chakidah

[Intro] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Sometimes I choose to be hungry instead of open up my mouth Wake up every day, I look at the plate Said that I'm so thankful, said I no like eat leftovers [Chorus] She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) [Verse 2] My mama chee tell me don’t waste nothing Heat it up, it’s still good Said we can’t throw food away In this house we never could Reheating what we had last night Makes me not want to take even one bite [Chorus] She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) [Verse 3] Since I was just a semirit Plate was always passed to me “Finish what your sister left, Don’t complain, just eat.” Fish bones sitting in the bowl Breadfruit already dry and crusty Learned how to say “I’m thankful” While hunger stayed inside [Chorus] She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) [Verse 4] They say don’t be ungrateful Don’t act like you above Plenty people starving You should eat with love But something in me is restless Every time I chew I feel l want to spew It’s not about the hunger It’s about what’s left for you [Chorus] She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) She said I can only have Chakidah Which way this going go? (oh, oh, oh) Which way this food will go? (oh, oh, oh) [Outro] Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
