to my future kids
barely getting any sleep,
going through each day working two jobs,
got future plans I have to keep,
but nobody knows of my wounds that are too deep,
walked miles with these feet,
drumming along to any down-to-earth beat,
I will not drown in defeat,
God, why is life so bittersweet,
To my future kids,
you'll have a bedroom with a bed,
you'll have food yeah you'll always be fed,
you can talk about any thoughts running through your head
