Hungry Lyrics

Everybody out here so damn hungry

We sacrificed ourselves

We had to leave our hiding

Forever gone, ain't nothing but unhappy

The Blank American promised serenity

60 million and more

A stuck gray up-up empty door

Unspeakable things unspoken

The suffering brought us all down

But God makes sure it goes all around

Even though you don't hear your neighbor's sound

We can all reach out for Orion's Belt

With all of each other's help

Everybody out here so damn hungry

We sacrificed ourselves

We had to leave our hiding Forever gone

Ain't nothing but unhappy

The blank American promised serenity

I knew at a young age

10 years old

I had gel in my hair

I'm stomping out the savage brutal afro

Stay in your habitat bird cage

Leading me to white gold

Voyeur to your social norms

And only bad jokes to harrow

Imagine being black today

And fitting into white place

The story of our life's fate

You better just be grateful

Strutting down a blacktop

A nominal necklace on display

Poor Uncle Black Tom

Ain't got nothing, but some good to say

I want my kids in urban school

But don't never forget the unwritten rules

Did history trap us? Cuz I'm left here standing like a damn fool

We value stuff intrinsically

But look around you won't see

The commander gets to define here

And not the captured buccaneers

Everybody out here so damn hungry

We sacrificed ourselves, we had to leave our hiding

Forever gone, ain't nothing but unhappy

The Blank American promised serenity

60 million and more

A stuck gray up-up empty door

Unspeakable things unspoken

The suffering brought us all down

But God makes sure it goes all around

Even though you don't see your neighbor's sound

We can all reach out for Orion's Belt

With all of each other's help

We're on the horizon

But it ain't never gonna go away

But you get to define what it really means to be black today

The sweet secrets are not to be

Irreplaceable like we

Were bound to all our own unique

And not what people say to be

We ain't going nowhere

It's everybody's precious air

And one day it should all be fair

A grand dream into a nightmare

I'm giving all that up, cuz courage is more than wise blood

But it all came from love

To infinity and up above

No matter what we can't erase

We living out our thoughts fate

So go ahead and eat the steaks

Our dreams belong on Moby's plate

Have faith in your voice to lead

The greatest gift you'll ever need

And sometimes it's hard to find

25 years to find mine

Everybody out here so damn hungry

We sacrificed ourselves

We had to leave our hiding

Forever gone, ain't nothing but unhappy

The blank American promised serenity

60 million and more

A stuck gray up-up empty door

Unspeakable things unspoken

The suffering brought us all down

But God makes sure it goes all around

Even though you don't see your neighbor's sound

We can all reach out for Orion's Belt

With all of each other's help
