I do what I do to put my daughter through college one day
so she will never have to do what I do to get payed
i chose this life, no one but me
but you cant tell me it wasn't destiny
when I got kicked out
living on my own
never had a stable home
and always feeling so alone
Searching for answers in people that never had them
self-medicating so I didn't have to feel so bad and
brook was getting older
weight crushing down on my shoulders
money owed everywhere
and then I had to stare
my baby in the eye knowing I had nothing.
I gave up everything.
I know im worth more
than this money on the floor
I know I will be talked about and humiliated, belittled and affiliated
with the filth of life
and everyday I cry
wondering why this had to be me
but when brook looks at me
I know that we will always have money
and she will never have to be homeless or hungry
or be anything less than what she's meant to be
she will always be happy, the way things are supposed to be.
