When I Eat - K Rino

When I eat, my whole family eat

Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets

Ain’t nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it’s deep

Nothing is promised so you can’t take it for granted, chief

C’mon, hey

Never had a problem, showing love with what I got

See I ain’t never went without but never had a lot

In my life, I knew to stack, learned one undisputed fact

That if I had it once and lost it, I can get it back

I think about the days when my money barely lasted

When I couldn’t buy a damn three dollar chicken basket

And my homies, they was all up in the same boat

Thank God I never had to slang dope

Down with me, what’s mine is yours

Always ready when it’s time for war

Disrespect me, I’ma find your door

You gon' feel more heat than an ironing board

If you ain’t loyal like I’m loyal, I’ma have to watch ya

Man, it ain’t nothing more trifling than a selfish partner

When I eat, my whole family eat

Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets

Ain’t nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it’s deep

Nothing is promised so you can’t take it for granted, chief

I hope y’all feel me

When I ride, my whole family ride

We coming after what belongs to us, won’t be denied

Where I’m from, paper and power’s highly emphasized

I love my folks so I’ma keep on helping them survive

Feel what I’m saying, see

If I’m your boy, I’m your boy, that means I’m riding with ya

3am you call me stranded, I’ma come and get’cha

When it’s on, I’ma stand up for ya, right or wrong

It’s ten of them and two of us, you ain’t gon' fight alone

They try to keep us on the outside, we gon' blast the doors

I got a plate of food and you hungry then half is yours

Or we can grind and go get anything our cash affords

You got the rock, you take the shot and I’ll just crash the boards

Too many people out for self, tryin' to fake the funk

It’s still in the same spot that they was in from jump

Turn my back on y’all—that ain’t the kind of man I am

Never forgot who helped me out when I was in a jam

When I eat, my whole family eat

Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets

Ain’t nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it’s deep

Nothing is promised so you can’t take it for granted, chief

I hope y’all feel me

When I ride, my whole family ride

We coming after what belongs to us, won’t be denied

Where I’m from, paper and power’s highly emphasized

I love my folks so I’ma keep on helping them survive

Feel what I’m saying, see

You got the kind that hang around you only when you shinin'

Soon as you take a fall and lose it all then you can’t find ‘em

They only in your presence when you doing something large

It’s a difference between your homeboys and a entourage

These be the same ones that you helped and fed a lot

But K-Rino your partner whether you got bread or not

And it’s a shame, only real soldiers have these ways

Who willing to share what’s made?

Loyalty is rare these days

He came through for you but you don’t come when he in trouble

You rather sit up on that money while your people struggle

Won’t give a dime to a homeless man, you let him suffer

I got my folks covered, all of us done fed each other

When I eat, my whole family eat

Peace to my partners that was with me when I ran the streets

Ain’t nothin' easy in this jungle, understand it’s deep

Nothing is promised so you can’t take it for granted, chief

I hope y’all feel me

When I ride, my whole family ride

We coming after what belongs to us, won’t be denied

Where I’m from, paper and power’s highly emphasized

I love my folks so I’ma keep on helping them survive

Feel what I’m saying
