My mother said Before you eat take your hat off Tryna live by words Humbly blast off Always finish my plate She would say If I do, tomorrow won't bring rain Really thats all I ain't here for the mystery in me Don't wanna miss a beat I've been living on the cusp Skipping lunch, getting drunk, getting sober My hunger like a lover that I'm about to get over See the carpet wasn't red when I got here Blood burgundy by the time I'm up out here On the grind on a diner chair All my chicken hands are free range My side dish - MCP brains I've been cutting strings like I'm opening bridges
But I burn them all like I ain't got a coat in the winter Lights out in the kitchen while I whip this sh** up Didn't see much until I opened the fridge up You see all that hunting and gathering Ain't worth a damn if I don't run with the fam What's the use of moving up in the food chain If I don't make moves with the game for our mutual gain I ain't claim to invented the soup bowl (?) Just fill your mind with something beautiful My mom said sit your a** down the food is getting cold If you wanna grow baby you gotta chew slow
