Artist: Crooked I f/ Tena Jones Album: Apex Predator Song: Nobody Cares Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Crooked I] Ay, I got a question for you When you see another human being who's bein 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 nothin for 'em? If this is true, let me count your blessings for you You could be fightin hunger Not the Gandhi type hunger strike fightin for somethin right I mean fightin the type of hunger a little girl in a third world fights every day, 'til her stomach is nothin but somethin that her spine is hidin under, only been alive five summers Hunger pains, her heart beatin like some live drummers It's beatin harder, then she drop, died, momma lost a daughter cause they ain't have food and drinkin water Goddamn, I shed a tear in the booth Cause when I say it I'm simultaneously hearin the truth But do you CARE? [Chorus: Crooked I] + (Tena Jones) (Caaaaaare) You out there? (I care) Louder! I need to know if you care We dyin out here on the streets Little kids, they got nothin to eat But does anybody care? (Are you therrrrrre?) You out there? (Who cares?) (You need to see you in them out there) Louder! (to care) [Crooked I] Like "Zero Dark Thirty" we saw terror Growin up in the hood, a small error in judgement can make your parents become some pallbearers for NUTTIN! They saw Eric and he gangbanged, but they can't aim So them straight shots caught Sarah for NUTTIN! Do you care or what? Get involved, get out of your chair, stand the fuck up Do somethin, don't lie down and do nuttin Five rounds hit him in his side now Blood paints the streets of the Chi-Town since the newswoman When is the truce comin? Violence hit a news 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 sayin that this rap was perfect But I'm strapped with purpose, tryin 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 care [Chorus] [Crooked I] We dyin out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothin to eat But does anybody care? Does anybody care? I said - we dyin out here in the streets Little kids, they got nothin to eat But does anybody care? Does anybody care? Uh 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 (does anybody care?) [Tena Jones] + (Crooked I) Oooh therrrrrre (you out there?) To care (louder!) Do you see you in them out there, to care (anybody care) Are you therrrrrre? (You out there?) Who cares? You need to see you in them out there (louder) to care [Outro: Crooked I] All praises due to God almighty I'll give a damn if nobody else don't, aight?
