Happiness in poverty (actual words from the *** on my corner)
I lost everything, but I feel I've gained so much more you see, all the stress is gone and I finally feel free.
The chains have fallen off and I go where I please. Passing people on the street as they look at me like aΒ diseases.
Who are you to judge, you don't know me, the **** I've been through would have you begging on your knees.Β Β
Unbelievable but I've adapted to this life, cold winter nights that sting more than a steel knife.
I find food, when I need to eat, and the world's my bed so I always have a place to sleep.
Friends and family, have all disappeared, and most have died and yeah I shed my share of tears.
I wouldn't trade this life for nothing, I'm happy where I've laid, and I see you jealous people as you walk around lost and afraid.
You wish you knew freedom the way I have it, bills and money don't tie me up cause it my life so I grab it.
