Hunger In My Stomach

(album: The Foundation - 2016)

Leaving all my pain in the rear view
'Cause I don't wanna deal with it
Got more problems than 99, I wish that it was 99
So I could make some time for mom and I
And breath some more for my kinfolk
But I'm stuck out here in the real world
And you're God damn right I've been broke
So I'm getting it, I'm living it
And when shit pops off I deal with it
And I learned real quick how to be a man
When I was living in my truck eating Peter Pan
And it's not real far from where I'm at
I remember that, getting paid with rap, now imagine that
I'm a brand new man put the truck in drive, I packed my bags
And if you're not shotgun I'm good with it, I can ride solo
I'ma die alone, I don't need nobody but my fucking self
I'ma ride this shit like a rodeo
I got more room in my resume, going worldwide
Getting paid today, getting criticized and I'm real irate
But they can never really take my bars away
'Cause I'm breathing them, and I believe in them
And I'm rapping all my stress away
Photo-shop the scars on my heart
It'll beat a little better but the pain will stay
And I'm never turning back from the road I've come
I stand by all that shit the same, and I'll take the blame
'Cause I lit the flame, and if you stand in the way, I'm taking aim

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye

Only one thing that I truly know and that's never give my pain away
'Cause I can bare what a man, normally can't
And if all were to fall, I'd lay awake
And I'd toss and I'd turn to the 808 of my heart beating like a drum, and I'd go with it, and I'd roll with it
'Cause I'm alive and I drive on the road with it
From the pen, to the pad, to the booth, to the fans
I'm living in my glory days I'm kicking it up on the cloud nine
Figuring out what my story say
From the Blue Lagoon to The Fire in Philly
My boot prints on that fucking map
And you can bet your ass it took a lot of hard work
From the needle in my arm to the beat of my heart, let's go

I want my moment, I'm wandering and I'm roaming
I'ma ride it like I stole it, I'm a real fucking problem
I'ma, rock star, and a modern day outlaw
We're at war if you're praying for my downfall
I know I'm chosen, I'm open to any omen
A showman, and my component is that I'ma broken poet
I'ma rock star, and a modern day outlaw
We're at war if you're praying for my downfall

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Praying for tomorrow, living on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye

This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
This hunger in my stomach, is keeping me alive
Avoiding every moment that I gotta say goodbye
