I step back and pause for a moment So I may try to understand this destructive path I call my life Like a light house I only work when I burn bright But it seems so many Force me to fight I fight my family Cause they think they know best But they don't know the struggle When you don't have a home Where your head can rest They don't understand the need To be high To feel so human-less I don't contribute to society By working for minimum wage I'm too busy Out here on the streets Playing the game But unlike others this game is no joke It’s a constant battle To stay just above broke Most of my meals Come from dumpster Or kind folks The life of an addict Living on the streets I would wish Upon no one Living each day in defeat Praying for a way out Praying that I’m not too weak
