Lyrics
[verse 1]
i'm from a place that ya read about in newspapers
so many try to escape, only a few make it
the true cage is the idea that you stuck there
nothin' you can do to change it, nobody who can save ya
nowhere to move, so my idle mind grew complacent
useless thinkin', trust false hope, cause the truth is changin'
rap or ball, yeah they gave me the option
can't sell raw 'cause the neighorhood watchin'
it's finders keepers, tale of a black male
fact fails on you and the lies deceive ya
momma worked all day to pay the guy who beats her
so my dinner was at noon, milk, slice of pizza
little fight in her eyes told me life defeats her
but there's still fight in her! so i'm given hope
the facts of life's you gotta know different strokes
gotta be another ways to live other than livin' broke
[hook]
(so i eat)
'cause i remember bein' hungry at night
(so i eat)
to keep the dark past outta my mind
(so i eat)
'cause life is a roll of a dice
and every chance costs a hell of a price
(so i eat)
[verse 2]
graduated from milk and a slice of pizza
to three square, five course, dine at leisure
then i found a diva with the finest features
we exchanged vows in the house of jesus
in addition to the usual, tellin her i love her
i told i'd set the table every day like the last supper
she never understood, i'd expect that from her
how can you know bein' full if you ain't had hunger?
intimate acquaintance, moreso than my bride
so i'll force down a few meals, just to hold my pride
got a drive do more than just survive, gotta thrive
so i strive to provide, multiply my supply
no suprise, that i grew a little more around my belt
back in the old days, weight was a sign of wealth
i'm only gettin' richer, my motto: death to hand me down's
just buy new if the clothes couldn't fit ya
[hook]
[verse 3]
i wake up and put this smile on, a subtle disguise
try to remain humble, but i struggle to rise
from this bed i made for myself, she offers to help
but i decline, 'cause the weight on my shoulder is mines
arrive to the kitchen again, clutchin' a knife
steak and eggs, bacon and bread, and butter to slice
i quick glipse across the table to her flutterin eyes
she speaks, all i hear over chewin is mutters and sighs
i betcha think my appetite might send me to my afterlife
i don't bat an eye, i keep on eatin
dont see the consequences 'cause i keep on breathin'
tho my breaths get heavy and i think i'm wheezin'
tired of bein' tired, i just feel like sleepin'
but she don't understand 'cause i keep my secrets
the doc said i only got a few more weekends
if i dont change, that lifestyle i don't believe in
[hook]
