My $20 Bill


 

A $20 dollar bill is all I have left

My phone bill is just $20

I need my $20 and I need my phone on

But I don’t want to spend my $20


 

All I have is a $20 dollar bill in my pocket

The lent is sticking to my $20 dollar bill

My $20 dollar bill is all I have

But I don’t want to spend my $20


 

So I don’t pay my phone bill

Now it’s off and I have no phone

So I go home and open the door

Brittany I need $20 but mama that’s all I got


 

Sadly I don’t have my $20

I have nothing but lent and bubble gum wrapper

I sit on the bed gazing out the window looking sad

My $20 bill was all I had
