Job
so hurt the love grows dim
sit back, relax, glass of Jim
stairs straight ahead, blank face, car rims
"what do you want", man fancies women's skin
hops in, work begins
soul ties, feeble grin
"does that feel right" women moans
never knew this was your life long loan
pays the price for her child to have a home
why this? why now? child cries, no soul
"dirty" is the women who moans for gold
straight dollor bills, fake love, fools gold
tries to make a living while living for the giving
giving all her body life a pawn shop of sinning
baby at home trying to make food off of bread
while mama make bread to keep her weave on her head
couple hundred dollar bills made for the night
buys weed, head weave, sex toys, foolish feed
kids home
nothing more
what's there to do
just
sit back, relax, next client, come through
