I got a question for youWhen you see another human being who's being treated worse than a diseaseOn his knees, beggin' please, for egg and cheeseOr anything to eat do you see his test as a lesson for youOr do you move on say "fuck em", ignore emCan't do nothing for em, if this is true, let me count your blessings for yaYou could be fighting hunger, not the Gandhi type hunger strike fighting for something rightI mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in the third worldFights everyday 'til her stomach is nothing but something that her spine is hiding underOnly been alive 5 summersHunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummersIt's beating harder, then she drop, diedMomma lost a daughter ause they ain't have food and drinking waterGod damn I shed a tear in the boothCause when I say it I'm simultaneously hearing the truthBut do you care?I need to know if you careWe dying out here in the streetsLittle kids, they got nothing to eatBut does anybody care?(Are you there?Who cares?You need to see you in them out there, to care.)Like Zero Dark Thirty we saw terrorGrowing up in the hood, a small errorIn judgement can make your parents become some pallbearersFor nothing, they saw Eric and he gangbanged, but they can't aimSo them straight shots caught??? for nothing, do you care whatGet involved, get out of your chair, stand the fuck upDo something, don't lie down and do nothinFive rounds, hit him in his side nowBlood paints the streets of the Chitown since the news [?]When is the truce coming?Violence hit a new summitAnd the view from it allows us to see the youth plummetGotta be sad, colostomy bags, shots got teenagers rockin' a new stomachAnd I ain't saying that this rap was perfectBut I'm strapped with purposeTrying to get past the surgeons in that emergency roomBut if I don't get past the casket serviceJust write this shit on my tombNobody careWe dying out here in the streetsLittle kids, they got nothing to eatBut does anybody care?Does anybody care?Put a lighter in the sky tonight, put a lighter in the sky tonightPut a lighter in the sky tonight, hold a lighter up high tonight
