We Feeding We! [Verse 2] Look the children running in the schoolyard green Learning the science behind the green bean. No more NCDs, no more sugar in the vein We eating the root and the fruit and the grain! Future food scientists rising from the class Turning the innovation inside of the glass. Women in the business, making the trade This is how a wealthy nation is made! [Bridge] [Brass Solo - Triumphant] (Chant) Fisherman! (Cast the net good!) Agri-Tech! (Run the system good!) Merchant! (Sell the local good!) The Nation! (Eat the food good!) [Verse 3] We cutting the bill, we raising the bar We don't need the apple coming from afar. We have the mango, the dasheen, and the yam The sweetest provision anywhere in the land. It starts with a seed and a vision in the mind Leaving the hunger and the dependency behind. So power up the drone, let the water flow Watch how the Caribbean power start to grow! [Chorus] FOOD FIRST! (We Planting the Seed!) FOOD FIRST! (Growing what we need!) Twenty-Five by Thirty, that is the plan Feeding the woman, the child, and the man! We save the Foreign Exchange, keep the dollar home Reaping the harvest from the loam and the foam. From the hydroponic farm to the grocery tree FOOD FIRST! We Feeding We! [Outro] Self-sufficient. Healthy. Strong. 25 by 30. We Feeding We. [Fade out with children singing "Food First"]
