By Street Cries
See I am hungry so l got to eat feeling pain inside can't sleep
See food stamp come on the fifteenth its the eleventh couple days from heaven
You see mommy spends her money on the seventh
Cigs at 711 my pops gives me money teaches lessons
Works hard no profession no car so he keeps stepping
My home broken late night my tears keeps me choking
So when gangs talk to me i am open hopping to be heard when spoken
Depressed talking fast girl at recess only 13 what a mess
Sunday School taught rules that my house dont prove
Streets my mentality what l got to lose with mom dating crazy dudes
Who's who in the door coming through
Pops in suburbs watching news
Don't have clue what l go through
I stay silent emotionally bruised
So l raise myself ask no help things seem ok quiet as kept
As long as l stay to myself
Watching tv escaping reality seeing how my life could be or should be
See the pain in my eyes and know that its me Peace
