Food Lyrics - Kanye West

1 [Chorus - Kanye West]

2 I walked in the crib, got two kids

3 And my baby mama late (uh oh! uh oh! uh oh!)

4 So I had to did, what I had to did

5 Cause I had to get (duh-ough! duh-ough! duh-ough!)

6 I'm up all night, getting my money right

7 Until the blue and white (po po! po po! po po!)

8 Now the money coming slow, but a least a nigga know

9 Slow motion better than (no-oh! no-oh! no-oh!)

10 [Verse - Common]

11 You love to hear the story, again and again

12 About these young brothers, from the City of Wind

13 Like juice and gin, in the city we blend

14 Amongst the hustle, titties and skin, fifties and rims

15 Y'all know the Sprewells and trucks that's detailed

16 Heartless females that wanna ride in em

17 Felt the southside venom in raw hides and denim

18 Pimp minds collide wit em, a system that tries victims

19 We living in, my man in the fast lane pivoting

20 On the block white is selling like Eminem

21 On the block it "Jump Off" like Kim and them

22 On the block it's hot, you can feel it, in your skin and then

23 Shorties get the game but no instructions to assembling

24 Eyes bright, it seems like the fight is dimming them

25 Call my man cuzo, like I'm kin to him

26 He trying to stay straight, the streets is bending him

27 [Chorus]

28 [Verse - Common]

29 It's all good in the hood, like raps and gems

30 Throwbacks and Timbs, blacks and rims

31 Whether on ball courts, attires of all sorts

32 We never fall short, wit us it's our Force like And 1's

33 Some waves, some air guns, the days of the fair one is over for

34 Cats is colder than four below, wit self I go toe to toe

35 Wondering if it's for the art or for the doe

36 Though I know to grow a nigga gotta learn to let go

37 Though I know the doe I got to bring back to the ghetto

38 Arrows on Terot cards pointing to the grind

39 Po' livin in more prisons, pointing to my mind, shine the light up

40 Clench my fists tight, holding the right up

41 Freedom fight in dark gear for the years to get brighter

42 Situations, and jobs get tighter

43 My man trying to get his weight and height up, c'mon!

44 [Chorus]

45 [Bridge - Kanye West]

46 I - I know I could make it right

47 If I could just swallow my pride

48 But I can't run away or put my gun away

49 You can't front on me

50 I - no I can't let it ride

51 No no not tonight

52 See I can't run away or put my gun away

53 You can't front on me

54 [Verse - Common]

55 I break bread wit thieves and pastors, OG's and masters

56 Emcees and actors that seize and capture

57 Moments like the camcorder

58 You ain't killin it, yo that's man-slaughter

59 Though paper can't change a man's aura

60 It can feed a man's daughter

61 I stand for the blue collar, on the side making a few dollars

62 Like Sam Jack they maneuver through drama like

63 [Bridge - repeat 2x]
