[Intro – Low Piano, Vinyl Hiss, Spoken] They think I ate ‘cause I’m standin’. They think I’m full ‘cause I’m breathin’. Nah. I’m still hungry. ⸻ [Verse 1 – DMX Cadence, Controlled and Cold] I been starvin’ so long it became my tone, Every meal I missed put muscle on my bones. They see motion, assume I’m satisfied, They ain’t see the nights I went to war with pride. I don’t eat comfort, I digest pain, Turn setbacks into disciplined gain. They celebrate crumbs, I reject the plate, ‘Cause hunger keep my vision awake. I been broke with fire and fed with fear, And hunger stayed when success appeared. You don’t lose the edge that saved your life, You sharpen it and you survive twice. ⸻ [Hook – Minimal, Barked] Hunger never left. (NO!) Hunger stayed. (WHY!) I don’t relax when I see progress— I apply. Hunger never left. (LISTEN!) Still right here. (FACTS!) Success ain’t feed me— it made me clear. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Spiritual Grit, No Celebration] I seen kings fall off ‘cause they got full, Confused comfort with the power to rule. I don’t feast on applause or shiny lights, I eat discipline every night. They want ease after pressure, rest after grind, But hunger remind me where I came from in time. I don’t chase peace if it dull my blade, I stay ready ‘cause I been betrayed. I talk to God before I sleep, Ask Him to keep me uncomfortable, deep. ‘Cause comfort kill what hunger built, And I ain’t tryna lose what scars instilled. ⸻ [Hook – Louder, Call-and-Response] Hunger never left! (STAND UP!) Still in my chest! (WHAT!) Every step forward just demand more from me next! Hunger never left! (NO DOUBT!) I ain’t get soft! (WHY!) If I’m breathin’, I’m workin’— that’s law! ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken, Almost a Sermon] They think hunger mean lack. Nah… Hunger mean memory. I remember what it cost to get here. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Final Resolve, Quiet Authority] I don’t flex growth, I respect it, I don’t celebrate ‘til I protect it. Every win just widen the target, So hunger keep me armored. They say “you made it,” I say “I ain’t done,” I don’t stop movin’ just ‘cause I won. The grind ain’t phase, it’s who I am, Hunger my compass, discipline my hand. So if you see me calm, don’t confuse it with ease, I’m still starvin’— I just learned how to eat pressure clean. ⸻ [Final Hook – Anthem, Barked and Final] HUNGER NEVER LEFT! (NO!) HUNGER STAYED! (LISTEN!) IT BUILT ME FROM THE BOTTOM— AND IT AIN’T GO AWAY! HUNGER NEVER LEFT! (FACTS!) STILL IN MY VEINS! (WHY!) I DON’T GET FULL— I GET BETTER WITH PAIN! ⸻ [Outro – Beat Drops, One Line] Comfort retires champions. Hunger creates them.
