Trader Joe’s

Benjamin Burgess

I’m by the number one store  

With the craziest doors

I’m by the number one store  

With the craziest doors 

Trader joe’s is the number one store 

 

Food for thought: 

Bread and water fed the whole village 

Soap and water gave us clean children 

God gave us light  

Then he gave us Trader Joe’s  

 

Who else you know  

With famous people on the payroll?  

Got celebrities loving their job 

It don’t matter what you do  

Just keep working hard 

 

Stay true as you can  

Never let this world  

Define you as a man 

Stay humble, keep speakin’  

Say “good morning” —  

You could be dead by this evening  

 

That’s why we love Trader Joe’s  

So many positive people  

They got a positive flow 

We don’t even shop at Yes! Organic no more 

And Whole Foods is too expensive for the poor 

 

I need a positive place  

Where everybody working  

With a smile on their face 

Where everybody care  

About each other at work 

Keep each other safe  

And put the customers first 

 

I just wanna say thanks  

For the love I receive  

And that hug that you gave me  

Made me wanna breath  

Made me wanna believe.  

God, I wish we had a Trader Joe’s on my street  

But for now I’m sure I’m by the number one store  

With the craziest door  

 

I was out there on the coldest day ever 

Can’t underestimate the weather  

I saw the wind lift a house and a truck 

I’mma layer up  

But that could never be enough  

 

I got courage, I’m brave  

But before I get to brave, here I pray  

That every ray from the sun keep me warm 

Keep me warm, keep me warm ‘til I’m done  

Thanks for the hot chocolate, coffee, and tea  

Thanks for food and water you’ve given to me  

Thanks for your support 

 

I love the government  

Still the shutdown let me know  

That the government real 

I hope Trump and Pelosi  

Can meet in the middle  

Not a wall but a border, what is the issue? 

 

Even when the government close  

We still go to Traders Joe’s 

Street politics keep us up on our toes  

Thanks for the info; What’s the 4-1-1? 

Yes, I am the one that told you, “Put down the guns”  

We building up communities now   

Ain’t no racism in this town  

 

1914 14th St. NW, that’s the location  

When you feel stress and need a street vacation 

Take you a walk to the nearest Traders 

A hug is what she needed, so a hug I gave her  

Cause I be outside on the coldest days  

But they show me love in the warmest ways  

At Trader Joe’s
