Nobody Cares

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Crooked I] Ay, 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 you 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 five summers Hunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummers It's beating harder, then she drop, died Mama lost a daughter 'cause 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? [Chorus: Crooked I & Tena Jones] Who 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 [Verse 2: Crooked I] 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 Sarah for nothing Do you care or 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 woman 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 cared" [Chorus: Crooked I & Tena Jones] Who care? I need to know if you care We dying out here on 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 [Interlude: Crooked I] We dying out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothin' to eat But does anybody care? Does anybody care? I say, we dying out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothin' to eat But does anybody care? Does anybody care? [Bridge: Crooked I] Put a lighter in the sky tonight Put a lighter in the sky tonight (Does anybody care?) Put a lighter in the sky tonight Hold a lighter up high tonight (But does anybody care?) Put a lighter in the sky tonight Put a lighter in the sky tonight (Does anybody care?) Put a lighter in the sky tonight Hold a lighter up high tonight (But does anybody care?) [Chorus: Tena Jones] Who's there to care? Do you see you in them out there, to care? Are you there? Who cares? You need to see you in them out there, to care [Outro: Crooked I] All praise is due to God almighty I'll give a damn, if nobody else don't alright?
