Hungry (Million Reasons) [Live Version]

Ain't nobody coming to feed you baby

Are you hungry?

Got wars on the Northside shots go

Never was reppin just poor

Broke down apartment 1 floor

No friend on my block only guest a roach

Never gripped chrome but the raid let it spray

Childhood sheltered cause my mama was afraid

Didn't want the streets watching Arthur everyday

Praying no bullet hit the couch where I lay for my fate

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it

All hand me downs, never knew clothing lines

Kids targeting me, 0 ppl by my side

I was 10 years contemplating suicide

Channel 9 was the only thing keeping me alive

And the black kids claiming that I wannabe white

And the white kids joking bout my skin & our plight

28 & I know both of em wasn't right

And there's only 1 me so I'll go for what I like

I'm hungry

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it

Gotta make it now

Gotta make it now

When I get it no Diddy, can't take dat now

All my life I dealt with blending in crowds

Necks cramp, jaws drop when I open my mouth

Lil shy boy Abe grew up and got loud

Imma King right here I'll declare my crown

Cause they tried to belittle like I'm not ornamental

iPad or a pencil, bars straight from the mental

Every word sentimental

I don't need to pay you to write about the shit I been thru

I came face to face with myself in the mirror see it clearly

I got more people that don't wanna hear me

Than the people who gon rotate my EP

All good my reflection still royal

If I be my only fan then I'm loyal

No leaks except when I'm bearing my soul

Lil 10 year old me I got you bro

Let's go, I affirm every bill paid (yes)

That my name travel further than interstates (yes)

That these itty bitty **** tryna blockade

Me from my own dreams, may their path stray

Cause I did that enough in my own brain (facts)

May my accolades put a smile on mama face

Gotta make it for the sacrifices she made

For the lack of sacrifices that my dad made

Damn shame

But I'm no disgrace, I was designed to be great

I'm talking deeper than fame, deeper than pain

Deeper than potholes on Hall Street

I'm in my lane to create

Fuck can you say

To a melanated introvert labeled everything on page

Ain't no mistakes, I've been misunderstood too long it's time that I speak for my name

My name is Abe

I got my ancestors with me

I got Nigeria in me

This more than making Wu Tang Cream

Legacy run through my bloodstream

I ain't got no more to say, until I'm back to say some mo

I'm staying humble, but just so you know when we meet

You speaking to a fucking future goat lala

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it

Got a million reasons why I gotta make it make it
