[00:00:00] Eat To Live (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli

[00:00:03] Yeah this is a ghetto prayer

[00:00:06] Prayin' for all of those who ain't got it

[00:00:08] We gotta get it there we gotta get it here

[00:00:11] Yeah the people starvin' for somethin' new we starvin' for it

[00:00:23] My little man go to bed so hungry

[00:00:25] Get up go to school with his nose runny

[00:00:27] Come home with his nose bloody

[00:00:28] His sister laughin' he like "What's so funny "

[00:00:30] 'Til she drowned out by the sounds of hunger pains in his tummy

[00:00:33] Nuttin' in the freezer nuttin' in the fridge

[00:00:36] Couple of 40 ounces but nuttin' for the kids

[00:00:38] Little man know they to eat to live

[00:00:40] But he don't wanna leave the crib

[00:00:41] The kid who punched him in his face

[00:00:43] House right down the street from his

[00:00:44] He went anyway more scared to face his moms

[00:00:46] She'll beat him soon as she flip out seein' his face scarred

[00:00:49] Walkin' past the dope fiends with they smoke to the place of God

[00:00:51] Hopes and dreams pourin' out the holes in they face and arms

[00:00:54] Little man in the face of harm if he don't eat

[00:00:56] He need energy so when he go to school he can compete

[00:00:59] And keep up all he got is bodegas

[00:01:01] But hey he only got enough a for quarter water and a now or later

[00:01:04] Anyway grandma say Jesus'll be here any day

[00:01:07] Good 'cause with nuttin' to eat it's gettin' hard to pray

[00:01:10] Pray pray pray

[00:01:47] I get it how I live it's critical when the conditions allow you

[00:01:50] Do you entrust the critics who doubt you

[00:01:52] Try to write shit about you

[00:01:54] But they can't make a living without you

[00:01:55] Go hungry you gotta watch what the media feed you

[00:01:58] And don't be a poisoned animal eaten either

[00:02:00] It's harder than it sound 'cause nowadays

[00:02:02] Put that swine in everything

[00:02:03] The white sugar so addictive it's pure 'caine

[00:02:06] They got pork in the toothpaste soda in the Sunny D

[00:02:09] Jello brand gelatin is laced with the lecatin

[00:02:11] In Africa they starvin' over here the food hurt you

[00:02:14] Cows goin' mad and the chickens crunk with bird flu

[00:02:16] It's too ill how the food kills it's like blue steel

[00:02:19] Lies never set you free but the truth will

[00:02:22] The truth still matter the proof is in the batter or the pudding

[00:02:25] You can tell we eatin' good we gettin' fatter
