Headache.


 

I have nothing,

But a big dream.

It keeps me going

But sometimes it's not enough.

 

I want to learn,

I want to study,

but i simply don't have the money,

 

It drives me mad at times,

so much that i'm afraid to eat

Everything goes into tuition payments.

 

I find solace in my sleep

That's where i can dream

One day I'll be something!

 

Work hard to get through the day.

only to find that i still have nothing

Just more bills to pay.

 

I'll keep trying, cus' i've got a dream

Nothing will keep me from reaching it

Get another job and sacrifice my social life

In order to get that degree!
