When I Eat

[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
