Slum Village - Hunger lyrics

rate me

Let’s take a journey to my heart

And find there the fire that was burning from the start

Just a hungry nigger with a humble beginning

It wasn’t how much time, it was how did I spent it

I spent it working on my craft, the bitches used to laugh

But they was blowing up my phone when I was firstly in the crowd

Remember first day in class, when I wanted to be a rapper

And everybody in the room bursted in laughter

But now I got doors mmm, record deals count my mails

And all I had to do is spit hard shit to pay my bills

Jumpin’ on this big stage and rocked it

And you’re still living the same, but not in this

And look it, I’m not a stick, just a …

Somehow I profited over this non-sense

Fuck what you did, but you do this in the present

‘cause words don’t mean shit, I wanna see evidence.

Between me and the next man getting it

I’m a tell you really what the difference is

I still got the hunger

When an all day cry from the fall to the winter and the spring

And I do it to the summer, yeah

I mean you never know

Words to be to the fall and will bring you under, yeah

And I do what I gotta do to show this guys I don’t lose, ‘cause it’s all about the hunger

Dreams are reality, you just got to get there

Took a long time, but look, mom, I got here

It’s been a struggle that I’ve been through

But in the end, you showed me it’s my first truth

I gotta sail with no … , just a tight circle

No ‘yes man’ and nobody that wanna hurt me

I kept them moving through the jungle of confusion

Living memories I wish were illusions

Remedy seemed so heavy then, they told me ‘give it up’

Joke’s on you, ha ha’ and now I live it up

I’m rocking stages, thousands with the V’s in their hands standing on chairs

I came the long way so I can tell on shows and open mic’s

But practice makes perfect, yo

Now I’m where I’m supposed to be, bet i get where I wanna be, in control of my own destiny

Between me and the next man getting it

I’m a tell you really what the difference is

I still got the hunger

When an all day cry from the fall to the winter and the spring

And I do it to the summer, yeah

I mean you never know

Words to be to the fall and will bring you under, yeah

And I do what I gotta do to show this guys I don’t lose, ‘cause it’s all about the hunger

Someone’s touching my back, hommie, you can see the ribs

I pissed I’m competing in the industry for the kids

And man I’m over here, coming here, not for all,

Tell the dummies that money ain’t what they used to be when you’re making them here

I wouldn’t do it any other way, though

I knew what I was gonna be before I was playing with ‘Play Dough’

I got what you need if you don’t hear, than I will make more

Then I come back to my role and I play more

Not one of you guys have the audacity to say ‘no’

Take a look at my eye, you will see that I am more than human,

I am hungry like a wild lion stalking his prade, yo

And I did it for some time until I got tired of NY and I moved out to LA, yo

Meeting with this stupid … ‘till I finally got a brake and I started working with trade, yo

Then the years were passing and I started drinking

I heard people laughing at me and I started thinking

That I hit the bottom in the wound spinning and shrinking

Now I’m meeting the … like the zombie all…

Get it?

I’m a beast no matter the facet

And despite the grace of the God I appear to the masses

The moral of the story is you will never see the things I saw

Until you spend some time looking at to my glasses

Between me and the next man getting it

I’m a tell you really what the difference is

I still got the hunger

When an all day cry from the fall to the winter and the spring

And I do it till the summer, yeah

I mean you never know

Words to be to the fall and will bring you under, yeah

And I do what I gotta do to show this guys I don’t lose, ‘cause it’s all about the anchor
