I look out the window Watching the rain The world’s full of sorrow Darkness and pain They always ask Why I listen to music Its how I escape This life makes me sick
I know life ain’t easy I know that it’s hard But with each passing day I’m falling apart.
Seeing tears in the eyes of my mother Knowing my parents never worthy of my brother Some days my only hope Is to run away Cuz no one can cope With all this crap everyday Watching my parents struggle with bills Yeah, we got welfare money, but still Them $200 a month ain’t enough And where’s Rashad when you need him the most? Spending all his money on useless stuff And every day I watch Sophia grow Into a strong, caring woman A helpless little girl no more And every time Papa and Enzo fought I’d hide in the room with her Cuz in the end, she’s all I got. Without Rashad at home Mama and Papa depend on Enzo To help pay all the loans But Enzo has other plans to do He’s trying to go to South America For at least a year or two Said it’s his way of becoming a man Of course Mama and Papa aren’t happy But I'm gonna do the best I can To fill that gap of my brothers I'll focus on my education Cuz all I want is a smile from my mother I won’t make the same mistake as Rashad And God protect Enzo, and Sophia too. Cuz she’s the best I ever had And to Mama and Papa:
I know life ain’t easy I know that it’s hard But as long as you got family You will never be apart. ♥
