Nobody Cares

I got a question for you

When you see another human being who's being treated worse than a disease

On his knees, beggin' please, for egg and cheese

Or anything to eat do you see his test as a lesson for you

Or do you move on say "fuck em", ignore em

Can't do nothing for em, if this is true, let me count your blessings for ya

You could be fighting hunger, not the Gandhi type hunger strike fighting for something right

I mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in the third world

Fights everyday 'til her stomach is nothing but something that her spine is hiding under

Only been alive 5 summers

Hunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummers

It's beating harder, then she drop, died

Momma lost a daughter ause they ain't have food and drinking water

God damn I shed a tear in the booth

Cause when I say it I'm simultaneously hearing the truth

But do you care?

I need to know if you care

We dying out here in the streets

Little kids, they got nothing to eat

But does anybody care?

(Are you there?

Who cares?

You need to see you in them out there, to care.)

Like Zero Dark Thirty we saw terror

Growing up in the hood, a small error

In judgement can make your parents become some pallbearers

For nothing, they saw Eric and he gangbanged, but they can't aim

So them straight shots caught??? for nothing, do you care what

Get involved, get out of your chair, stand the fuck up

Do something, don't lie down and do nothin

Five rounds, hit him in his side now

Blood paints the streets of the Chitown since the news [?]

When is the truce coming?

Violence hit a new summit

And the view from it allows us to see the youth plummet

Gotta be sad, colostomy bags, shots got teenagers rockin' a new stomach

And I ain't saying that this rap was perfect

But I'm strapped with purpose

Trying to get past the surgeons in that emergency room

But if I don't get past the casket service

Just write this shit on my tomb

Nobody care

We dying out here in the streets

Little kids, they got nothing to eat

But does anybody care?

Does anybody care?

Put a lighter in the sky tonight, put a lighter in the sky tonight

Put a lighter in the sky tonight, hold a lighter up high tonight
