Hungry

We all have a flame, how do 
you keep it burning?
When it's raining and the wind 
is blowing.
Time is money, so how do you 
keep the hands turning?
We all have secrets, how do 
you keep them from not 
showing?
This is how I do it,
I say screw it.
I keep it moving before it 
makes me look stupid.
My old problem was falling in 
love like I got shot by Cupid.
I can't do this, I can't be 
ruthless.
I'm better then this, I mean I'm 
the best.
I won't stop until I get shot in 
the chest.
Y'all should sit back and rest.
Watch me destroy and leave a 
big mess.
I'm hungry to change the world 
and I ain't talking about thighs 
and breast.
If y'all doubt me, I will A's your 
test-Mario Perez
