The Hand That Feeds

They got the power to feed, then they can starve They'd rather see you on yo knees, than see you ball And everything ain't what it seems We seen it all And when it come to getting cheese We need it all If they got the power to feed, then they can starve They'd rather see you on yo knees, than see you ball And everything ain't what it seems We seen it all And when it come to getting cheese We need it all We gotta carve this shit out, ain't no other way Imma starve if I'm sitting waiting for a plate In the car, hittin' missions every other day I'm in Long Beach, it's 30 minutes to LA Imma finna skate Man I'm politicin with the greats Makin' plays get the money, then get the out the way Have you had the feeling that you cant escape? Ever dreamed about a million then woke up and prayed? Shed tears with yo baby looking at yo face Living wit yo moms, knowing that you need a place I relate Everything I am is what I say I take the joy wit the pain like Beverly maze Sunshine and the rain, it's leveled the same Maintain, maintain, ahead the game What you think bro? I can't afford to take a L, so I'm in beast mode If everything fails who gonna make sure that we eat though?
