American Hunger (Lunch) Lyrics

MF Grimm - “American Hunger (Lunch)”
[Emcee(s): MF Grimm]
[Producer(s): Black Panther]
[Sample (Melody): Henry Mancini - “The Windmills of Your Mind” (0:23)]

[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
Friends are brothers, and enemies are twins
You love to hear the story again and again
Design so violent, make sure we don’t win
Fifteen minutes each to crash and burn
Exercise freedom of speech, they’ll trash your existence
Even skin bleached, you’re faced with resistance
So scared niggas, shut the fuck up and keep your distance
Instead of switching frequencies and focus on the mission
Trying to increase fan base by ass-kissing
Stupid motherfucker got shit on nose

Condoleeza’s in the White House, posing like she Mona
People of Sun turning polar, Ice Age
Burning again, frozen solar, solid
Like dogs, got people of color collared
Killing each other for a diamond—pardon me
I really meant to say “a dollar”
Mothers, all they can do is holler because
Genocide is killing future scholars

[Hook: MF Grimm] (x2)
When they’re hungry, they just
Eat us up (American Hunger)
Hate our kind, mad, want to
Beat us up (American Hunger)
These chains on our legs, they
Slow us up (American Hunger)
If they could, they would just
Blow us up (American Hunger)
[Verse 2: MF Grimm]
Rap beef fronting like they’re rowdy, fights set
Up like Ralph and Harvey, beef by-
-products taste like chicken. You need to stop
Bullshit, focus on children. I am
A warrior, no stranger to a killing. I know that
We’re not perfect, but who’s willing? Stop geno-
-cide, put together millions. Brothers need
To rise, combine and buy buildings, get kids
To school because we’re losing. Think shit
Is cool, the streets they’re choosing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
