Gotta Eat

[Lupe Fiasco]
I swear, when I see this nigga, I'ma kill him
I'm, going, to kill him, slow, make a nigga suffer
Ya know what I'm sayin'


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit gets greasy
Streets be all like "Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit gets greasy
Streets be all like "Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy


[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
Hey, he had a whole lotta cheese
Plus he was a mack, had a whole lotta seeds
Made a lot of niggas fat, gave a whole lotta G's
Grams, man he had a whole lotta these
And he would let you hold like a whole lotta ki's
Even if you lose some, he would give you new ones
Twice the bread, it's like he had two buns
And he had a whole lotta seeds
Even his kids had meals, for real
Some rich small fries wrapped in paper since they was lil
Ketchup nigga


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like feed me feed me
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like feed me feed me
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy


[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
He was a heartbreaker and a large shaker
If it was bout cakin', he was a partaker
International, he would take trips,
Bon voyage, that's how hard he was fishin' for the chips
So greedy, never gave to the needy, that's what some say
The way he shunned all the bums, hangin' in the subways
He called them fruits and laugh at 'em
Delivery man, on the pick-up drivethrough and throw a bag at 'em
And it was hard to understand him sometimes
Makin' a killing, the way he had 'em standing in line


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like feed me feed me
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like feed me feed me
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy


[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco]
Lovers call him king, haters call him clown
He would say "Bite me", that's the way it's going down
He was havin' thoughts that maybe he should retire
Went to church on a Sunday and saw a deep friar
Said he had beef and people want him dead
He loved the hungry ones, was only scared of the feds
He lived the fast life, couldn't get his path right
Friar just told him 'bout the hooters that he had last night
Turned himself in to the paddywagon, said no
Bacon wouldn't take him, half the pigs on the payroll


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like feed me feed me
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy


[Lupe Fiasco]
To be continued, on another menu, ya dig?
Will he give up his life of crime or will he stay?
This, and other adventured on Lupe Fiasco's next album LupE.N.D.


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy
