How you gone eat

you need to eat

but how you gone eat

how you gone

put clothes on your back

how you gone

put shoes on your feet

you gotta eat

ain't you gone eat

how you gone do that

there are some in the hood

who are eaten good

living downtown

but up to no good

how you gone eat

did you stay in school

or dropout like a fool

so you say Hov did it

that’s Hova

not Jahovah jireh

he won't provide for you

he got plenty of cars

but will he ride for you

you call him a god

but he won't die for you

how you gone eat

I'm talking to you

the one with all the tattoos

on your face and neck

where do you plan to go

to get a paycheck

you need to eat

but how you gone eat

I love cornbread and I like it

sweet I don't know you

well enough to

give you a piece

fend for yourself

you call yourself a beast

beast hunt for food

you like food too

but how you gone eat
