Crooked I - Nobody Cares lyrics
rate meI got a question for you
When you see another human being
Who’s being treated worse than a disease
On his knees begging please for egg and cheese
Or anything to eat
Do you see as a test, that’s a lesson for me
Or do you move on say fuck’em, ignore’em
Can’t do nothing for’em
This is true let me count your blessings for you
You could be fighting hunger
Not the Gandhi type hunger
Strive fighting for something right
I mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in a third world
Fights everyday till her stomach is nothing but something
That her spine is hiding under
Only been alive 5 summers
Hunger pains her heart beating
Like some live drummers
It’s beating harder then she drop dead
Mama lost a daughter
Cause they ain’t got food and freaking water
Goddamn I shed a tear in the booth
Cause when I say it
I’m simultaneously hearing the truth
But do you care?
Are you there? Who cares?
I need to know if you care
We dying out here in the streets
Little kids they got nothing to eat
But 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 terror
Growing up in the hood
A small error in judgment
Can make your parents become some pallbearers
For nothing they saw Eric and he gangbanged
But they can’t aim
So them straight shots caught terror for nothing
Do you care or what?
Get involved get outta your chair
Stand the fuck up
Do something, don’t lay down and do nothing
Five rounds hit’em in the side now
Blunt paced the street to the shot town
Says the news woman
When is the truth coming?
Violence hit as new summit and a view from it allows
Us to see the youth plummet
Colostomy bags
Shots got teenagers rocking a new stomach
And I ain’t saying that this rapper’s perfect
But I’m strapped with purpose
Trying to get past these surgeons
And that emergency room
But if I don’t get past the casket service
Just write this shit on my tomb
Nobody cares
Who cares?
I need to know if you care
We dying out here in the streets
Little kids they got nothing to eat
But does anybody care?
Are you there? Who cares?
You need to see you in them out there
To care
We dying out here in the streets
Little kids they got nothing to eat
But does anybody care
Does anybody care?
I said we dying out here in the streets
We dying out here in the streets
Little kids they got nothing to eat
But does anybody care
Does anybody care?
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Does anybody care?
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Hold a lighter up high tonight
But does anybody care?
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Does anybody care?
Put a lighter in the sky tonight
Hold a lighter up high tonight
Anybody care?
Who’s there to care?
Do you see you and then my bad
To care
Are you there?
Who cares?
You need to see you and then my bad
To care
All places to the God almighty
I give a damn if nobody else does alright?
