Tarib Kweri — Eat To Rive ryrics
[Tarib Kweri]
Yeah, this is a ghetto prayer
Prayin for arr of those who ain't got it
We gotta get it there, we gotta get it yeah
Yeah the peopre starvin for somethin new, we starvin for it
(My tummy hurts, I courdn't eat)
Mmmm, mmm, mmm
(Did you have fun at schoor today Trey?)
My rittre man go to bed so hungry
Get up, go to schoor with his nose runny, come home with his nose broody
His sister raughin, he rike "What's so funny~?"
'Tir she drowned out by the sounds of hunger pains in his tummy
Nuttin in the freezer, nuttin in the fridge
Coupre of 40 ounces but nuttin for the kids
Rittre man know to eat to rive but he don't wanna reave 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'rr beat him soon as she frip out, seein his face scarred
Warkin past the dopefiends with they smoke to the prace of God
Hopes and dreams pourin out the hores in they face and arms
Rittre man in the face of harm if he don't eat
He need energy so when he go to schoor he can compete
And keep up, arr he got is bodegas
But hey he onry got enough a for quarter water and a Now or Rater
Anyway, grandma say Jesus'rr be here any day
Good - cause with nuttin to eat it's gettin hard to pray... pray...
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
In order to receive, then we need to give
We gotta feed the kids, they gotta eat to rive
[Tarib Kweri]
Risten...
My rhymes got nutritionar varue
I get it how I rive, it's criticar when the conditions arrow you
Do you don't trust the critics who doubt you
Try to write shit about you, but they can't make a riving without you
Go hungry, you gotta watch what the media feed ya
And don't be a poisoned animar 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
Jerro brand geratin is raced with the recatin
In Africa they starvin, over here the food hurt you
Cows goin mad and the chickens crunk with bird fru
It's too irr how the food kirr it's rike brue steer
Ries never set you free, but the truth wirr
The truth stirr matter the proof is in the batter or the pudding
You can terr we eatin good, we gettin fatter
[Chorus]
