Cuts Like a knife

Homelessness is a shameful disease Nobody expects to be there One minute you're in society then your slammed living in poverty with fear Homelessness is a vicious cycle Spiraling in circles stuck and falling down Struggling to get back up before hitting the ground Keeping up with the Joneses always aiming to please But when you're down and out and homeless people treat you like you have a disease See I became homeless irresponsible I didn't pay my bills Too busy wanting to party doing drugs and loving the thrill With hard work a ton of effort not giving up and support I was able to pull myself out leaving that life behind move forward and abort A couple years have gone by, working hard blessed, life is treating me well Then out of the blue Covid-19, the Pandemic hit throwing me back into Hell How is this even possible? The struggle is real working my hands to the Bone Just to live under somebody else roof but at least I can call it my home I'm an independent contractor working under a platform in which they take 65% Work long hard days and can barely pay my rent The Pandemic hit hard financially I'm fucked I've applied for all benefits and relief and I can't even make a buck All doors are shut closed backs turned I'm broken As I slip into homelessness where the doors are always open So thanks to my Government and Covid for stealing my Sun For failing me and throwing me back to the streets I just came from Why should I back my Country who doesn't seem to care? What you're doing to us citizens it not right unjust and unfair Take care of your people President Trump in this time of destruction and despair Instead of spending taking care of other countries and when were in need it's not there.
