Struggle
July 11, 2018
Moved out mom and dads at the age of 18/
Young and and ambitious thought she found a new team/
Moved with a man who had money coming in/
Found out that the cash really wasnt his./
Bills came time to find herself a job/
Get some dough and then she gets robbed/
Working three jobs just to make ends meet/
Young momma trying to stay on her 2 feet/
Got 3 kids but the father passed away/
Stress in her chest tying to make it through the day/
Lights due and not enough to pay/
They dont care
just use the brightness from the day/
Rent due and not enough to pay/
They dont care they just throw you in the bay/
Now on the street have to sleep in her car/
Scared at night thinking someone will take it too far/
Hot water corn bread for dinner every night /
She couldnt afford anything else your right/
Go to the county because she needs a little help/
She asked for housing they say she dont qulify. welp?/
Back to the drawing board she need a little help/
Car note due they dont care they just repo. Welp?
Its really hard for a young black girl to survine/
proverty slaps her while she trying to thrive/ Working three jobs just to make ends meet/
Young momma trying to stay on her 2 feet/
Got 3 kids but the father passed away/
Stress in her chest tying to make it through the day. /
Through all the stuggle in the pain/
Poetry still remained/
Able to write down her life/
Made poets think twice/
She got a trophy and some cash/
Now her family will last/
Its really hard for a young girl to survine/
proverty slaps her while she trying to thrive/
Was working three jobs just to make ends meet/
Young momma finally got on her 2 feet/
Got 3 kids but the father passed away/
No stress in her chest/
She can make it through the day.
