If you're havin' hunger problems I feel bad for ya son
They got 24 tributes and I became one

They chose both of us on Reaping Day
Would they pick either one of us back then I couldn't say
She's a good huntsman prodigious with a bow
I'm from her hood stupid, that's truth and I'm sure it shows
When her sister got chose, I'm sure everyone knows,
She volunteered in her place now the case is closed
She like "Fuck this, you ain't gonna have my sis,
I have the same last name but my name's Katniss"
Then they drew a boy and my thoughts went dark
The lady taking names read "Peeta Malarke"
Got to the stage relatively fast
Cause the guards would come to knock me on my ass
The Capitol awards the winner widespread fame
Now Kat and I are off to The Hunger Games
We're from District Twelve and we ain't done
They got 24 tributes and I became one
Hit me

24 tributes and I became one
If you having hunger problems I feel bad for ya son
They got 24 tributes and I became one
Hit me

Year's '74 and we're settin' off
In a few days it's the Capitol
Got two choices y'all look out the side or (hmmm)
Sit on the couch and meet our mentor
Now I ain't trying to die in no Hunger Games today
Plus I got a few hours I can hear his case
So I...sit down opposite Haymitch
I heard, "Son, you are one brave son of a bitch"
My name was drawn from a bowl and I play a role
In a fight to the death that is annual
I'd like your help, I'm not invincible
"Well if you want to live, get yourself sponsored
Fans send items to the tributes they like
And if they think you can win they may fly you a kite"
I'm outgoing as shit, but that worries me a bit
"Do you mind if I help you out with that a little bit?"
I'm sure I could get some help from the outside
But I don't think Katniss can, she's way too shy
"Aren't you a special guy, sticking out your neck or something
And catching bullets for someone"
Nah, I want to win, but I know a little bit
Enough to make sure that at least it's my district
"We'll see how long you live when the games are on"
They got 24 tributes and I became one
Hit me

[Chorus x2]

Now once upon a time not too long ago
A Tribute like myself was punishment for rebels
I mean the rebels from the wasteland of District 13
When they tried and failed in their bid to secede
I tried to ignore this and train for the Games
Prepare to kick ass and take some names
Capitol's the type, overdressed and hyped
I'd love to see them in a District try to live life
The only things that happened was that it was a bloodbath
He and his boys formed a clan and made it happen
There I go hiding in rocks yet again
Use my skills to make a disguise and keep hidden
I'm bleedin' out a trail, markin' my position
I was lucky it was Katniss tracking it
Game admins try to change the rules like the wind
Now two Tributes from the same District together can win
Soon it was down to just the two of us
Rule changed back and we're suddenly thrust
Kat handed me poison berries but she herself kept some
That day they had two victors, and I became one
Hit me

[Chorus x3]
This is a parody of "99 Problems" by Jay-Z (original song [link] instrumental [link] )

This one I actually put effort into. Unlike, say, a certain LMFAO parody I posted over yonder?
