When I Eat

Lyrics

[Chorus] When I eat, my whole family eat Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets Ain't nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it's deep Nothing is promised so you can't take it for granted, chief C'mon, hey [Verse 1] Never had a problem, showing love with what I got See I ain't never went without but never had a lot In my life, I knew to stack, learned one undisputed fact That if I had it once and lost it, I can get it back I think about the days when my money barely lasted When I couldn't buy a damn three dollar chicken basket And my homies, they was all up in the same boat Thank God I never had to slang dope Down with me, what's mine is yours Always ready when it's time for war Disrespect me, I'ma find your door You gon' feel more heat than an ironing board If you ain't loyal like I'm loyal, I'ma have to watch ya Man, it ain't nothing more trifling than a selfish partner [Chorus] When I eat, my whole family eat Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets Ain't nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it's deep Nothing is promised so you can't take it for granted, chief I hope y'all feel me When I ride, my whole family ride We coming after what belongs to us, won't be denied Where I'm from, paper and power's highly emphasized I love my folks so I'ma keep on helping them survive Feel what I'm saying, see [Verse 2] If I'm your boy, I'm your boy, that means I'm riding with ya 3am you call me stranded, I'ma come and get'cha When it's on, I'ma stand up for ya, right or wrong It's ten of them and two of us, you ain't gon' fight alone They try to keep us on the outside, we gon' blast the doors I got a plate of food and you hungry then half is yours Or we can grind and go get anything our cash affords You got the rock, you take the shot and I'll just crash the boards Too many people out for self, tryin' to fake the funk It's still in the same spot that they was in from jump Turn my back on y'all—that ain't the kind of man I am Never forgot who helped me out when I was in a jam [Chorus] When I eat, my whole family eat Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets Ain't nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it's deep Nothing is promised so you can't take it for granted, chief I hope y'all feel me When I ride, my whole family ride We coming after what belongs to us, won't be denied Where I'm from, paper and power's highly emphasized I love my folks so I'ma keep on helping them survive Feel what I'm saying, see [Verse 3] You got the kind that hang around you only when you shinin' Soon as you take a fall and lose it all then you can't find 'em They only in your presence when you doing something large It's a difference between your homeboys and a entourage These be the same ones that you helped and fed a lot But K-Rino your partner whether you got bread or not And it's a shame, only real soldiers have these ways Who willing to share what's made? Loyalty is rare these days He came through for you but you don't come when he in trouble You rather sit up on that money while your people struggle Won't give a dime to a homeless man, you let him suffer I got my folks covered, all of us done fed each other [Chorus] When I eat, my whole family eat Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets Ain't nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it's deep Nothing is promised so you can't take it for granted, chief I hope y'all feel me When I ride, my whole family ride We coming after what belongs to us, won't be denied Where I'm from, paper and power's highly emphasized I love my folks so I'ma keep on helping them survive Feel what I'm saying
