SaeMonae - First World Problems lyrics

[Verse 1: SaeMonae] We complaining about these cracks in these roads in these streets When our future barely got enough food to eat Now that's food for thought Materials come and go But this life is all we got But we focused on the trends Who's hot and who's not As my heart beats through my chest My hands together praying on my knees as I rest Praying that the lord come take me away From this scary scary place Everyday I get closer and closer to being insane Yet they telling me that I'm the problem That I ain't never gonna solve it Cops picking fights like who we gonna brawl with The citizens is who they don't wanna go to war with We put our hands up but it's bullets that we fall with So stop complaining about your cracked screens There's babies out here losing their lives to crack dreams While we weeping over someone else's fruit of labor We the one's with the money shelter and the paper What do you do when it's too late to pray to your savior I guess we'll push it to the side and deal with it later [Chorus: SaeMonae and A.S.H.E.S. The Chosen] First World Problems (x2) No Gas in the tank We third world callin' First world problems (x2) No money in the bank We third world ballin' [Verse 2: A.S.H.E.S the CHOSEN] Tell Jesus pick up his phone… I'm in the studio Gettin' in my zone (Hello?) I been all over the world wit it (*echo - world wit it) They stories made up Cover Girl wit it (girl wit it) Don't let ‘em fool you They absurd wit it Brothas section on some take over the world sh** (Look, n***a) I don't like sh**… Yep, I'm on my Earl sh** Ain't nothing odd in my future n***a Cuz I earned it Gettin drunk wit a gypsy as she kiss me on my cheeks More afraid of polices then the leeches in these streets Pastor walkin' past us need to practice what he preach Got the whole thang backwards He react to what he see Like the Slavemaster White Jesus lookin' at ya' Lookin' like the crooked coper Send me to my grave faster Mr. Holier-than-Thou (Who)Tell me how I pray matter Is the one defending' cops as he watch our brain splatter Like that… Yeah...Like that I took some time off But a n***a right back A million public opinions from all f**in these minions All I hear is granny wisdom tellin me to just rap Like that [Chorus: SaeMonae and A.S.H.E.S. The Chosen] First World Problems (x2) No Gas in the tank We third world callin' First world problems (x2) No money in the bank We third world ballin'
