Crooked I - Nobody Cares lyrics

(feat. Tena Jones) [Verse 1] I got a question for you When you see another human being who's being treated worse than a disease On his knees, beggin' please, for egg and cheese Or anything to eat do you see his test as a lesson for you Or do you move on say "f** em", ignore em Can't do nothing for em, if this is true, let me count your blessings for ya You could be fighting hunger, not the Gandhi type hunger strike fighting for something right I mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in the third world Fights everyday 'til her stomach is nothing but something that her spine is hiding under Only been alive 5 summers Hunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummers It's beating harder, then she drop, died Momma lost a daughter cause they ain't have food and drinking water God damn I shed a tear in the booth Cause when I say it I'm simultaneously hearing the truth But do you care? [Hook: Crooked I & Tena Jones] I need to know if you care We dying out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothing to eat But does anybody care? (Are you there? Who cares? You need to see you in them out there, to care.) [Verse 2] Like Zero Dark Thirty we saw terror Growing up in the hood, a small error In judgement can make your parents become some pallbearers For nothing, they saw Eric and he g**ned, but they can't aim So them straight shots caught [?] for nothing, do you care what Get involved, get out of your chair, stand the f** up Do something, don't lie down and do nothin Five rounds, hit him in his side now Blood paints the streets of the Chitown since the news [?] When is the truce coming? Violence hit a new summit And the view from it allows us to see the youth plummet Gotta be sad, colostomy bags, shots got teenagers rockin' a new stomach And I ain't saying that this rap was perfect But I'm strapped with purpose Trying to get past the surgeons in that emergency room But if I don't get past the casket service Just write this sh** on my tomb Nobody care [Hook] [Outro] We dying out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothing to eat But does anybody care? Does anybody care? [x2] Put a lighter in the sky tonight, put a lighter in the sky tonight Put a lighter in the sky tonight, hold a lighter up high tonight [x2]
