It's really humiliating
To be shaking a cup
24 hours a day
And people just look
At you like you're
Some sort of ***
I go to fill out applications
They look at me and
I'm not looking presentable
And then they
"Well, we'll call you
Leave a number"
But how can I leave a number
When I don't have a phone
It's just a struggle
I've had people
walk past me and
Say "get a job you ***
And I said "wait a minute"
"I'm not a ***
I'm a human"
And, it's hard
After the end of the day
When people go home
I just feel so bad
That I can't be
Going home too
