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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pray pray pray[00:01:10]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:01:15]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:01:17]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:01:20]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:01:22]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:01:25]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:01:27]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:01:30]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live listen[00:01:33]

My rhymes got nutritional value[00:01:45]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In order to receive then we need to give[00:02:37]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:02:40]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:02:42]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:02:45]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:02:47]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live[00:02:50]

In order to receive then we need to give[00:02:52]

We gotta feed the kids they gotta eat to live listen[00:02:55]
