I felt that artistic love towards Godforbid as I heard that: I was like "where do i know that line" then smiled. Its gotta feel awesome to plug something like that in, and have fans go through what i did.
I can't find the lyrics anywhere so I thought I'd put what I can hear here! Pity the child that nobody hears When his hunger for love cries out Who starves 'till he's old beyond his years Won't somebody here pity the child? Used to have pity, now I don't have any Used to have pity, now I don't have any. Keeper's like my best friend, God bless his soul He's gettin better tho, staying on the Methedol Popped a couple spots, put the cash in his vein Came back from jail not actin the same Told everybody call em by his African name, last thing I heard he was at it again His girl got pregnant, High school ended They had bad attendance didn't get enough credits Got a job on Craig's List workin on the day shift Dreamin of the places he never really made it Boss was a racist, caught him on surveillance Caught another case just staring at the planes Sometimes I catch myself doing tasteful impressions, bout the way he'd tell a joke or his facial expressions Life is just a test but you pay for the lessons Your kids and your rent and your cable connections. Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much Used to have pity now I don't have any Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much Used to have pity now I don't have any Remember that gorgeous girl from the Northwest? Hangin on the porch just sitting on the doorsteps Parent's got divorced started going with this older dude Doing what he told her to, never really go to school Hit a few box in the socks while he sold a few I tried objecting but I'm guessing It was overruled Seen her just the other day falling over drunk Said she need a place to stay just to sober up Well I know better, or at least I know enough But I took her to my home and I had to hold her up Gone in the morning she had stole a buncha stuff Already dead but nobody pulled the plug Thinkin of her smile how she used to be adorable I seen her on the corner though and it was just a horror show You know life, there's no dull moment They found her on the street laying up the star over Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much Used to have pity now I don't have any (Any, any) Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much Used to have pity now I don't have any Pity the child that nobody hears When his hunger for love cries out Who starves 'till he's old beyond his years Won't somebody here pity the child? Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity the child) Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity the boy) Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity us all) Used to have pity now I don't have- Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much I said you don't know much Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?) So what (So what) Used to know it all now you don't know much Pity us all Pity us all
Hi! I think I just came across it. I think the sample might be "Pity the Child" by The Albert. In this song it appears to be a little higher and faster, but the lyrics are the same. C8
I like how people who know Godforbid will recognize the "I used to have pity and now I dont have any"

First thing I thought of was Pills For Everything -That Handsome Devil. Good stuff all around
standing on the corner in the cloth tube top
I can't find the lyrics anywhere so I thought I'd put what I can hear here!
Pity the child that nobody hears
When his hunger for love cries out
Who starves 'till he's old beyond his years
Won't somebody here pity the child?
Used to have pity, now I don't have any
Used to have pity, now I don't have any.
Keeper's like my best friend, God bless his soul
He's gettin better tho, staying on the Methedol
Popped a couple spots, put the cash in his vein
Came back from jail not actin the same
Told everybody call em by his African name,
last thing I heard he was at it again
His girl got pregnant, High school ended
They had bad attendance didn't get enough credits
Got a job on Craig's List workin on the day shift
Dreamin of the places he never really made it
Boss was a racist, caught him on surveillance
Caught another case just staring at the planes
Sometimes I catch myself doing tasteful impressions,
bout the way he'd tell a joke or his facial expressions
Life is just a test but you pay for the lessons
Your kids and your rent and your cable connections.
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
Used to have pity now I don't have any
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
Used to have pity now I don't have any
Remember that gorgeous girl from the Northwest?
Hangin on the porch just sitting on the doorsteps
Parent's got divorced started going with this older dude
Doing what he told her to, never really go to school
Hit a few box in the socks while he sold a few
I tried objecting but I'm guessing It was overruled
Seen her just the other day falling over drunk
Said she need a place to stay just to sober up
Well I know better, or at least I know enough
But I took her to my home and I had to hold her up
Gone in the morning she had stole a buncha stuff
Already dead but nobody pulled the plug
Thinkin of her smile how she used to be adorable
I seen her on the corner though and it was just a horror show
You know life, there's no dull moment
They found her on the street laying up the star over
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
Used to have pity now I don't have any (Any, any)
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
Used to have pity now I don't have any
Pity the child that nobody hears
When his hunger for love cries out
Who starves 'till he's old beyond his years
Won't somebody here pity the child?
Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity the child)
Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity the boy)
Used to have pity now I don't have any (Pity us all)
Used to have pity now I don't have-
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
I said you don't know much
Well you're all grown up? (Grown up?)
So what (So what)
Used to know it all now you don't know much
Pity us all
Pity us all
I think for the second verse its "They found her laying on the street with her skull open." It would make more sense If that was the lyric
Fantastic sound. Just love the fusion of different styles
This song pops up in my head every now and then. Used to listen to it a ton in 10th grade.
I'm so glad you pointed me in the right direction.
Beautiful track.
Pity the child that nobody hears, when his hunger for love cries out.
I wanna reccomend this album everywhere
