Food For Thought Lyrics

Imagine you're a rapper

They look at you for answers

Whenever there's disaster - they claim that you woke

Bring them all together

Share pain and laughter

Ask them to support you -they claim to be broke

Can't afford a stream, can't afford a tee

Can't afford to leave a comment, they ain't funding your dream

Shoulda picked a normal career

What you been up to this year

Pandemic, we locked up

It's your bars that they hear

What if all art [disappeared] echo effects x beat cut

Living in that world would be kinda weird

Limited expression

No-one to pay attention

To speak out and stand up for those who fear (Fear)

Prosecution, judgment, shame, pain

Violence, aggression, same thing

Been happening, over and over again

We ain't world leaders yet we inspire a change

Prosecution, judgment, shame, pain

Violence, aggression, same thing

Been happening, over and over again

We ain't world leaders yet you look at us the same

Food for thought

Need a whole course

I'm so hungry I could eat a whole horse

Don't offend the equestrians

Just a metaphor but we're sensitive

In this world that we're living in

(Living in, living in, living in, living in)

What kinda world are we living in?

(Living in, living in, living in, living in )

Imagine you're an observer

Of a world that is sick

Corrupt politics and cops don't give a shit

So when the virus hit

It's a government conspiracy

World so paranoid that you're convinced

You protest the masks

Police have a blast

Blasting at your ass just because you are Black

Then we protest that and the violence continues

It's the end of days do I have to convince you

Exposed the errors in our system

Don't benefit minorities, women or children

Killing ourselves but also the victims

Society crying out for help, we don't listen

Glued to our screens and televisions

Spreading the news but never follow up with actions

Those who speak up are overreacting

Flooding my feed with hashtags and acronyms

I'd rather white-out that blackout Tuesday

Y'all relax this isn't Doomsday

Tone policing is my forte

So I'll teach you how to do you, ok?

Food for thought

Need a whole course

I'm so hungry I could eat a whole horse

Don't offend the equestrians

Just a metaphor but we're sensitive

In the world this that we're living in

(Living in, living in, living in, living in)

What kinda world are we living in?

(Living in, living in, living in,living in )

Food for thought

Hold the fries on that

Food for thought

I might need a snack

Could I change the world if I ate a bat?

Imagine that
