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