American Hunger (Breakfast)

Lyrics

MF Grimm - "American Hunger (Breakfast)" [Emcee(s): MF Grimm] [Producer(s): Craig Rip] [Scratches: Craig Rip] [Hook: Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip and MF Grimm] [Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip] "Trapped in the belly of The Beast" [MF Grimm] Trying to get regurgitated 'cause I am the feast [Verse 1: MF Grimm] For hundreds of years and infinite tears, with No remorse, they took us all to War. I was told, "You're a sinner. To become A winner, then you must put faith in The Lord." I do not choose to lead you Astray, but, for me, bread don't help no More [Bridge 1: MF Grimm] Over here, we Eat our young (American Hunger) Vegetarians are Bloodthirsty (American Hun-) Oh no [Hook: Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip and MF Grimm] [Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip] "Trapped in the belly of The Beast" [MF Grimm] And it's a fight to get released [Verse 2: MF Grimm] Damn, it's hard being black in America We're under attack in America In the belly, causing gas to America Start shit, come out the ass of America They don't want us here, they Hunt us here, lynch mobs kick in our Doors. They torture us as our Women and our children watch in Awe. 2008, not just Black anymore, new objective: target Poor, those who resist, raise up A fist. Yes, blood must be spilt on Floor. Down they gun us, over- -run us, anything to have con- -trol, and, on Judgment Day, when All pay, may God have mercy on their Souls. In the media, we're Portrayed evil, constantly get Dissed. We're not wanted here, an Orphan raised just like Oliver Twist. You had rations. You want Lashings? Leave. You're getting on my Nerve. Stomach growling, I'm still Hungry. May I please have some more Sir? [Bridge 2: MF Grimm] Spoon-fed geno- -cide they feed me (American Hunger) Proper etiquette, they Choose the needy (American Hun-) Oh no [Hook: Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip and MF Grimm] [Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip] "Trapped in the belly of The Beast" [MF Grimm] And it's a fight to get released [Verse 3: MF Grimm] I'm trying not to lose my mind Financial concussions bruise my mind. Kept In dark, The Beast wanna crush me if I shine Food for thought. Starve, everything's Fine. They'll let you burn. "When you gonna Learn? We don't trust you, you're a Threat." They will make it look gang- -related when they want to leave you Wet. Want us all to fall, they Hate our guts, we don't deserve to Live. Drain us of our souls Hearts are cold, we have no more to Give. Misery really loves Company, we're living under Stress. These animals are can- -nibals, drink my blood and eat my Flesh [Bridge 3: MF Grimm] They stole me. Now a Slave, they sold me (American Hunger) Serpent lurking, victims Swallowed whole (American Hun-) Oh no [Hook: Sample with Scratches by Craig Rip] "Trapped in the belly of The Beast" (x2)
