[Verse 1]
System breaks, shelves go bare overnight,
Bills keep climbing, power cuts the light.
No more waiting on distant supply lines,
Your backyard plot becomes the lifeline.

[Verse 2]
Prices spike while trucks sit idle and still,
Store food loses flavor and loses its thrill.
No middle man taking his cut every day,
You grow your own and keep the rest your way.

[Chorus]
Gotta get a garden goin',
Your seeds and hands all know it.
Self-sufficient, row by row,
Break the chain and watch it grow.

[Verse 3]
Power fails or roads get closed for weeks,
Your rows keep giving what the family seeks.
Compost turns waste into fuel for the bed,
Rain barrels fill and keep the harvest fed.

[Verse 4]
No labels, no chemicals sprayed on the crop,
Just real nutrition straight from the top.
Kids learn soil, seeds, and how to provide,
Skills that last when the old ways subside.

[Chorus]
Gotta get a garden goin',
Your seeds and hands all know it.
Self-sufficient, row by row,
Break the chain and watch it grow.

[Verse 5]
Neighbors trade squash for beans from your row,
Builds real community where the good things grow.
Drought or flood, you tweak and you adapt,
Garden teaches lessons that the world forgot.

[Verse 6]
Canning jars stack on the pantry shelf high,
Winter stores mean you never have to buy.
One small patch turns worry into peace,
Self-reliance is the only release.

[Verse 7]
When the grid goes dark or the system cracks wide,
Your dirt still works and keeps the family supplied.
No more fear of empty carts at the store,
Independence grows right outside your door.

[Chorus]
Gotta get a garden goin',
Your seeds and hands all know it.
Self-sufficient, row by row,
Break the chain and watch it grow.
