In this time and in this city
Cause my momma still hungry,
I'm gonna be a dad, ain't no baby,
Cause my momma still hungry,
when I faced my real struggles
God I abide, let me see them from inside
They try to keep me down, prolong my ride
then they start this money -grabbing
They're where we come from
and what they should be having
Can't even fly, ignore their upright
They leave you dry before you fly
To use what God made best in me
The sickle helped keep me focused
For these times in this city,
Because my mama still hungry,
Mama feel the pain but she
Sometimes I even wish she could share it
But it's time to relieve this stress
My mama deserves the best
to use what God made best in me
To fulfill my chorus, chorus
That's it, I'll help keep me focused
All these times in this city
Because my mama's still hungry
Don't try to break me down
