Grind
Pulling 12-hour days and taking extra shifts
is so worth is at the end of the month
when I visit my sister and her baby boy;
when I'm able to help out.
Even just a little because Daddy's losing his job
and I need to be there for them.
I'll kill myself
and sell my soul for ten dollars an hour
just to make sure my family back home eats.
