Rated: E · Lyrics · Music · #1547585
based off the emotion I felt during my time of hardship, homelessness, and struggle.
I been poor all my life so i ain't new to recession
Seen people committed suicide over living without money in their possession
Being broke is one of the causes of the disorder called depression
Praying for a blessing but in return get a lesson not knowing the blessing is in the lesson
Bills keep coming and still I can't see no funding
Times are tight you can even save a little something
It's quick to spend but what you saved so long for nothing
Be for real I can see no fun in stunting
Keep it a hundred instead of cheating and fronting
I worked a nine to five then when I got off work I sold herb five to nine
served nothing less than a dime
catch me in a good mood maybe I'll let it go for five
I'm a hustler no matter how you look at me even if you call me small time
Too many nights without meals couldn't sleep in peace
So the next time I eat, I'll make sure I feast
Mind of a barbarian heart of a beast
You couldn't walk in my shoes, you can only smell my feet
I never took them off because I was making moves braking rules
After seeing people with degrees unemployed, it still would be the same if I stayed in school
You can have brains but without money you're blatant fool
This not just a song, this is what I observed going on
If you feel perturb and think what I am saying is absurd then correct me if I'm wrong.
