Lyrics
Starving in the schools
Expressing hunger and lack in educational settings.
Starving for attention
Desiring attention, possibly due to feeling neglected.
Killin to be cool
Suggesting a willingness to do extreme things to appear cool.
Cause we're just dying for affection
Yearning for affection and attention, even to the point of desperation.
Starving in the streets
Experiencing deprivation and difficulties in life.
Tell me what I'm missing
Seeking an understanding of what is lacking or missing.
Everybody's gettin back
People receiving consequences corresponding to their actions.
Exactly what they're giving
Highlighting reciprocity in life - receiving what one gives.
Desperate is as desperate does
Desperation leading to desperate actions.
One step away from giving up
On the verge of giving up due to desperation.
But don't give up, no don't give up
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges.
Lord knows we've had enough
Acknowledging a collective need for positive change.
It's so hard out here
Emphasizing the difficulty of life's challenges.
Out here, out here
It's so hard out here
Reiterating the challenges faced in life.
Out here, out here
United we stand and divided we fall
Stressing unity and warning against division.
If it's all for one it's one for all
Highlighting the importance of collective effort.
It's so hard out here
Repeating the difficulty of life's challenges.
Out here, out here
Running out of breath
Feeling breathless and overwhelmed.
How can anybody breath
Raising awareness about challenging circumstances affecting breathing.
We're running from the law
Fleeing from legal consequences without understanding why.
Don't know why they're after me
Questioning the reasons for being pursued by the law.
Running from the truth and responsibilities
Avoiding truth and responsibilities, possibly due to fear or fatigue.
Aren't you tired of running
Asking if others are tired of running from challenges.
God I know you've gotta be
Recognizing God's awareness of the collective exhaustion.
