Food For Thought

Imagine you're a rapper They look at you for answers Whenever there's disaster, they claim that you woke Bring them all together Share pain and laughter Ask them to support you, they claim to be broke Can't afford a stream, can't afford a tee Can't afford to leave a comment, they ain't funding your dream Shoulda picked a normal career What you been up to this year?
