Money or Starve 
by Andrea Victoria
 
 
What would you do? 
If you were in a situation 
Where 
You'd have to pick life or death
Money or starve 
 
Why would you pick him?
Why would you pick her ?
You know exactly what you're doing
Ending a child's life 
Is like ending your own childhood
 
What would you do? 
If you were there
Watching that little boy walk with that man
 
He's so fragile
That he could break
Dont harm that child 
His life's about to begin
 
He's fragile 
He doesn't know better 
 
He's trying to live
His lifes about to begin
 
He cries and cries 
begs the man no more 
he didn't ask for this
he only wanted money to survive 
but instead his life flashes before his eyes 
 
I promise you 
if I had all the money in the world 
I'd make sure those men never lay a finger on you 
fight til the end, study hard
make sure they all regret 
for what they did to you
 
Why would you pick him?
Why would you pick her?
You know exactly what you're doing
Ending a child's life 
Is like ending your own
