Nobody Cares - Crooked I, Tena Jones

Ay, I got a question for you

When you see another human being who’s being treated worse than a disease

On his knees, beggin' please, for egg and cheese

Or anything to eat, do you see his test as a lesson for you?

Or do you move on?

Say «Fuck em», ignore 'em

Can’t do nothing for 'em, if this is true, let me count your blessings for you

You could be fighting hunger, not the Gandhi type hunger strike fighting for

something right

I mean fighting the type of hunger a little girl in the third world

Fights everyday 'til her stomach is nothing but something that her spine is

hiding under

Only been alive five summers

Hunger pains, her heart beating like some live drummers

It’s beating harder, then she drop, died

Mama lost a daughter 'cause they ain’t have food and drinking water

God damn I shed a tear in the booth

'Cause when I say it I’m simultaneously hearing the truth

But do you care?

Who care?

I need to know if you care

We dying out here in the streets

Little kids, they got nothing to eat

But does anybody care?

Are you there?

Who cares?

You need to see you in them out there, to care

Like Zero Dark Thirty we saw terror

Growing up in the hood, a small error

In judgement can make your parents become some

Pallbearers

For nothing, they saw Eric and he gangbanged, but they can’t aim

So them straight shots caught Sarah for nothing

Do you care or what?

Get involved, get out of your chair, stand the fuck up

Do something, don’t lie down and do nothin'

Five rounds hit him in his side now

Blood paints the streets of the Chitown since the news woman

When is the truce coming?

Violence hit a new summit

And the view from it allows us to see the youth

Plummet

Gotta be sad, colostomy bags, shots got teenagers rockin' a new stomach

And I ain’t saying that this rap was perfect

But I’m strapped with purpose

Trying to get past the surgeons in that emergency room

But if I don’t get past the casket service

Just write this shit on my tomb, «Nobody cared»

Who care?

I need to know if you care

We dying out here on the streets

Little kids, they got nothing to eat

But does anybody care?

Are you there?

Who cares?

You need to see you in them out there, to care

We dying out here in the streets

Little kids, they got nothin' to eat

But does anybody care?

Does anybody care?

I say, we dying out here in the streets

Little kids, they got nothin' to eat

But does anybody care?

Does anybody care?

Put a lighter in the sky tonight

Put a lighter in the sky tonight (Does anybody care?)

Put a lighter in the sky tonight

Hold a lighter up high tonight (But does anybody care?)

Put a lighter in the sky tonight

Put a lighter in the sky tonight (Does anybody care?)

Put a lighter in the sky tonight

Hold a lighter up high tonight (But does anybody care?)

Who’s there to care?

Do you see you in them out there, to care?

Are you there?

Who cares?

You need to see you in them out there, to care

All praise is due to God almighty

I’ll give a damn, if nobody else don’t alright?
