The Streets
I stood still too long
it’s hard to live on the streets
always thinking about your next meal
always thinking when I’m gonna eat
always watching my back in case anyone
trynna sneak, sleeping in a creek stinky
feet it aint clean.
Barley getting back on my
feet stacking my chips so I can eat.
