i swear i see this nigguh imma kill him
im going to kill him so make a nigguh suffer
ya know what im sayin
man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
hey he had a whole lotta cheese
plus he was a mac had a whole lotta steeds
made a lot of nigguhs fat
gave a whole lotta g's
grams man he had a whole lotta these
and he would let you hold like a whole lotta keys
even if you lose some he would give you new ones
twice the bread its liek he had two buns
and he had a whole lotta seeds
even his kids had mills for reals
some rich small fries wrappin paper since they was lil.
man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
he was a heartbreaker and a __ shaker
if it was bout cakin he was a part taker
international he would take trips bon voyage
thats __ hard he was fishin for the chips
so greedy he never gave to the needy
thats what some say
the way he shunned all the bums hangin in the subways
he called them fruits then laughed at em
delivery man on the pick-up drive through
and throw a bag at em
and it was hard to understand him sometimes
makin a killin the way he had em standin in line
man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
lovers call him king haters call him clown
he would say bite me thats the way its going down
he was having thoughts that maybe he should retire
went to church on sunday and saw a __
said he had beef and people want him dead
he loved the hungry ones was only scared of affairs
he lived the fast life couldnt get his path right
___ just told him bout the hooters that he had last night
turned himself in to the pattywagon, said no
bacon wouldnt take him half the pigs on the payroll
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
to be continued on another menu ya dig.
will he give up his life of crime or will he stay?
this, and other adventured on lupe fiasco's next album LUPN
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
streets be all like feed me feed me
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
my man said life aint easy
when nigguhs gotta eat thats when shit gets greazy
