lets pretend that this hip hop nation was an actual country   with politicians, players, prostitues and junkies   everyones out here just trying to get their money   which category do i get to fit in?   see im not a politician even tho ive got the politics   all i represent is my own personal policies   ive got my opportunity to speak my peace   and i leave it up to you to decide whos gonna follow me   i know im not a player   if i was id have a better position   keeping those through advanced manipulation   when in control i emulate all the things i do and say   and i would have some real control over this nation   and i dare anyone to call me prostitute   cause i never cared about what they want me to do   these are my songs and they come from my streets   where the only thing getting laid are vocals and beats   well, am i a junkie? maybe    because the cultures in my veins and its making its way up to my brain   ive been a user for my whole life   cause i love the way the music takes away the strife and the pains   so where do i stand and why do i sit   and i wish i could cash in   anyone can do it, there aint nothing to do   if the hip hop nation was a country   yo, the name of the city i lived in would be hungry      i represent a city called hungry   we got anyboy hungry in the house?   is hungry in the house?
