Lupe Fiasco - Gotta Eat

[Intro:]
I swear, I see this nigga, I'ma kill him! I'm goin' to kill him, so make a nigga suffer, knamsayin'?

[Chorus:]
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 1:]
Hey, he had a whole lotta cheese,
Plus he was a mack, had a whole lotta steez,
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 keys,
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 reals,
Some rich small fries wrapped in paper since they was lil',
Catch up, nigga!

[Chorus:]
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:]
He was a heartbreaker and a lawshaker,
If it was bout caking, he was a partaker,
International, he would take trips, bon voyage,
That's how hard he was fishin' for the chips.
‘So greedy he 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, then 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 standin' in line like...

[Chorus:]
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:]
Lovers call him king, haters call him clown,
He would say "Bite me, that's the way it's goin' 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 paddy wagon, said no,
Bacon wouldn't take him, half the pigs on the payroll, yah!

[Chorus:]
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.

[Outro:]
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, L.U.P.E.N.D. Yessir!

Yoo, so stupid!

My man said life ain't easy,
When niggas gotta eat, that's when shit get greasy.
