Food Clothes and Shelter
Dead Prez

[sticman]

Yeah...for all my peoples that's hungry

[chorus]

A nigga need food, ya got to have food for ya health

And clothes, gear to keep a steam for yaself

Son, shelter, a place to lay for rest when ya stressed

Over life, 'cause it's trife and aint no god gon help ya

[sticman]

I feel the winter heart creepin...vicious as the wind, which is life,

when it's deep without a meanin...a trife scene it screams

Niggas fiendin...the pipe dream and some be seemin

like the only way to keep breathin in the slums...but nothing comes

And keeping funds is like dreamin...

my situation no solution...even the young become demons

Where I'm from shit is unyielding...Something like three-hundred million

gun wielding black rats trapped in one building

With low ceilings...and no feelings...

cutthroat villains... Dope dealings...and glossy eyed pavilions

Sunken faces...and powder traces...

My people slave for the basics...the powerless devoured in the matrix

Of politics, pimps and glass pipes...

From gun blast and flickin off blunt ash...the cash heist

The fast life... where the have-nots rule

Stick and grab plots...toting tools, victim last by some jewels

Round the world, we stay stuck in capsules...shackled

And crackas got homes like castles

I figure the only way this nigga got to go is wild

Plottin licks for liberation...stockin cap style

[chorus x2]

[m-1]

I was born in the storm hearin gun clap from thunder

See my childhood peers...catchin years by the number

I wake up from hunger...try to lift my stress that I'm under

How I made it this far makes me wonder

You in a fight for ya life, for basic human rights

Can't afford the boomin prices...it's economic crisis

Life is a sacrifice, I'm down to my last bag of rice

They forcin us to live like laboratory mice

Like fuckin laboratory mice that's right

You wear the camaflouge...but do u choose to live the soldiers life

I told u before this is a war not a play fight

Taught to be a slave from the womb to the gravesite

Some of us even share the views of the Kaina Knights

Tryna be white...but they gon lose in this game of life

So dead that! I tie my dread back and scheme...

Put a star on my red black and green...

[chorus x2]

[bridge]

What do power mean, our team

seem to think it means sour cream

'cause our dreams got us fiendin for the power son

And huey p said political power come from the barrel of the gun

What do power mean, I believe in thieving

And smoking weed, 'cause everything happens for a reason

I hope my seed grow up and get even, it's open season

And if you poor and black, you know the reason...yeah
