| Yeah, this is a ghetto prayer | |
| Prayin for all of those who ain't got it | |
| We gotta get it there, we gotta get it yeah | |
| Yeah the people starvin for somethin new, we starvin for it | |
| (My tummy hurts, I couldn't eat) | |
| Mmmm, mmm, mmm | |
| (Did you have fun at school today Trey?) | |
| My little man go to bed so hungry | |
| Get up, go to school with his nose runny, come home with his nose bloody | |
| His sister laughin, he like "What's so funny~?" | |
| 'Til she drowned out by the sounds of hunger pains in his tummy | |
| Nuttin in the freezer, nuttin in the fridge | |
| Couple of 40 ounces but nuttin for the kids | |
| Little man know to eat to live but he don't wanna leave the crib | |
| The kid who punched him in his face house right down the street from his | |
| He went anyway, more scared to face his moms | |
| She'll beat him soon as she flip out, seein his face scarred | |
| Walkin past the dopefiends with they smoke to the place of God | |
| Hopes and dreams pourin out the holes in they face and arms | |
| Little man in the face of harm if he don't eat | |
| He need energy so when he go to school he can compete | |
| And keep up, all he got is bodegas | |
| But hey he only got enough a for quarter water and a Now or Later | |
| Anyway, grandma say Jesus'll be here any day | |
| Good - cause with nuttin to eat it's gettin hard to pray... pray... | |
| In order to receive, then we need to give | |
| We gotta feed the kids, they gotta eat to live | |
| Listen... | |
| My rhymes got nutritional value | |
| I get it how I live, it's critical when the conditions allow you | |
| Do you don't trust the critics who doubt you | |
| Try to write shit about you, but they can't make a living without you | |
| Go hungry, you gotta watch what the media feed ya | |
| And don't be a poisoned animal eater either | |
| It's harder than it sound, cause nowadays, put that swine in everything | |
| The white sugar so addictive it's pure 'caine | |
| They got, pork in the toothpaste, soda in the Sunny D | |
| Jello brand gelatin is laced with the lecatin | |
| In Africa they starvin, over here the food hurt you | |
| Cows goin mad and the chickens crunk with bird flu | |
| It's too ill how the food kill it's like blue steel | |
| Lies never set you free, but the truth will | |
| The truth still matter the proof is in the batter or the pudding | |
| You can tell we eatin good, we gettin fatter | |
| Listen... |
