Im out Here


im out here struggling 

trying to make end meet ,

i get a little drop from the government 

from time to time put it doe's nt help much because 

I got three daughters and two sons  that have to 

eat, 

minimum wage 8.75 an hour after doing graveyard shifts 

for over  12 hours come in the cook ,clean,do the kids hair

too exhausted to take a shower
