Food For Thought by KTheChosen Lyrics
V1
Imagine you're a rapper
They look at you for answers
Whenever there's disaster - they claim that you woke
Bring them all together
Share pain and laughter
Ask them to support you -they claim to be broke
Can't afford a stream, can't afford a tee
Can't afford to leave a comment,they ain't funding your dream
Shoulda picked a normal career
What you been up to this year
Pandemic, we locked up
It's your bars that they hear
What if all art disappeared?
Living in that world would be kinda weird
Limited expression
No-one to pay attention
To speak out and stand up for those who fear
Prosecution, judgment, shame, pain
Violence, aggression, same thing
Been happening, over and over again
We ain't world leaders yet we inspire a change
Prosecution, judgment, shame, pain
Violence, aggression, same thing
Been happening, over and over again
We ain't world leaders yet you look at us the same
Hook
Food for thought
Need a whole course
I'm so hungry I could eat a whole horse
Don't offend the equestrians
Just a metaphor but we're sensitive
In this world that we're living in
(living in, living in, living in,living in,living in,living in)
What kinda world are we living in?
(living in, living in, living in,living in, living in,living in )

Imagine you're an observer
Of a world that is sick
Corrupt politics and cops don’t give a shit
So when the virus hit
It's a government conspiracy
World so paranoid that you're convinced
You protest the masks
Police have a blast
Blasting at your ass just because you are Black
Then we protest that and the violence continues
It's the end of days do I have to convince you
Exposed the errors in our system
Don't benefit minorities, women or children
Killing ourselves but also the victims
Society crying out for help, we don't listen
Glued to our screens and televisions
Spreading the news but never follow up with actions
Those who speak up are overreacting
Flooding my feed with hashtags and acronyms
I'd rather white-out that blackout Tuesday
Y'all relax this isn't Doomsday
Tone policing is my forte
So I'll teach you how to do you, ok?
Hook
Food for thought
Need a whole course
I'm so hungry I could eat a whole horse
Don't offend the equestrians
Just a metaphor but we're sensitive
In the world this that we're living in
(living in, living in, living in,living in, living in,living in)
What kinda world are we living in?
(living in, living in, living in,living in, living in,living in )

Food for thought
Hold the fries on that
Food for thought
I might need a snack
Could I change the world if I ate a bat?
Imagine that
Imagine you're a rapper
They look at you for answers
Whenever there's disaster - they claim that you woke
Bring them all together
Share pain and laughter
Ask them to support you -they claim to be broke
Can't afford a stream, can't afford a tee
Can't afford to leave a comment,they ain't funding your dream
