Lupe Fiasco - Gotta Eat lyrics

I swear, if I see this nigga, I'mma kill him
I'm, going, to kill, him
So! Make a nigga suffer
You know what I'm saying?

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

Hey, he had a whole lot of cheese
Plus he was a mack, had a whole lot of steez
Made a lot of niggas fat
Gave a whole lot of Gs
Grams, man, he had a whole lot of these
And he would let you hold, like
A whole lot of 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 lot of seeds
Even his kids had meals for reals
Some rich small fries wrapped in
Paper since they was lil catch up, nigga

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

He was a heart breaker and a law shaker
If it was about caking, he was a partaker
International, he would take trips
Bon voyage
That's how hard he was fishing for the chips
So greedy, never gave to the needy
That's what some say
The way he shunned all the
Bums hanging in the subways
He called 'em fruit's and laughed at 'em
Delivery man, on the pick-up
Drive through and throw a bag at 'em
And it was hard to understand him sometimes
Making a killing
The way he had 'em standing in line like

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

Lovers call him King, haters call him Clown
He would say "Bite me
That's the way it's going down"
He was having 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
The Friar just told him 'bout the
Hooters that he had last night
"Turn yourself in to the paddy wagon"
Said "No" bacon wouldn't take him
Had the Pigs on the payroll

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

To be continued on another menu, ya dig?
Will he give up his life of
Crime or will he stay?
This and other adventures on
Lupe Fiasco's next album, lUPEND yezzir!
(Yo so stupid) my man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat
That's when shit get greasy hey
