Nobody Cares - Crooked I/Tena Jones.mp3

[00:12.97]I got a question for you
[00:14.34]When you see another human being who's being treated worse than a disease
[00:17.95]On his knees, beggin' please, for egg and cheese
[00:20.42]Or anything to eat do you see his test as a lesson for you
[00:23.56]Or do you move on say "**** em", ignore em
[00:26.16]Can't do nothing for em, if this is true, let me count your blessings for ya
[00:29.62]You could be fighting hunger, not the Gandhi type hunger strike fighting for something right
[00:34.39]I mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in the third world
[00:37.90]Fights everyday 'til her stomach is nothing but something that her spine is hiding under
[00:42.22]Only been alive 5 summers
[00:42.42]Hunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummers
[00:47.19]It's beating harder, then she drop, died
[00:49.92]Momma lost a daughter cause they ain't have food and drinking water
[00:52.87]God damn I shed a tear in the booth
[00:55.20]Cause when I say it I'm simultaneously hearing the truth
[00:58.22]But do you care?
[00:59.38]I need to know if you care
[01:05.21]We dying out here in the streets
[01:07.13]Little kids, they got nothing to eat
[01:09.66]But does anybody care?
[01:10.43](Are you there?
[01:11.80]Who cares?
[01:14.69]You need to see you in them out there, to care.)
[01:22.20]Like Zero Dark Thirty we saw terror
[01:24.38]Growing up in the hood, a small error
[01:26.51]In judgement can make your parents become some pallbearers
[01:28.90]For nothing, they saw Eric and he gangbanged, but they can't aim
[01:32.76]So them straight shots caught Sarah for nothing, do you care what
[01:36.56]Get involved, get out of your chair, stand the **** up
[01:39.41]Do something, don't lie down and do nothin
[01:42.00]Five rounds, hit him in his side now
[01:44.08]Blood paints the streets of the Chitown since the news woman
[01:47.07]When is the truce coming?
[01:48.14]Violence hit a new summit
[01:49.51]And the view from it allows us to see the youth plummet
[01:52.45]Gotta be sad, colostomy bags, shots got teenagers rockin' a new stomach
[01:57.32]And I ain't saying that this rap was perfect
[01:59.75]But I'm strapped with purpose
[02:01.58]Trying to get past the surgeons in that emergency room
[02:04.26]But if I don't get past the casket service
[02:06.81]Just write this shit on my tomb
[02:08.42]Nobody care
[02:09.24]I need to know if you care
[02:15.53]We dying out here in the streets
[02:17.31]Little kids, they got nothing to eat
[02:19.59]But does anybody care?
[02:20.81](Are you there?
[02:23.19]Who cares?
[02:25.32]You need to see you in them out there, to care.)
[02:31.76]We dying out here in the streets
[02:35.40]Little kids, they got nothing to eat
[02:37.54]But does anybody care?
[02:38.96]Does anybody care?
[02:43.21]We dying out here in the streets
[02:47.22]Little kids, they got nothing to eat
[02:49.44]But does anybody care?
[02:51.68]Does anybody care?
[02:54.76]Put a lighter in the sky tonight, put a lighter in the sky tonight
[03:01.11]Put a lighter in the sky tonight, hold a lighter up high tonight
[03:07.42]Put a lighter in the sky tonight, put a lighter in the sky tonight
[03:13.37]Put a lighter in the sky tonight, hold a lighter up high tonight
