Hunger in My Stomach

Leavin' all my pain in the rear view
'Cause I don't wanna deal with it
Got more problems than 99, I wish that it was 99
So I could make some time for mom and I
And breath some more for my kinfolk
But I'm stuck out here in the real world
And you're God damn right I've been broke
So I'm gettin' it, I'm livin' it
And when shit pops off I deal with it
And I learned real quick how to be a man
When I was livin' in my truck eatin' Peter Pan
And it's not real far from where I'm at
I remember that, gettin' paid with rap, now imagine that
I'm a brand new man put the truck in drive, I packed my bags
And if you're not shotgun I'm good with it, I can ride solo
I'ma die alone, I don't need nobody but my fuckin' self
I'ma ride this shit like a rodeo
I got more room in my resume, goin' worldwide
Gettin' paid today, gettin' criticized and I'm real irate
But they can never really take my bars away
'Cause I'm breathin' them, and I believe in them
And I'm rappin' all my stress away
Photo-shop the scars on my heart
It'll beat a little better but the pain will stay
And I'm never turnin' back from the road I've come
I stand by all that shit the same, and I'll take the blame
'Cause I lit the flame, and if you stand in the way, I'm takin' aim

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye

Only one thing that I truly know and that's never give my pain away
'Cause I can bare what a man, normally can't
And if all were to fall, I'd lay awake
And I'd toss and I'd turn to the 808 of my heart beating like a drum
And I'd go with it, and I'd roll with it
'Cause I'm alive and I drive on the road with it
From the pen, to the pad, to the booth, to the fans
I'm livin' in my glory days, I'm kickin' it up on the cloud nine
Figurin' out what my story say
From the Blue Lagoon to The Fire in Philly
My boot prints on that fuckin' map
And you can bet your ass it took a lot of hard work
From the needle in my arm to the beat of my heart, lets go

I want my moment, I'm wanderin' and I'm roamin'
I'ma ride it like I stole it, I'm a real fuckin' problem
I'ma, rock star, and a modern day outlaw
We're at war if you're prayin' for my downfall
I know I'm chosen, I'm open to any omen
A showman, and my component is that I'ma broken poet
I'ma rock star, and a modern day outlaw
We're at war if you're prayin' for my downfall

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye

I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye
I got a wallet in my pocket, a dollar for my soul
Prayin' for tomorrow, livin' on the road
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye

This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
This hunger in my stomach, is keepin' me alive
Avoidin' every moment that I gotta say goodbye
