Eat

Lyrics for Eat

He got blood on his hands Lotta years dark Skeleton's hanging out to dry, he just mumbles now Throughout prohibition of bars, I speak easy Raised from crude to engage in feuds, not seek treaty I keep repeating "peace, peace" till the streets heed me My wealth is word and self is certain, the meek need me (need me) From a bridge you burned, it's now in turn troubled waters To clear my course I got lost, still the gutter taught us When in charge, men knew when to charge, ain't had to utter orders Mighty freeze to 90 degrees, wasn't cutting corners One of the poorest, too young to forage, needin' couple quarters Eatin' cups of porridge thanks to loving daughters in the rugged forest Saw us hunted, punished by the world, girls reward us Gotta burn when in turn, we learned to treat 'em (?) Know swine with pighead is excitable, runnin' boorish Some cops deplore us, sure we won't make it to court if they caught us Our color brown, so they try to cut us down when they saw us My brother knew to be true, how my mother went to florist Seems a decision how musical wisdom is in shortage So for more, be sure put my core in every chorus Though proper rules is dropping jewels, not being hoarders I rep this definition of the hood and its thesaurus All them years couldn't shine It's our time, let's eat All them years couldn't shine It's our time, let's eat Let's eat (It's our time, let's eat, where you was at?) I was in a hole, you don't know the half Most likely to succeed, was voted last If you need markers out the darkness, I wrote a path Merge alliance, encouraged science, promoted math To the vast, why is truth esoteric? Indeed, if mislead the youth, I expect demerit Dedicate my life to studying, every lesson, I share it When one of my tribe died, was only debt to inherit (that's all) Ain't no frontin' in my background You listen to lies, no surprise you despise how facts sound When hungry, used to cook it up 'til they cracked down In the house, I'm always takin' it, I'm from that town (Brooklyn) (You find these words) Started at birth, was part of the earth, virtues of virtue Immediately speedin', all meetings was occured as a curfew Wanna do dirt hurt, put somethin' in a hearse's rehearsal Post serving the public, covet them years workin' to hurt you Had enough parts in the dark, only pickin' the lightest They just runnin' they lip, I'm comin' to grip with my vices Still give a fuddle, same struggle when wicked entices So I share some powerful words I heard when listenin' ciphers (And you knew power!) Was from the brokest neighborhood, but you can get a fix Coulda easily been hittin' that instead of pitchin' this (Amen) I know this tzar named himself Scar cause he was sick of tricks The cycle, we'd have cracked it if girls was attracted to quickest wits Many nights dingy, life was stingy with the jubilance Way the powers made it hard to make a dollar had us too incensed Know what was crazy, only saw a baby as a new expense This place is the worst, gave insatiable thirst, nothin' you could do to quench When in doubt, flew to my pursuit, stumbled on the first few attempts We know where life begins, but here, gettin' ends is when it do commence Gettin' ends is when it do commence Like your rappin' blackened, just happened to spice it up on occasion From where good is sus, it was too rough of behavin' As if I ain't bleed enough, this is another abrasion Now just spreadin' wisdom with hopes you suffer contagion (Amen!) Hopes that you suffer contagion I did it for my people, not the amens (Amen!) Amen I did it for my people, not the amens Hit a stride, I'd be satisfied when my day ends Amen, amen Hey man, knock that shit off! Hey man, knock that shit off! Let's talk about how to make some money!
